Another accident on a railroad carrying oil tankers


This one was in West Virginia on Monday. A train carrying more than 100 tankers of crude oil derailed in a snowstorm. Fifteen or so tankers caught fire or exploded. One tanker went into the river. A fireball was blasted into the sky. The water supply of nearby residents was threatened; two water treatment plants were closed. Hundreds of families were evacuated.
