Looks like something that would happen on my HO layout

Is it just me or does that bridge look melted?
|
Note the two firemen standing on the bridge between the burning cars. Fortunately for those nearby homeowners, ethanol is not explosive, nor is it particularly toxic.
|
Luckily no one was hurt. Also this may sound kind of ironic, but it was probably a good thing those cars did have ethanol on them, had they been carrying something like chlorine the outcome could have been far worse.

Did anyone notice the 2 people standing under the bridge?

Was hoping someone would get a clear shot of this; looks like the one in the papers. Thanks for doing so, did not feel like driving across the state to see the incident. Also looks like what happens to my trains when I hit the "bridge-glitch" in Cutbank on MSTS.

WOW! Awesome, etc. Shows the fragileness of even heavy steel. Super job. Congrats.

It looks as if the house directly above one of the still burning tank cars suffered heat damage to its siding.
