Yet another train carrying “hazardous materials” has derailed in Montgomery, Texas, which has prompted Union Pacific to monitor air quality at the site of the crash, while evacuations are underway in Tucson, Arizona, after a semi truck carrying hazardous materials tipped over.
“A train has derailed in Splendora, to the north-east of Houston in Texas, just days after a cargo train went off the tracks in Ohio.
According to a statement by the Splendora Police Department released late last night, officers were alerted to a crash between the train and an 18-wheel truck. Police attended and found the driver of the truck deceased.
‘Union Pacific is currently on scene, along with multiple state and federal agencies’, it added.
Police told local media that a hazardous materials team from Union Pacific, which operates the railway, were on site as a precaution. A company spokesperson told Houston Public Media that around 100 gallons of diesel fuel had been released by the truck.
A Union Pacific spokesperson told Newsweek that the tractor-trailer released diesel and oil, adding that the train crew had not been injured in the incident.
Lieutenant Troy Teller, Splendora Police's spokesperson, said that there were ‘no major chemicals to be concerned about’, adding that the chemicals on board were household chemicals for retail. He noted that 21 cars had been derailed.
Whether the chemicals were on the train or the truck remains unclear. Newsweek has contacted Teller for comment. The Union Pacific spokesperson indicated only diesel and oil had leaked from the truck.
In a further update on Monday evening, the Splendora Police Department said access to the nearby town of Midline remained cut off because of the crash. It added that Union Pacific staff were working ‘diligently’ to restore access.
Teller told HPM that several feet of track had been damaged and would need replacing.
The exact circumstances of the crash have yet to be determined. The crossing at which the crash occurred had no crossing arms, just a yield sign, Teller said.
The accidents occurred just days after a cargo train went off the tracks in Ohio causing toxic chemicals to be released.
On February 3rd, a Norfolk Southern train of around 150 cars derailed near the town of East Palestine; 20 cars carried hazardous materials. The derailment caused a huge fire.
After seeing a sudden spike in the internal temperature of some of the cars, emergency responders bled vinyl chloride from five cars and burnt it off to avert an explosion of shrapnel and toxic gases.
They warned, however, that it would send toxic gases phosgene—used during World War I—and hydrogen chloride into the atmosphere. Environmental Protection Agency officials have since found three other toxic chemicals in the surrounding soil, air and water.
Residents have been allowed to return to their homes, but some have complained of symptoms of exposure". -Aleks Phillips, Newsweek
“A hazmat team has responded to an incident on Interstate 10 near Tucson, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
A tanker truck flipped and is leaking a hazardous substance onto the highway between Kolb and Rita roads, officials said.
According to the Department of Public Safety, hazardous material has been identified as nitric acid and a shelter-in-place for a one mile radius has been issued.
I-10 is closed in both directions near the incident, according to the City of Tucson.
According to ADOT, the Tucson Fire Hazmat Team is working with the Department of Public Safety to contain the situation.
Everyone is being asked to avoid the area and seek an alternative route.
I-10 is expected to be closed for an extended period of time.
The AZDPS Hazardous Materials Response Unit along with Tucson Fire Department, Tucson Police Department, Pima County Sheriff's Department and Marana Police Department are working together to mitigate the incident.
According to ADOT first responders are working to evacuate a perimeter around the area of the incident”. -Jolyn Hannah, 12News
There’s no way to safely assume that government stupidity is responsible for the various toxic train derailments in Texas, Arizona, and East Palestine, Ohio.
And, now that members of the Romanian senate have publicly stated that the deadly earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria were the result of an attack by a United States geoweapon, the suggestion that the U.S. military is actively engaged in crimes against humanity, including the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, along with the toxic train derailments throughout America, seem rather practical.
“Turkey is the second great power from a military point of view within NATO. His position to block Sweden’s accession to NATO, his speech in Davos, as well as the gesture of leaving in the middle of the press conference, defying Schwab, did not remain without an echo in the cold world of leaders the world. But, no one thought that people would have to die, so many people, and in such a terrible way. And it’s just a warning, because it wasn’t the most populated area of Turkey.
150 aftershocks of a devastating earthquake, the second larger than the first, without the existence of an epicenter, the area being artificially stimulated, geological weapons having existed for a very long time, being used so far without causing too many casualties, probably for experiments. Now, it has been put into practice. If we look carefully at the map of Turkey, we will see that it is furrowed by gas and oil pipelines, this being actually one of the goals: their destruction. But, 10 seconds before the occurrence of the so-called earthquake, the Turks closed these pipelines. In addition, 24 hours before the earthquake, 10 countries withdrew their ambassadors from Turkey. 5 days before its occurrence, the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a travel warning for Romanian citizens in Turkey, although there was no danger, as did other countries. By killing people, they served their interests. The maps shown on all the television channels show that there was no epicenter, but a line with thousands of earthquakes.
The Turkish secret services are investigating a possible criminal intervention, (read an involvement of another state in triggering the first earthquake), what followed later being a chain reaction after the destabilization of the tectonic plates in the region”. -Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit
Another instance where seemingly ludicrous conspiracy theory has proven more realistic than anyone had hoped.
