Does this also apply to all the toxic chemical spills and train derailments the last couple weeks?

Actually, yes. In the last 30 years, the US has averaged about 1,700 train derailments annually. Over the last decade, hazardous material releases as a result of derailment has averaged about 17 annually. That's about 1 every 3 weeks.
