Train Delrailment

Anyone else worried about this?  Not a whole lot of coverage on it.  I would think a few ethonal tankers in the Mississippi would be a bit of a story.

Nope. If it was going to be a big problen it would be all over national news by now and be on every channel. Think they said last night that there will be little to no environmental impact and it will evaporate off the water in 20-30 days... Before it hits the gulf.

The fish caught in the immediate area won't be needing any beer in the beer batter mix when you go to fry them up! :o

If it was oil yes, ethonal degrades and is non toxic. You might not know this, but some of the ethanol plants that make the fuel you burn in a car also make alcohol that you drink. This wont make national news, because there isnt a gloom and doom story in it.
