Memphis tanker truck disaster
rdfs:comment
The Memphis tanker truck disaster was a transportation disaster that occurred on December 23, 1988, when a tractor-trailer tanker truck hauling liquefied propane crashed on an exit ramp at the Interstate 40/Interstate 240 (I-40/I-240) interchange in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The crash ruptured the tank, causing the leaking gas to ignite, which produced a large explosion that set multiple vehicles and structures on fire. The tank was then propelled 125 yards (114 m) from the site where it crashed into a residential complex and started additional fires. The accident resulted in nine deaths and ten injuries. The interchange where the accident occurred was considered unsafe and poorly designed, and had been the site of several previous accidents. It was completely rebuilt in the 2000s.
