Today’s [a[er reports a derailment on the line north of Beir Sheva. Two types of petroleum products were in international standard containers on the train. Two of the less volatal fell off the derailed flatcars. No liquid was spilled, and the containers were not breached.
Rumer is that sheep were crossing the tracks. A bus bridge was instituted between Kiryat Gat and Beir Sheva for passengers.
Saw this item and was curious if there was any reporting of it on line. found the following linked article in the Jerusalem Post @ http://www.jpost.com/National-News/Train-carrying-hazardous-materials-derails-in-Negev-326922

IMHO I found that the reporting seemed to be detailed and was interesting to see the way they reported the details. Seemed like a lot of information cloaking some “C.Y.A” , but not too different from the way that it is reported here. as well. [2c]
