We reported earlier on the train derailment that took place in East Palestine, Ohio ten days ago on Feb. 3. Because there were chemicals on board the cars and they were concerned about a potential explosion, they had what they said was a “controlled release” of chemicals to reduce that risk after evacuating residents within a one-mile area. But now, many people are concerned about the effects of the release despite the assurances as to the quality of the air. Animals in the area are dying and it’s understandably making people upset. A reporter who was covering the story and asking questions also was arrested, which is not making people happy.
Now on Monday, two more train derailments are raising questions — one in Montgomery, Texas as well as another in Enoree, South Carolina.
The derailment in Montgomery (which is north of Houston) happened this morning around 7:30 a.m. and was caused by hitting a truck on the tracks. The truck driver was killed.
21 cars derailed in the crash. So far there doesn’t appear to be any hazardous spill. The train included some hazardous materials, so Union Pacific is monitoring the air quality at the site of the crash, according to the Splendora Police Department.
There was also a second derailment on Monday afternoon in Enoree, South Carolina. CSX Transportation is on the scene and it looks like fluid tankers from the pictures, but there’s not a lot of information yet. It’s not clear what caused the derailment there. You can see a video here.
sounds like something antifa would do. You know, the folks that scumbag Wray says don’t exist except as an idea.
Food production/distribution facilities, Chicken farms, trains....
There was another train derailment on the Metro North in New Canaan, CT this morning.
Hey if Gay Pete’s not worried then everything must be peachy.
Hey give Buttplugged a break. He’s hot on the tail ... I mean trail of getting rid of all those white racists construction workers.
I'm not an Objectivist, but Atlas appears to be shrugging.
Oh, and the increasing legalizing and use of marijuana is also not helping.
I couldn’t blame Atlas one bit.
Worry not, Buttjuice will have an emergency meeting to hire more diversity people in infrastructure
so where is all that infrastructure funding going anyway
Also do not forget the late E. Hunter Harrison's precision scheduled railroading business model. Fewer employees equals more profit and less maintenance.
This is starting to look very strange. Are we looking at domestic terrorism (leftists)?
Defund and disband the Departments of Transportation, Homeland Security and Energy. They are beyond useless.
GOP in Congress, are you listening?
Sort of like those self-service checkouts at supermarkets.
Or the difficulty in talking to a human being when you have a problem with an online order. If you're lucky, you might be able to have an online chat with customer service rep in India.
Well, it was Bush who came up with Homeland Security.
Education too.
