Trains Collide Head-on in North Texas
The Associated Press
Published: May 19, 2004
GUNTER, Texas (AP) - Two freight trains collided just outside this small north Texas town Wednesday, leaving rail cars in a mangled mess and causing multiple injuries, authorities said.
Grayson County Sheriff's Sgt. Pam McCurdy said that she didn't know how many people were injured, but knew that some of the injuries were severe. A medical helicopter was dispatched.
Joe Faust, a spokesman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp., said both of the trains belonged to the company.
Neither Faust nor McCurdy knew what caused the accident.
McCurdy said one of the trains derailed after the head-on collision. Television footage showed about 20 cars off the tracks.
Gunter is 50 miles north of Dallas.

I didn't know we had rockets with sarin???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarin rocket disposal could start in July
The Army expects the incinerator at the Umatilla depot will be ready, but others say more work must be done
Wednesday, May 19, 2004
ANDY DWORKIN
Two months from now, the U.S. Army hopes to start incinerating rockets filled with sarin nerve agent now stored at Umatilla Chemical Depot near Hermiston.
The step is overdue. The Army once promised to have destroyed the site's entire 3,700-ton inventory of chemical weapons by 2003. But lawsuits, construction delays, environmental rules and other problems intervened.
It's still not clear when the first sarin weapon will enter the incinerator. Umatilla leaders say it will be mid-July. But "there's an awful lot of work that has to be done by the Army and by the contractor," Washington Demilitarization Co., to meet of state environmental requirements and be allowed to start burning weapons, said Dennis Murphey, the Department of Environmental Quality administrator overseeing the effort.
This week, Oregonians get their chance to discuss whether the incinerator is ready to start destroying some of the country's deadliest arms, as the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission meets in Hermiston. Commissioners are scheduled to tour the incinerator plant today and meet with representatives of local, state, national and tribal governments.
The commission will take public comments from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Hermiston Community Center. The agency is taking written comments on the question until June 7.
At least some of those comments will say that the incinerator is not ready to start now and question whether it ever should. Some watchdog groups in Oregon and nationwide say that the incinerator's technology isn't proved or safe enough, and say the Army has a spotty record of managing other, similar chemical weapons incinerators in the United States.
"I don't think it's wise at all to start" in July, said Karyn Jones, a member of the Hermiston activist group Gasp, which has sued to stop the incinerator. "They still have so many things to take care of."

Glad you're ok!
I have a good friend who is Brazilian. What kind of material is it and how long?
Arrggh. I'm itching just thinking about that story!
Westcoastgal, the way they describe these fibers reminds me of that stuff that was in your cereal box!
He has shaved its beard and got the American visa easily and as if the Allah the Exalted the Majestic is an obliteration on their eyes and a blindness on their hearts and they did not doubt it .
And prepared himself for the travel ....
This is a person that will make an American and its
greatness on his knees .
This was a person from another group that its individuals will go to ...........
The videotapes ready for recording the event but any channel Yatra who can the direct transfer ....CNN or FOX NEWS or ABC or Siconwa persons in the cellar is its time؟؟؟؟؟ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks!
You brightened my day, thank you.
Yes, yucko I never got any results from Kelloggs so I took it back to Longs. They were quite amazed at the contents.
I've been debating whether to ping the Idaho residents on board....don't want to make them start itching. But seriously it sounds very weird whatever it is.
Boy did Congress rush that one through fast! Too fast, if ya ask me.
What a waste of taxpayer's momey. They wouldn't have been developed if someone didn't think we needed them. I know several jihadis over in Iraq that would love these...warhead first.
I'll copy'n'paste it to him, and see if he wants to give it a try. His English is - ESL (LOL). He retains a strong Brazilian accent, both spoken and written after many years! And he's a busy man, but I'll ask him if he can at least give a synopsis.
It is very weird and strange that it's confined to just Idaho. (Well, that we know of anyway)
