Here's an even bigger one that went off in the middle of a Canadian town.

They are rare events but when they go boom, your ear drums burst. Or so it appears.

The folks I was talking to are trainers/specialists in the oil safety industry. They think the trains are terrifying because they are rolling right through the middle of town.

But I take your point about the water supply. Neither choice is a good one!

Hi Cactus Flower,

Rachel Maddow showed an explosion on the rails & it is terrifying.

However, if this crude gets into the water system that will be even more destructive, long term.
