hiss boom bah



not quite done farting

Deep in the heart of darkest America, home of the brave, you'll find the ever-so-lovely town of Cincinnati, Ohio. A town where, for the past two days, the populace has been transfixed by a hissing, bubbling, boiling tanker car full of noxious chemicals

Nine months ago or so, a railroad tanker car full of Styrene was casually left inside the city limits. The tanker car had been enroute to a storage facility, but somehow lost its way. Five months ago, the additive used to stabilize the Styrene inside the tanker expired. Now, the car is venting heated Styrene into the area and a town is waiting for the fire works

Two days of evacuations, round the clock coverage and disrupted traffic patterns. The best part? The future defendant in the anticipated class action lawsuit is based in Louisiana. So at the same time the company has to deal with Kristina, it'll have to deal with Cincinnati
