Don't leave your home.
Something probably will happen to you outside.
If it does, then remember I warned you and only blame your own stupidity.
Your post transcends any stupidity on my part. LOL
Impossible.
Only the most dimwittted partisan would use every accident to promote a political agenda
you think it was an accidentEveryone who ISN'T a rw'er knew it was going to happen.
It wasn't t a matter of "if" but "when" con boi.
The stupid make the internets entertaining.
Concede the debate so soon? 
Why do you love it?? it takes some kind of twisted to find pleasure in this.
b/c you're a demented low life that takes pleasure in humans suffering.
Pleasure in human suffering caused by stupid humans doing stupid things they were warned against????? Most definitely...it's called "schadenfreude".
So suffering and misery of your fellows Americans is something you love.
Is the nature being killed off just another plus, or is the human suffering enough for you?
It's not about me..lackey boy.
The number of rail oil tanker spills is on the rise. 112 in two years. Latest one was in Minnesota last week. Accidents happen. I don't know what solutions are out there. Tougher financial penalties?
On Wednesday, a train carrying Canadian crude derailed in Minnesota, spilling 15,000 gallons of oil.

15000 gallons of oil huh?
What % of the total amount of oil transported does that amout to?
Probably something in the hundredths of thousandths of a pct. Not the point, however. The point is o% is attainable from "internal" quality issues.
The reason there are any spills from cut-price construction and maintenance is repairs are cheaper than penalties. Inspectors mitigate damage and so double or triple costs of small spills to taxpayers.
The obvious solution is severe penalties for leaks above some reasonable minimum. Once the costs of spills from internal quality fails are unsupportable, spills of that nature of any size will stop.
THIS is one of the main reasons the tarsands pipeline was opposed and now the Righties are saying "don't you feel empathy for what happened to those poor souls who live by the leak/contaminated area?"
Gotta love it.
Arkansas residents evacuate as Exxon-Mobil tar sands pipeline ruptures | The Raw Story
An Exxon-Mobil oil pipeline ruptured Friday afternoon in the town of Mayflower, Arkansas, forcing the evacuation of 20 homes and shutting down sections of interstate highway. According to Little Rocks KATV, a hazardous materials team from the Office of Emergency Management has contained the spill and is currently attempting a cleanup.
The burst pipe is part of the Pegasus pipeline network, which connects tar sands along the Gulf coast to refineries in Houston. Thousands of gallons of crude oil erupted from the breach around 3:00 p.m. on Friday, spilling through a housing subdivision and into the towns storm drainage system, fouling drainage ditches and shutting down Highway 365 and Interstate 40.
Residents were evacuated to avoid health hazards from crude oil fumes and to keep stray sparks from igniting the standing oil. Emergency workers contained the spill by hastily constructing earthen dams.
Liberals truly are a sick bunch.
So?
Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
It's a minor thing and quite rare actually.
Yeah..rare and minor..
This week marks the two-year anniversary of the massive Kalamazoo River pipeline spill. The event looks very different now than it did in 2010, when authorities openly worried that the Michigan mess would ooze tar sands oil into the Great Lakes. While there is still work underway to sop up the spill, it already stands as the longest and costliest pipeline cleanup in American history. And the ongoing investigations have given us a clearer and more frustrating view of the disaster, making it clear to anyone looking that our growing affinity for Canadas bottom-of-the-barrel unconventional tar sands oil is unsafe on a variety of levels.
In Michigan, the EPA has spent the last two years writing the book on what a tar sands cleanup looks like in an American river. While the disaster was unfolding, the CEO of Enbridge was on-hand, but did not bother to tell authorities that they should consider some alternative cleanup techniques to deal with the heavier-than-water bitumen slurping out of his busted pipe. As a result, the cleanup was largely focused on skimming oil off the surface initially. Later, officials realized that a wide swath of the river bottom was mucked with tar sands oil globules, as were sensitive wetlands along the waterway. The cleanup has focused on those areas since and recent press reports imply that even though most of the oil is gone, some of those submerged globules are continuing to spread.

If your sewerline backed up and shit from your neighborhood filled your bathtub and kitchen sink would you care what percentage of shit in all the toilets in your town ended up in your house?
According to the Arkansas Times the spill could have been much worse:
the break was in the same Exxon Mobil 20-inch pipeline that carries Canadian crude to Texas refineries across 13 miles of the Lake Mamelle watershed and crosses the Maumelle River at three places.
Had the spill occurred on either Lake Maumelle or the Maumelle River, this would have been a huge disaster for Arkansas.

Stiff penalties and I mean really stiff penalties have proven time and time again to be the most effective way of beating back the bean counters who cheap out on construction and/ or maintenance leading to a failure in any business not just the oil industry.
Of course "act of God" accidents that cause a leak or a spill wouldn't fall under a penalty clause (minor earthquake, tornado damage etc), but if it can be proven that negligence occurred causing a leak or spill then the fine should be mega hefty.
