It’s genuinely frustrating. I’m honestly confused by who is forging the narrative that trains I guess, don’t transport things? Or they shouldn’t be? Weird stuff going on with this narrative.
It's one of the last few bastions of common sense, rational thought and logical analysis left on the internet. Literally everything can be questioned, if you do it in a non-douchey manner.
Well, that's obviously my problem. I'm socially awkward and don't come over well online. I forget how much tone of voice and expression matter in communication.
If you live around a nuclear power plant, yes. Then you should be worried about that. Fortunately the government actually does take that form of specific hazmat, extremely seriously. We’re talking armed military escort in the middle of the night serious. Again, I’m glad people are learning about this stuff.
I think this is a bigger factor than many people realize. Lots of people, even Anons, just don't know things like railways transporting hazardous and toxic waste around the country.
So when something like this (The OH train wreck) happens, it freaks them out. And then they start doing research and find another train wreck! And another! And another!
So they think that, because this information is new to them, the scenario itself is new. And that's where the "The DS is trying to kill us all with toxic waste train wrecks but now we're on to them!" mindset comes into play.
Nevermind 100+ years of documented history on railroads transporting hazardous materials and train wrecks carrying hazardous material wrecking and causing big problems. Because that doesn't fit the current narrative, you see.
But if you point that out, and try to be objective and logical, then you get called a shill. 🤷♀️
Just goes to show that anons get just as complacent as normies. Anons fall into the same thought patterns as radical lefties (purity tests), as well. Really, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard, always.
Nuclear waste isn't transported under military armed guard in the middle of the night. However it is true that there is a formal and regulated process on how it is done.
Perhaps they did away with it or it’s much less overt than it used to be. But I’ve sure seen it with my own eyes on the freeway many years back. Either way, point standing as you said, it’s taken more serious than regular ol’ hazmat
Nuclear waste is a broad term and the type categorized as endangerment to public health and safety isn't transported over rail cars. Over the road methods are very formal and regulated process with safe guards in place making it the most tested and full proof transportation conditions for containment against a release.
Nuclear waste is usually stored on site in heavy metal containers which prevent leakage.
Fukushima is possibly still contaminating, but that was either an attack using tinfoil tier means or just a woefully under engineered plant.
Chernobyl still has a mass of "hot" material that will be able to instantly kill you for a very long time.
The long haired nerd Kyle Hill has some pretty good videos on Chernobyl in particular, with a lot of good -- and modern -- information on what happened and what is happening there.
The Chernobyl elephant's foot is one of the scariest things I've ever seen. There are also videos on alternative sites of a guy that went around doing early versions of TED Talks about how radiological material isn't instantly deadly to us. I don't know the guy's name though.
Fukushima was a by product of the known deficiencies to a gen 1 Westinghouse type, reactor configuration.
Also nuclear waste dependant on, type and category, is transported across country all the time. Only certain assessed types are stored on site in non permanent approved containers, which unfortunately have degraded and leaked contents in several cases.

People don't like those who don't just fall into step with whatever the narrative here is currently.
We're supposed to "question everything". Except here.
For God's sake. Do NOT question anything here. Because, shill.
🙄
LOL I question things here all the time.

Well, you did just fine right there. ↑ That's a good start
If self-awareness were easy, everyone would have it :)

As far as I understood, if you were able to touch the elephant's foot you would die within minutes. That's FAIRLY instant!

I just said this when I said "under engineered".
I said "usually"
Then they cheaped out on the containers and probably used Chinese materials, because they're supposed to be built to stand the test of time.
