Haven't verified myself - maybe someone else can. Thanks.
The burn is controlled and the threat minimized. It has been on FOX
Thanks - I'm media-limited this am.

On the wires...
On Fox, it was reported a few minutes ago that there are several houses that have been totally burned to the ground...developing!
Local news is reporting that the fire is contained and the fumes are not harmful.
Yep, and a through investigation will be done, but Union Pacific was quick to point out that this was NOT a terror attack./snicker
This is the terrorist MO...stealing propane tankers and using them as a bomb.
Can you share where this statement was made by Union Pacific? Thanks.
That answered that. *sigh*

I found the above news story that claims 2 cars derailed due to the collision with another train and then hit a propane tank.
The only other thing I heard was that there were cars with some bad stuff, but they were never comprimised. (One was Chlorine, the other was Poly-something). I was not paying close attention and it did not sound to terrible. There was potential.
The Ferrelgas guy's GPS unit wasn't working right. They thought that's where the tank was supposed to be set.
On the air quotes: Who knew those steel bars where train tracks? We thought they was tank mounts.
That's a joke, right?
Hope that's true. When I heard propane tank being hit...I thought oh my. I had looked for more info and only found train hit a propane tank. Thanks.
joke...yeah. It was motivated by the poor accuracy of the original reports, which had the trains hitting a tank sitting on the tracks.
On the air quotes: Who knew those steel bars where train tracks? We thought they was tank mounts.
You've GOT to be kidding. Is this stupid or what? with employees like this who needs terrorist!!!
bttt
Are you trying to stress that a train and a propane truck have crashed in Texarkana, and that homes are being evacuated?
Uh, no Union Pacific did NOT make that announcement that is why i put /snicker after my remark. Sorry for the misunderstanding but everytime there is an incident that sounds like it's terror related like the OU student that blew himself up, before the investigation there was President of Oklahoma U Boren saying "It was a disgruntled kid, no terror link."
You're welcome.
"Hope that's true."
One never knows what is true...original reports are differing.
2 homes supposedly burned. Not sure of the latest.
Where's FEMA!!!!! It's been two whole days!!!!! Bunch of whiners...
