How many more of these train derailments are we going to have to see before we start asking the question is this sabotage? Are left wing terrorist, China, Russia or others sabotaging our trains? Never in my life have I heard about so many train derailments. But there is one common factor with these derailments. Unlike ones of the past, these derailments are all either carrying highly toxic or flammable chemicals. This one forced an evacuation in Minnesota (the red part of the state).
More than a dozen rail cars on a BNSF train derailed near Raymond, Minnesota, early Thursday, with several derailed tankers carrying ethanol starting on fire.
BNSF told FOX 9 approximately 22 rail cars derailed at 1:02 a.m. The Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office says the train was carrying ethanol and corn syrup liquid. Numerous rail cars were engulfed in flames.
The EPA Great Lakes tweeted four cars containing ethanol, which is a highly flammable product, ruptured, caught fire and continue to burn.
