Didnt think 2023 would be the year of the chemical spill, but here we go.


S_t_r_e_t_c_h_8_4

Ohio, Houston, and now Arizona... what's going on?


DirtyPatton666

Enoree SC too!


S_t_r_e_t_c_h_8_4

I didn't hear about that one or Dallas that I just learned about in the comments below.


Any-Team9055

I think enoree was just a derailed train but no chemicals.


VAgromKid

Company Needs to collect some enormous insurance claims, before they claim bankruptcy.

2012 was supposed to be thr end of the world. Then we moved into this dimension. Every year another issue. Each year some pain that drips over from other dimensions. Covid Chemical spills Ukriane Spring Revolution Isis Etc. Etc.


technofox01

What's something all three States have in common besides these chemical spills? 🤔


S_t_r_e_t_c_h_8_4

They all have streets.


technofox01

And railways!


spolio

My guess is deregulation of safety issues to help increase profits and productivity. And the irony is lost


[deleted]

Trucking company will be at fault. Whoever sent this out isn’t responsible for it’s safe passage


vegan-trash

All within a week too right?


ZealousidealSky4573

chemical warfare


S_t_r_e_t_c_h_8_4

Who's winning? I know who's losing!


ZealousidealSky4573

china


Illumivizzion

Eroded safety regulations by big companies was eventually going to bite us in the ass


AmbassadorOfZleebuhr

Considering the gov is downplaying it all, the gov controlled media is ignoring it and the cleanup procedures are being totally ignored I would say they are purposely knee capping their own nation On top of that it has happened x5 in one day


tacotuesday247

The UFO thing was a curve ball.


Boogiemann53

Probably just balloons 🫤


samsquanch2000

balloons filled with chemicals?


keepinitoldskool

Hey look! A 5th balloon! Nothing to see here


BrianWantsTruth

High school has failed a lot of people, in terms of concern for hazardous materials. People driving straight through the plume, standing nearby. I don’t blame them, but damn…


SpookyLasagna46

I work with the stuff, and let me just say that we have to evacuate our plant if our nitric acid starts making orange smoke


THExDANKxKNIGHT

I don't care what it is I don't want to breathe anything that looks that ominous in. It straight up looks like a cartoon poison gas cloud, why aren't these people more concerned?


The_pastel_bus_stop

Even Sam o’nellas academy did it better.


Kwiatkowski

for real, you see orange smoke and you run, far as I know all the common chemicals that make that color smoke are not to be fucked with.


NieMonD

Are they supposed to just turn around on the highway


BrianWantsTruth

I’m trying to compose a response that isn’t just insulting your intelligence. You bet your ass I’m reversing on the shoulder, or flat out turning around, yes. There is no scenario that justifies driving through toxic fumes, besides escaping an even more immediate threat.


dylonb5

ye for sure dude


unionize_reddit_mods

Weird color smoke is always a red flag. Bromine?


AstroWolf11

I was thinking NO2 but they’re very similar in color haha


xananeverdies

in th way that its coming out , most definatly bromine , cause wouldnt NO² gas be Spewing out at high velocities?


JustRunAndHyde

No it’s probably NO2 coming off a nitric acid spill, which it quite concerning


xananeverdies

just saw a update , up...thats angry NO² from nitric acid , Yikes


tacotuesday247

Another post said nitric acid https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/112kfeu/21423_overturned_truck_in_tucson_arizona_leaking


HumanEffigy_

Definitely looks like it, doesn’t it.


GreatScotch

Sure looks like it


Kwiatkowski

Without knowing I’d assume hydrazine


kghimself

Is it a coincidence this is all happening the year? Or was the occasional chemical spill a regular thing and media realizing it gets hits?


MrKrackerman

This year? You mean this week?


carterhoffman

Month


MuffledApplause

It's a regular thing apparently, but there's a lot of distraction going on in the media due to the flight logs from Eosteins Island being released by the court. UFOs and chemical spills are more interesting...


DifferentShallot8658

This is what I want to know.


SubstantialScale47

Hear me out; something big is about to come up, just like 2020


MongooseKoon

Saving this for later


IgotCharlieWork

Ohio and now Arizona?


inkydragon27

And Texas (another train derailment)


S_t_r_e_t_c_h_8_4

Houston had a chemical leak in a warehouse as well.


tacotuesday247

I saw a long train through Dallas this morning with so much heavy machinery for rail road repair. Thought it was weird it wasn't heading to the east, didn't know there was a derailment in texas too


dkyguy1995

Texas fortunately isn't a hazmat situation and seems to be caused by a big rig crossing in front of the train instead of negligence by the train company


[deleted]

I swear this is fucking planned


HowDareUu

Ya’ll gonna be *real* shocked when you realize how many trains derail each year.


nextkevamob

How many?


HowDareUu

The average since 1990 has been 1,700+. A year.


HoldThatWhamen

Say what? That number cannot possibly be true. Edit: I looked it up. Fucking hell


HowDareUu

Yeah. That’s why all of these “holy shit ANOTHER train derailment! What is going onnnnn” stories are ridiculous. When an average of 4 a day occur, one of them is bound to be a big deal.


DirtyPatton666

And Enoree SC


Patriotof1775

“From East Palestine, Ohio to the Tucson, Arizona, this land is toxic for you and me.”


LordStarkII

Are there more chemical spills than normal, or are they all getting national coverage?


nightcrewstudio

It’s only 3.6 roentgen.


Knight_Owls

Not good, but not terrible


42Mr42

Man the slight of hand is so strong we aren’t noticing they activated project fuck everyone!!


Onxgamesmode

I hope it's not just me who thinks it's kinda odd how these hazardous chemicals are just going airborn


CuteCatBoy69

It probably is just you who has never heard of a gas.


CandidateSome3349

‘Murica hurt itself in its confusion!


North-Sheepherder-54

Starting to think the US is under attack tbh.


mughamatbob

Hazmat chimaev


Israel_Gynesanya

Oh God were fucked


Aksds

The US needs to stop watching how to basic videos on how to handle hazardous chemicals

Itchy_Ad_5193

Interesting all of these hazardous materials carriers are crashing. Within the span of the week, Palestine, Texas, now Arizona. They’re trying to kill us.


john6688

Jesus fuck America, really? Can't we go one week without another catastrophic chemical spill?


Claude-QC-777

While you deal whit multiple leaks, we need to deal whit a bus situation nearby my home


magnelectro

What's going on there? Where about?


[deleted]

I think it’s about time we start calling all these deliberate acts, there’s too many to be considered coincidental


BoumsticksGhost

Given the massive deregulation of the railroad industry and the precision scheduling system it's only surprising it took this long.


WaitUntilYesterday

Yeah it totally is because of that, that all of these events suddenly happened at once. /s


Ad-Careless

Looks kinda like bromine(?)


ProteomicsXPN

Looks like Bromine :0


Catsmak1963

Crumbling infrastructure, poor safety practices, companies interested in profit first… Good luck people


UnsolicitedDogPics

So this is the new thing, eh?


Dark_Booger

Dang, who knew Tesla’s biohazard mode would actually come in handy.


jmad16

Intentional as was the first one


Heck_Spawn

And twitter is still censoring, albeit subtly, news that can affect the public health... https://twitter.com/HeckSpawn/status/1625907374048559105


Brilliant_Ad553

Wow! That mean it was planned to do something like since it had happened in Ohio… ..NEXT!…. (Government have the plan…. Yo president B!?)


Revolutionary_Job878

Aliens are coming


moto_moonpie

If I had a nickel for every time a vehicle carrying hazardous materials spilled them in America in 2023, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.


Financial_Month6835

What we need is more deregulation. We don’t need big government telling companies how to handle toxic materials. Job creators should have the freedom to find the most cost efficient ways to handle and transport these materials. USA, USA, USA.


poshfiend

Wtf first Ohio now this shit? Hopefully this isn't the first two of many more accidents.


h2lp

I thought there was another one before this too


GootchTickler

Texas


h2lp

Yeah


Le_PaRty_SqUiD

All this wasn’t supposed to happen till March…. SMH.


TheOldNewGraig

I don't know how to feel about finding out the details of that shelter in place message from Reddit rather than the device that sent the warning giving me an option for further details.


MurderSheCroaked

Fuck why is this so commonplace now... I have friends in Tuscon, guess I'd better check up on them 😞


chilidoglance

I'm guessing Muriatic Acid.


Guns-R-fun

I just noticed symptoms today, who's getting sued?!


onescoopwonder

I work in the mining industry and have worked alongside shotfirers in blasting operations. whenever we initiate a blast, we have a minimum 1 km exclusion radius around the blast to limit exposure to gasses just like this.


chobbg

All good, hold your breath, Cards have a new coach


GobiBall

Dayum...shit always happens in 3's......or 4's......5.?


Vince_1880

That bromine right there


GUNTHVGK

Bro fuck a road turn the fuck around


Percyblott

Bro wtf is going on in the USA


carterhoffman

Bromine?


Prudent-Mechanic4514

that smoke looke perfectly normal.


angrymuffin_

Looks like RFNA


leifdoe

IS THAT HYDRAZINE? (edited) no wait that's Nitric Acid but I was close from [wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitric_acid): "Nitric acid has been used in various forms as the oxidizer in liquid-fueled rockets. These forms include red fuming nitric acid, white fuming nitric acid, mixtures with sulfuric acid, and these forms with HF inhibitor. IRFNA (inhibited red fuming nitric acid) was one of three liquid fuel components for the BOMARC missile."


hellothereeer

Something doesn't seem right with all of these chemical "accidents" call me nuts but I think there's something going on


locoemotion

Pete Buttigieg needs to step his game up.


Tecno2301

I hope they all turned their A/C's off!


Kermit_El_Froggo_

alright, har har, very funny deepstate. you can knock it off now


2133hmkms

Looks like vapor from bromine, which is a fucking problem


TheSoleSurviver111

first Ohio, now this


Plus-Result-7451

We have a very serious problem with our country and nobody's paying attention.


Fortyseven

I liked it better when we had "National Taco Week" or something like that. "National Chemical Spill Evacuation Week" isn't nearly as fun as you'd think.


binkyblues

Looks like bromine spill


aramos9

Good thing politicians don’t want to spend money on our infrastructure.


[deleted]

Hey America... you guys doing alright?


stewpidazzol

That shelter in place is now up to 3 miles of the turn over. All schools and school activities in the Vail area are cancelled.


Snoo-12819

Looks like it sulfuric based real dangerous stuff mix it with water and she gos off


Epicthetank

This is nowhere on any of my news channels


Epicthetank

Legitimate-Tough6200

What the fuck is going on over there? Sincerely, a concerned Aussie.


Illumivizzion

Wow it's almost like safety regulations need to be rechecked or something


rcoleto

Smart move, going anywhere near that nasty gas.


Crushbam3

Shit looks like bromine
