1. Get water on those remaining tank cars to keep them cool and prevent a BLEVE

2. Pull those upright tank cars away.

3. Forget the fire on the ground - let the fuel burn off = less pollution.

The Russians probably have the gas pipeline ready for demolition also. They were seen digging around earlier.

I thought a train hit a coal mine in US.

I thought this was talking about the US *state* of Georgia. I was like, "Who the fuck is mining train tracks in the Southern US??"

This is what happens when you mess with Russia.

IF KOSOVO can be independent why can't Ossetia and Abhazia who were not part of Georgia since 1992.

@WirlWind494 Well, seeing as how the track was built upon the same ground where the train hit the mine, I very seriously doubt that the mine was just laying there. It was probably put there, because I am pretty sure that that train wasn't the first one going through that area. Some kid trying to get a school delay or some shit like that.
