A bridge that crosses the Yellowstone River in Montana collapsed early Saturday, plunging portions of a freight train carrying hazardous materials into the rushing water below. The train cars were carrying hot asphalt and molten sulfur, Stillwater County Disaster and Emergency Services said. Officials shut down drinking water intakes downstream while they evaluated the danger after the 6 a.m. accident.
Nationalize it
It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.
The richest country on earth can’t even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What’s standing in their way?[…]no immediate danger for the crews working at the site, and the hazardous material was being diluted by the swollen river.
Is that supposed to be good news?
“The solution to pollution is dilution”
-Literal robber baron shit
If only there was someone willing to speak about the state of infrastructure in this country.
At this point it seems like the infrastructure has decided to speak for itself.
