Years ago in Freeport TX , I saw a rail car of propylene oxide explode Out at Dow Chemical. I was over 8 miles away and it broke the plate windows of the building I was standing by.. and the cloud that went up was just like the mushroom cloud of a nuke. ( not as high but same shape and all ) ------------------------- It was caused by a reaction inside the tank car They had some warning, & pushed it off on a side track and away from other cars and were trying to cool it down, ( they never even found any of the body parts of those at the scene ) ------------------- Watch out for any Chemicals that end with oxide, they can make their own oxygen. <g>
