I remember the TV Public Service Announcements as a kid back in the 60's telling us not to pick up these things.

They made me want to go look for them!....................

What if this derailment was intentional, done to make the Biden administration look good and it backfired horribly?................

REMEMBER OBAMA HAD THE GULF OIL WELL DISASTER IN 2010.................

We had no mining around our north Mississippi area, but that didn’t stop me from looking!....................

There has been a 500% increase in terrorist crossings since that treasonous prick threw the border open. Maybe that has something to do with this. I’m betting the derailed train count is way higher than anyone knows.

I’m sure the fbi, the highly-respected law enforcement agency, will get right on it and investigate whether antifa/enviro-wackos were involved.

Don’t burn? What do you want them to do? What’s the other, better course of action? Slow leak into streams? Slow evap, heavy fumes, into neighborhoods?

Ever see a fireman pump from a derailed tanker? They wouldn’t get much closer than these residents.

Ban plastic. Ban everything that burns. Ban railroads. Avoid all risk. Drop railroad speeds to 1mph.

What would governors know about pvc to give the burn call....like covid, not their expertise. It’s a railroad/osha call that would be standard operating proceedure for derailment. Is that what they did?

Panic everyone.

The fire was noticed 20 miles earlier. Looked like a wheel or axel failure..........

Yes, they didn’t say where these were, but I looked for them all along the roads and railroad tracks!..........

If I’d actually found one I’d a probably blowed my hand off!..............

...and an “undetonated blasting cap”...
...which has a wire and is filled with cotton, was used to help detonate the cars in the controlled burn.

Oh, where do I begin?

An undetonated blasting cap is not filled with cotton. It is filled with three layers of explosive, starting with something the hot filament can ignite followed by a chain of more powerful explosives ending with RDX or PETN at the tip.
If it had been used to set off that explosion it certainly wouldn't be an undetonated cap.
If it was at the explosion site and flung 1.4 miles by the explosion, it would have self detonated.
Caps can be safely handled. Don't squish them or get them hot.
There may be cotton inside the epoxy wire seal; however, you can't see that if the case is intact. If the case is not intact, than the cap definitely has been used.

That’s what I thought.

If it had been unused it would be sealed..............
