I'm curious whether the Holland Tunnel would pass a safety inspection if that same disaster happened today

Tough to read that caption, but the truck that exploded in the tunnel was carrying some chemical that was only allowed to be moved 400lbs at a time.....he had 40,000lbs on the truck. Amazingly, no one died.

In case you didn't know, that same helicopter in the news clip is now in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.
