Trains routinely carry toxic substances all around the country. There are all sorts of hazardous materials regulations for it. I think it's the Department of the Interior that deals with that type of thing. Maybe the Bureau of Explosives and Hazardous Materials. Interstate Commerce Commission. And I'm sure the EPA has their own red tape to be dealt with.
You might try starting with some of those.
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I'm getting the impression that people are thinking that it's somehow sketchy that a train was hauling such a large load of toxic substances.
It's not. It's the main way toxic and hazardous materials are transported around the country. We certainly don't want the highways jam packed with tanker trucks full of all that crap, waiting to get hit by some idiot driver.
Well the alternatives are shipping and trucking hazmat materials. And it is very rare to transport hazmat materials via the air.
Yes, I know.
That is good.
What is concerning though is the lack of urgency to clean up the disaster area.
Is there a lack of urgency? What are we basing that on? A lack of reporting by MSM?
But looking into this particular load and who ordered it can prove a lot. The OKC bomb started with a large order of fertilizer. That in itself is not uncommon but connecting all the dots tell a different story and conclusion or...collusion.
