From the London Daily Mail:
Train carrying more than 30,000 gallons of propane fuel derails in Florida - Hazmat crews rush to the scene after six cars overturn
-
- A train carrying more than 30,0000 gallons of propane fuel has derailed near a homeless camp in Florida
- Five cars were carrying sheetrock, while one of the overturned cars was carrying propane
- There is no indication at this time that any of the fuel is leaking, but hazmat teams are monitoring the situation
As a note, the 30,000 gallons is the capacity of one railroad tank car. Five cars with sheetrock derailed and one car with propane derailed. There was a second car with propane and it jumped the track but it stayed upright. Propane is pretty chemically benign so not as bad as the Palestine spill.
