Train carrying LPG derails in Alberta; Canadian National defends safety record
The difference is CN has the resources to deal with all the problems like this. CN like any large company also has spokespersons trained on disaster communications. And many of them also speak French. When you communicate effectively at the becoming of a mess it makes all the difference in the world.
Waiting to see if CN gets crucified like MM&A did after the crude oil train derailment on its rails.
CN did not incinerate 47 people in this incident.
CN should have, in the aftermath of the Lac Megantic disaster, been ultra-careful with any shipments of either crude or explosive gases. CN is committed to running a safe railroad, but is even more committed to running one at a big profit. When those commitments collide, which one wins out? This report is now a week old. How about an update, Trains?
Where are all the libs complaining about the CO2 created when that propane was burned, not to mention the H20 (a gas with a far greater greenhouse effect than C02).
