@ProPublica The train that derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, was about twice the length *planned* to be approved in Germany.
While no sane human should ever make the idea come true to intentionally set fire to train cars carrying a load of vinyl chloride.

@glennf Thanks for that, Glenn.

Did you also find out, who paid Donald "Quid Pro Quo" Trump how much money for corruptly rolling back railway-safety regulations?

Remember the Trump-mantra: "What was in it for them?"

@Barbramon1 @GottaLaff Phosgene, the gas, that killed ~85,000 soldiers in World War I, & which was reportedly released on the recent East Palestine derailment, *reacts with water to release hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide*.
Adding to it: Phosgene is insoluble.

@FowlMammaTodd It’s crazy that there have been 500 news stories a day about balloons and UFOs but like 3 for #ohio turning into Bhopal. #phosgene #disaster

And another AP update today:
"Officials warned the controlled burn would send phosgene and hydrogen chloride into the air. Phosgene is a highly toxic, colorless gas with a strong odor that can cause vomiting and breathing trouble and was used as a weapon in World War I."
