NS train hits a truck and causes a huge derailment with loaded oil tankcars in the Allengheny River sorta near Calvin's place. A situation thats

going to take some time to cleanup. Blame MIR.

 Maybe blame the truck driver?  Those guys are supposed to be "professional" but they are some of the biggest idiots on the Highway.

 Calvin adds:

From the drone shots and reports it was a construction dump truck (Big 6 wheel) that got hit.

Was this a construction zone that should have had a Flag/Employee in charge? (Or was there 

a work authority going on?) I couldn't see how they were saying no hazmats were spilled, and 

then sometime last nite they found out an engine on its side is going to leak copius amounts of

diesel. Seig Hale PA DER!!

They shut down all river intakes of water all the way tu Pittsburgh. All activities planned on/around

the river for the Memorial day observance have been affected.

I wish they would have shown what's behind that second Big Boy truck in the drone footage that shows the Schitt Treat Mint Plant. It looks like they may be putting in a force main tu the plant along the R-O-W. It doesn't explain much about what got that (probably) Volvo in front of the train.

MIR effects truck drivers too. Poor judgement or guessed wrong or something went wrong and in
this "case of MIR" its a double whammy causing a train derailment and maybe a triple whammy
by closing important river traffic for days which would be "MIR for river traffic". Huge trickle down
effect on everything.
