BREAKING NEWS: Train carrying more than 30,000 gallons of propane fuel derails in Florida - Hazmat crews rush to the scene after six cars overturn

A train carrying more than 30,000 gallons of propane fuel has derailed near a homeless camp in Florida
Five cars were carrying sheetrock, while one of the overturned cars was carrying propane
There is no indication at this time that any of the fuel is leaking, but hazmat teams are monitoring the situation

A train carrying more than 30,000 gallons of propane fuel has derailed in Florida, sparking new environmental concerns just weeks after a toxic train overturned in Ohio.

Southern Manatee Fire Rescue Chief Robert Bounds said Tuesday afternoon that six Seminole Gulf railway cars fell off the tracks near a homeless camp at the Sarasota-Manatee County border.

Five of the cars were carrying sheetrock, while the sixth was carrying propane. Another train car that did not overturn was also transporting propane at the time, and jumped the track during the partial derailment, FOX 13 reports.

@Fairydust there is a group of individuals, real or bots, that want to turn everything into a grand conspiracy to destroy people. they live to make people angry, and to increase hatred. they really don't see the true patter in the train cases, that the industry is making huge profits and not investing in infrastructure. They say they want government to stay out of business, but then when something like this happens, blame government for not being strict enough. It is so sad that our society gets split further every day from their theories. Murdoch, the owner of Fox and more media, in sworn testimony admitted he knew that what his so called news anchors were saying was false, all lies, but he kept them going because the only color he was interested in was green.

@Fairydust This is just coming out. There are over 1,000 train accidents / derailments each year. That is a lot and you do not hear about all the spills of crude oil from these or other hazardous materials. The railroads have been a protected species since the late 1800's as they have had very good lobbyists buying off the our politicians. In 1990 Northern Border Pipeline wanted to put in a coal slurry pipeline that would have hauled coal to Texas from Canada, the coal was mainly for export but the water used to move the coal was needed in Texas as they go though many dry spells. The water would have been mostly snow melt water gathered in Canada, Montana, ND and SD. It was later proven that the Fed's did not allow the pipeline due to being bought off by the railroads. Northern Border Pipeline later won a lawsuit against the FED's and the railroads for over $300 Million because of the bribes. Railroads do not want someone cutting into their profits and that is one of the big reasons Keystone Pipeline was shot down by Biden and the liberal politicians. They were paid off by the railroads and that is why you see hundreds of train cars hauling oil through towns and along rivers today. Pipelines have proven to be a much safer means of moving toxic and non-toxic liquids and gases.
