Reply to comment by 10thDoctorHairGel in As crews remove contaminated soil and liquid from Ohio toxic train wreck site, concerns emerge about where it's going. by ILikeTalkn2Myself

My concern is how it's getting there and the communities on the route. My understanding is that it's being trucked. Truck crashes are not unheard of, probably more frequent than train derailments.

A crash of the soil would be much different that the chemicals themselves. A much lower level problem. Getting all the soil is not too hard, getting liquid chemicals that just go straight down in the ground is much harder.

Hate to inform you, but there's a lot worse stuff being shipped on our roads every day than this. But that's what DOT regulations are for
