I'm wondering if it's because the water used in these plants are around sparks from the fabrication process. The explosive chemicals in the water from the train explosion could be creating a fire hazard when lots of sparks are flying. Just a thought.
IMHO, it's highly unlikely, since Bedford is NW and upsteam from the derailment and Cleveland isn't part of Ohio River drainage basin. The burned VC blew NE to SE then SW to NE and then finally W to E. The depositing of contaminants in the plume dissipates the further it travels. Pittsburgh is, as you probably know, known for steel manufacturing. If any place, Pittsburgh being 39 miles SE of East Palestine and in the direct path of the plume, would have experienced similar to Cleveland and Bedford if your theory was correct. Not so.... There is 'something' else going on.... It's obvious by this map showing processing plant fires and explosions throughout the world, the US is at war. I believe this to be acts of sabotage.
Water is not safe with molten metals. Physical contact will result in steam and a "boiler" explosion. Or, physical contact with certain metals (e.g., lithium, aluminum, zirconium) will result in the metals combusting with the water, liberating hydrogen gas, which can then explode. So, why do they use water for cooling? Nothing else is more effective or safer or as inexpensive.
