    Post #9 was meant for hilarity, not to make anyone uncomfortable.

    The "REST OF THE STORY"
    :Residents worry about going home, toxic gas from derailment
    "Phosgene is a highly toxic gas that can cause vomiting and breathing trouble and was used as a weapon in World War 1."

    "Five derailed cars were transporting vinyl chloride, which is used to make the polyvinyl chloride hard plastic resin in plastic products and is associated with increased risk of liver and other cancers, according to the federal government’s National Cancer Institute."


    I'm GLAD we live a mile plus from the nearest Rail Road which has both Passenger and Unpassenger Freight.

    a trucker and trucking company are not involved, that's why.

    gov'ment gotta save their own butt from the lawsuits to protect their railway workers and unions.

    Makes sense... arrest the residents that are victims. Drag out the cover up (investigation) as long as possible to memory hole it and gives anyone at fault time to resign, leave company and possibly country.

    With full faith of US government.

    If there was a Theme Park or City Park or Sports Stadium or Shopping Center instead of a neighborhood, activities would have been significantly DIFFERENT.
