I'm about 5 minutes from this whole ordeal. Is there anyone here affected by the spill? Luckily I didn't have to evacuate.

I took these driving past the airport and Alcoa Wally World tonight:

It's behind the airport. A train car carrying a load of acrylonitrile crashed, and the falling rain and heat from the train on fire caused hydrolysis and created gaseous HCN that was released into the air all day yesterday. They evac'd several thousand people and tried to take care of them and their pets. There was literally cyanide in the air.

That's really comforting, lol.  Cousin lives a few miles from the area but didn't get the evac.  I'd hate for anyone to come knocking on their door at 1am, considering the last guy left bleeding.
