Train hauling corrosive acid derails at Port of Oakland

A freight train carrying a corrosive chemical derailed at the Port of Oakland on Monday for unknown reasons, officials said.

Where’s No Coal In Oakland and The Sierra Club This Time? The Message: Hey, You Can Kill West Oaklanders With Dangerous Chemicals. We Don’t Care If Coal Is Safe. We’ll Take A Dangerous Chemical Over Coal.

Obviously, it’s OK for freight-haulers to bring dangerous chemicals through West Oakland. Wonder if No Coal In Oakland got any donations to look the other way? The Sierra Club’s so myopic, it’s webpage section on “toxics” only mentions mercury and in relation to, you guessed it, coal. No text about prohibiting nitric and phosphoric acids, which means they’re just peachy-keen with The Sierra Club.

From reports:

The hazardous materials unit of the Oakland Fire Department responded yesterday to an acid spill from a shipping container at the Port of Oakland.

As informed by the fire department, the 40-foot shipping container was leaking corrosive materials of HazMat 1, 2, 3, E3 types.

The container sprung a leak of about 100 gallons of a mix of nitric and phosphoric acids, according to the fire department.

However, the spill was small and was handled by the on-site crews that managed to prevent the leak from spreading.

There were no injuries reported.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
