Three Train Collision in Lincoln, Alabama

Whoa, do we have our first suicide train wreck in Alabama?

According to all the local television news stations in Birmingham, THREE trains have collided near the new Honda Plant and Logan Martin Lake near Embry Crossroads along Interstate 20 between Birmingham and Atlanta, south of Oxford and Anniston. Is it really possible for three trains to collide?

Information is obviously sketchy at this point, and the local TV folks are scrambling all over themselves to get information and correct bad information. They must not have any other news, because this story has taken over ALL the newscasts. Even the weather teams are getting in on it to project the northward direction of the wind.

They are insinuating that chemicals, possibly sodium cyanide, may be on the train and say an evacuation has been ordered for a one-mile radius. The problem is, residents of a trailer park in the area are trapped on a dead-end road with no other way out and can't evacuate. They have been instructed to "shelter in place."

Comments

From what I heard you could see the fireball from the interstate in Pell City. At 8 o'clock both lanes of the interstate seemed to be operating normally.
