Oil Train Blast Zone
– Movement Website –
Bakken crude oil, obtained by fracking in North Dakota, is extremely volatile and threatens to blow up entire communities (the blast zone is one half mile on both sides of the tracks). What a terrific idea. And they are hauling these “bomb trains” all over the U.S. and Canada.
Oil train explosions and spills threaten millions of Americans. Safety standards lag far behind the massive increase in oil train traffic; now it’s time to protect our families. President Obama and Congress must act to take dangerous oil trains off the tracks.
