    This is a smaller version of the Missisauga (suburb of Toronto) train disaster of 1979 where a train carrying toxic chemicals, including chlorine, derailed and exploded.

    Over 200,000 were evacuated. Second largest evacuation after Katrina.

    No one died.

    I remember that. Disrupted a trip I was going to take with my mother to Square One!

    Sirs, Madames,

    Drove by the scene in York Norte del Fuego Monday a.m. ... I thought there'd still be some smouldering. Nothing much from what I could see. The asbestos is going to be the big hassle I'll bet. I just had an old oil furnace pulled out -- I can't imagine hundreds of times that much asbestos raining down on the nearby houses. Everyone is going to be wearing masks around the house like American Olympian cyclists.

    YD&OHS, etc
