This was not an accident. This is genocide.
Oh, so you are good with a vinyl chloride explosion and poison cloud? Glad to know it. I guess we could have done that instead, and you would have had no complaint, right? All the deaths and cancers...
There was one way to minimize the damage and they took it. You don't seem to comprehend that it could have been worse---and that's what they were trying to avoid.
By the way, in my neck of the woods, we had a case of eco-terrorists using a "shunt" to derail a train (I think it was a coal shipment). So, I am not ignorant of the possibility of sabotage. But I have also seen a photo of a purported stretch of rail in Ohio and it looked like a bobby pin, so the railroad company is on the hook for the condition of the track, as well as the maintenance status of the rolling stock.
