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.
