Even if the calculations in this lawsuit are half correct, that’s a BIG number.

I guess my question would be, what was actually released if it was burned? If the product was burned and assuming (like so much else has been) 99% of it was actually burned. What was in the actual smoke emitted into the environment?

Any lawsuit at this time is from scumbag ambulance chasing lawyers. It’s way too soon to know what or if any damages people or the environment may suffer. These law suits are lawyers wanting to be first, hoping for big contingency fees.

Exactly….. We both have friends living in the area of the derailment. I want them too get every penny and care that’s they need. But I also want what they’ll need 5-10-20 years down the road. Who knows what that’ll be.

Little Beaver creek is a state wild and scenic river, which isn't an easy desination to achieve. Truly catastrophic all the way around, both human and environment. It may be years before all questions are answered. I'll say this much, I don't trust the government or mega corporations either one in this situation.

Which is why the lawsuit figures will be very, very large. There is no instant answer to any of this.

As for what was in the smoke, I’m sure it wasn’t unicorn farts and rainbow dust which everybody knows are harmless.
