  This is a good summary of the situation. One thing the speaker left out is that hydrochloric acid is heavier than air, so while the reaction does result in a bunch of hydrochloric acid, it should react with things in the local environment very quickly to make a hot mess of the immediate environment but not to spread out into the larger ecosystem.

    Honestly that's the type of data that would help calm the situation a bit. Five cars of vinyl chloride, three cars of diethylene glycol, and two cars of oil are the problem children at this point. At least the quantities involved aren't too large, it wasn't a whole train of vinyl chloride. Still preventable though and things aren't getting any safer from here if the railroads have anything to say about it. And the local wildlife getting sick is still concerning... if the measurements say everything is fine and the local wildlife is dying, you aren't measuring what needs to be measured.
