[QUOTE="Roadrunner70, post: 3986521, member: 44811"] It's very rare a derailment causes deaths/injury. These aren't anything new as far as derailments go. Very few end up the way the Ohio one did. For anyone to call the water drinkable, clearly has no business being allowed to ever talk about anything ever again. I know just enough about chemistry and environmental norms to be dangerous to anyone to argue with me. I'm sure some of the Vinyl Chloride (highly cancer causing chemical) was spilled into the soil and leeched into the water. I will not be surprised if cancer deaths increase drastically for the people that live nearest to the spill over the next decade. Not seen any info on what the ppm test the EPA has done in the water. They probably won't release that info to the public for years. Granted this derialment could of gone far, far worse. Since there was a fire caused by the derailment the first responders probably did the right thing in burning off what was already leaking.
