Train cars fall into Mississippi after derailment
16 minutes ago

DRESBACH, Minn. (AP) — Authorities say an accident involving two freight trains has injured two people, set off a propane leak and caused some railroad cars to fall into the Mississippi River.

La Crescent Fire Chief Bernie Buehler says the accident happened about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday near Dresbach, at the southeastern corner of Minnesota.

Buehler says two railroad employees on the trains were injured.

The immediate area has been evacuated because the accident caused a propane leak at a switching station. Winona County Emergency Management spokesman Dave Belz says liquid ammonia is leaking from some cars, too, but isn't a public danger.

Buehler says one train had 100 cars, and the other had 15. Some of the cars ended up in the Mississippi River. Crews could see fewer than half of the cars left standing.

This may not be, but I don't believe the line "we haven't been hit since 9/11".

something tells me a derailment - with minimal injury - out in the middle of nowhere doesn't really make the kind of spectacular impression that ambitious international terrorists are looking for. what's next? root canal gone bad as sign of the apocalypse? seems like you're making some pretty big stretches here.

It depends on the chemicals that got dumped in the river IMO.
That river is the life's blood for many millions.

I have to keep my paranoia level at a certain depth. :D
