Got your attention didn't it?

I just thought it was interesting that when a railroad has a derailment everyone screams about death and destruction from hazardous waste (warranted or not). When a truck loses some drums of the bad stuff on an LA freeway it hardly warrants two paragraphs in a traffic report.
Notably absent - Reporters spewing wild speculation about the contents of the drums, number of deaths, damage to the enviroment, lawsuits, and so on.
Also notably absent - Residents who maintained for years that the speed and frequency of the trucks on the freeway are directly responsibly for the accident.
