EPA: Illinois oil train derailment threatens Mississippi River
An oil train derailment and spill in northwest Illinois poses an “imminent and substantial danger” of contaminating the Mississippi River, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Saturday.
The spill from the derailment, which occurred Thursday, also threatens the Galena River, a tributary of the Mississippi, and the Upper Mississippi National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, one of the most complex ecosystems in North America.
Train carrying crude oil derails near Gogama, Ont.
This is the 4th train derailment in northern Ontario this year
...Police said the train was 30 to 40 cars in length and 10 cars went off the track four kilometres northwest of Gogama, Ont. There were no reports of injuries.
Some of the rail cars that caught fire entered the Mattagami River System, CN and police said.
Occasionally severe damage to our homes and environments are the price we must pay for an oil-based economy. We seem to be willing to do so, as a society, yet most "spills"/"accidents" receive little, if any, news coverage.
