A train car carrying roughly 30,000 gallons of propane was among six that derailed in Florida Tuesday in a scene first responders compared to a “minefield.”
The six train cars fell off the tracks as a Seminole Gulf Railway train rode through Sarasota County, News Channel 8 WFLA reported.

“It looks like a minefield, honestly,” Southern Manatee Fire Rescue Chief Robert Bounds told the local NBC affiliate station. “The cars are on their side. [The train] was in motion when it happened, so it wasn’t just a tip-over, they really dug in and the tracks are pulled up and torn up.”

All by design
Eco-terrorism.
Looks like a minefield? I don’t think the Chief thought that analogy through very well.
At any rate, I would expect the local Florida Men will have descended on the wreckage and absconded with most of that propane by dawn.
So another train has detailed. Quick, somebody notify Transportation Secretary Buttigieg so he can go into hiding for two weeks.
Buttigeg (Pot Hole Pete) will be all over this as usual.
Ha! Not detailed in my post #5, but derailed.
Darn hackers must have messed with my FR posts yet again.
I notice the tanks aren’t burning. From East Palestine I thought SOP was to immediately set these tanks ablaze before something dangerous like an explosion occurs.
Surely this one can be blamed on Trump. They got him now, by golly!
The walls are closing in.
No escape for him on this one!
No Hank Hill jokes?
Well, since you asked…
They’re going to be blaming DeSantis
Expect it
Apparently in Manatee County:

Propane wants to be a flammable gas - no chemical toxicity likely.
Drivin’ that train
High on Propane
Probably was a deadhead.
“..Buttigeg (Pot Hole Pete) will be all over this as usual....”
The only thing ButtJuggs is “all over” is certain parts of his husband’s anatomy.....
“somebody notify Transportation Secretary Buttigieg so he can go into hiding for two weeks”
The railroads might start refusing to haul hazardous cargo. That would devastate our domestic chemical industry.
