Try to move it somewhere else, and causing the same problems elsewhere?
I get the outrage, but unless you have solutions, fuck off. This shit is statistically going to happen, and all we can do is manage it when it does.
And yes, they're vastly under stating the problems. They always do. They're going to get sued, and ns is going to take it up the ass pretty hard from lawsuits and the government both.
You know, when nuclear waste is transported it’s put in a concrete sarcophagus that is engineered to survive train derailments. There should be some more thought put into how we transport chemicals like this that are seemingly just as dangerous as nuclear waste.
Yep, and it's meant to be not taken out of that concrete, or if it is, by special tools in a controlled circumstance, vs chemicals which might react poorly with concrete or other materials and need to be stored and transported with the intent to get them out more easily by the end buyer (or seller).
It's almost like there are different tools for different jobs.
Feel free to design a container that can survive a derailment that meets the needs of everyone involved, and/or call your senators/rep about higher federal standards.
I’m not sure why you’re being so snarky. I wasn’t saying to stick pressurized gas into concrete that would be ridiculous. This is a really catastrophic event, the effects will be felt throughout the whole country, even maybe abroad depending on where the wind is taking the smoke. It would have been nice if more thought was put into the transportation of these volatile chemicals.
Going back to my prior point, feel free to design a better container, or lobby people to make higher standards. Until then, bitching about it doesn't change anything, and won't.
Counterpoint: what do you want them to do?
Not transport chemicals by rail?
Leave what could be a bomb there to explode?

It's not about the accident. It is the lack of coverage and the government itself downplaying the possible aftereffects.
Its doing what china did. Downplaying it and hope its someone else is responsible, can fix it or dissapear. All governments do this.
It's the government. If you're shocked by that, you're as retarded as the leftists are.

My understanding is that this train was intentionally misclassified as not carrying hazardous materials so they could run it faster.

Because it's a retarded point.
"Guys, maybe letting hazmat fuck shit up is bad"
You don't fucking say.

Not lying would be a start. Not arresting journalists covering it would be too.
