This is unbelievable. I've worked in industry all my life and I just can't believe what they did there. In the old days people did stuff like that, burn or spill toxic waste, a quick fix. You don't do that anymore, you get fired - IMMEDIATELY, likely a giant fine for you and your employer, and likely go to jail. This is just crazy. You NEVER burn toxic spills. First thing is always containment, pump into hazardous waste barrels or a tanker trucks for proper disposal. What can't be pumped must be trenched and then pumped or absorbed with special fabrics and then binned for safe disposal at an approved facility. And everything else must be localized with containment dikes. These cowboys broke every rule in the book.
Burning just takes a basic chemical, like vinyl chloride and changes it into a dozen or more worse toxins which then rain down over a wide area. It's in the nature of the carbon double bond. No reputable hazardous waste expert would even consider that option. Who is this corrupt Republican Governor? RINO/UNI-Party? Where's the EPA? Where's the chemical sample analysis, it doesn't take weeks, should be available in days.
Here is a copy of a text sent to me by my cousin. David is our cousin and he is a retired VP from a company that makes lubricants.
“David is a chemical engineer familiar with PVC. He insists that all they needed to do was keep the car cool by spraying it with water. The contents were going through a reaction that would have resulted in hardened plastic. Then simply dispose of the train car. Blowing it was the worst possible thing to do.
There is a national number to call for any chemical event, staffed by experts. They never called.”
