I'm sure they'd put it in the headline if the chemicals belonged to Dow or Great Lakes Chemical.

It's not just an acid spill, it's a spill of evil HALIBURTON acid.

OMG! Not Halliburton acid! The most caustic, vile, and agressive form of acid known to man! Where was Cheney?

That Halliburton acid is particularly corrosive. Corrosive to our national comity, our ideals, our very way of life. That Halliburton acid is destructive to all it touches, and will burn a hole straight down to China, where it will extract the oil and pay the poor Chinese coolies nothing...

Must have been the brown acid.

I've heard of nitric acid, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid but I've never heard of Halliburton acid. Weird.

Halliburton is in the oil production business, and some use a polymer slurry. Acid is an important component that has to be added on site. 400 gals is only 2 pallets worth. Big deal, dilute it and move on. No BFD.

Chant with me people,

Haliburton Spilled, people were killed!
Haliburton Spilled, people were killed!

It's Bush's fault. The truck driver was a neocon crony!

Our own satire is having difficulty keeping up with these headlines.

This has to be intentional, and another reason why George Bush is unfit to be President. /sarcasm

Crap. There goes the Colorado baby seal population. We'll be cleaning acid off ducks for a decade.

In a related story

Disaster averted
A truckload of "TUMS" was damaged today when it tipped over while bypassing an earlier truck accident on 141, it was learned today.
The product was ruined when it mixed with acid spilled from a mining truck. A gas cloud formed temporally, but fortunately, according to the EPA, the gas was of the same type normally found much further East and posed no threat to anyone other than women and minorities.

Film at 11.

Watch, the section of highway will be clean, last for years longer than any other parts around it and states will begin to use it to make highways last longer....

400-500 gallons of acid just doesn't fall off of a truck. Here I go with my suspicions again.

I would guess the acid is the acetic acid they use to open up limestone formations. Standard pkgs are 55 gal drums. I don't know of any 250 gal pkgs. They would weight ~1.3 ton and wouldn't just fall off a truck. They probably lost 2 drums, ~100 gals.
