    I hauled a ton of it when I was fracking. Now the worst thing we haul is biocide which is nasty stuff as well. Smells awful. Tastes worse

    Train horns are 150db in 100 feet and are able to be heard for 5 miles. (railroad enthusiast)
    I would be more concerned for the locals. If they are on wells, that company is going to be buying the residents alot of water!

    44,000 gallons??? News crew must be sniffing the fumes. Lol.
    That would be about 350,000lbs of liquid.

    Reporters. FAKE NEWS.
    That's where that got started.
    It's because they're idiots.

    And the gullible public will hear/read that and say “Oh and he was overloaded”. Then in a few years someone will get sick and blame the accident that happened 10 miles away lol.

    Read the two articles - 4,400 gallons, not 44,000. Just as serious though!
