Speculation? Could this be a set up for some type of false flag?
Ya, the amounts of methyl ethyl bad stuff traveling by rail makes a box car load of fertilizer look about as dangerous as a load of ping pong balls. 2 rail cars one with hydrogen peroxide and the other with Isopropyl alcohol exploded in a collision on the edge of Helena, Montana in 1989. Luckily it was early in the morning and cold so most people were home. It knocked out power to the whole city while the temperature was -32f and cause an evacuation of 2 sq miles. Among other things a set of axles off a rail car traveled quite a distance before landing in the college library which was thankfully empty at the time.
At the time Helena was only around 20,000.
We have railcars with Anhydrous Ammonia rolling though town, same with liquid Sulfur, any number of bad agents not to mention oil cars. A friend of mine is an engineer, when asked about the current spate of derailments he shrugged and said "Happens all the time, you can't expect the lines to maintain themselves, lack of railway maintenance is what is causing this problem."
Yeah, and we all know where that "buck stops" - or at least where it is SUPPOSED to stop.
Accountability seems to be an out-dated concept these days.![]()
Much of the Western world seems to be incapable of maintaining its infrastructure to the proper standard. Collapsing sewers, major highways so potholed they are all but unusable, flaky power transmission systems, they are all things you can read about in other developed countries.
