You're not even suppose to be shipping that stuff around. It's very easy to make on site at any place that need it as industrial ingredient and SOP in China is just to ship its precursor chemical (calcium carbide, a relatively harmless solid, reacts with water) around and make it where ever you need it instead of shipping the vinyl chloride gas around.

You know why China made the decision to ship calcium carbide around instead of vinyl chloride? Precisely to avoid shit like this.

To make it even worse, the US averages ~1700 train derailments a year. Shipping volatile and dangerous chemicals by rail when the rail infrastructure is falling apart and extremely accident prone is just asking for disasters to happen.

1700 derailments a year? What the actual fuck? Has the FBI looked into the company that repairs and replaces all the damaged and destroyed rolling-stock from all these derailments? Because I can see 1700 motives per year for them to want to actively sabotage US rail infrastructure.

Sure they can, it’s America level fucked.

The entire western MSM shoving their collective heads in the sand and doing the 3 monkeys chant about this massive story says everything there ever needs to be said about how free and independent they all are.
We got a similar incident in eastern Canada. It was oil but more of the same... Company own private rails without repairs and private trains in bad conditions to make more money in their lifetime and screw everything else.
