Controlled release, burn of dangerous chemicals after train derailment planned

[Shawnster]

90 minutes from my house.  About an hour or so from @Brother_Blissand @AH173@AH173. They evacuated everyone in a mile radius because of the deadly fumes.

I had a Hazmat classes back in the day and that train wreck is a Hazmat nightmare.

I watched the movie on TV called 'Runaway' just 2 days ago.

To have a chemical spill so close to home is not ideal!

About 60 miles, 1+ hours away.

 

When I lived in Kent in the late 90's we had a train derailment there also. But those cars were filled with grain. The birds of heaven enjoyed helping with the cleanup, lol

I was reading about this derailment on a train forum I am on. Hope their handling of the hazardous material goes well and they don't make a bad situation worse.

I saw a training video about an emergency response at an oil refinery tank, I don't remember the details about the emergency, but the responders decided to cut into the side of the tank with a cut-off saw and released hydrocarbons that ignited. A bad situation made worse...

People are thinking that these objects that are appearing in the skies are a way to distract people, so they don't get caught up in this chemical thing. Is it conspiracy theory?

Yes, it's a conspiracy theory.  I live about an hour and a half from the train derailment site.  This is totally unrelated to the balloons and other objects being shot down. 

 

Nobody around here is being distracted from the derailment news.  Honestly, while it is a big scary environmental disaster, I doubt it's would ever receive much national news attention. It's just not that big of a story on the national scale.
