Seven train cars and a tankcar containing flammable gas derailed on October 15, 2005 at a railroad switchyard in Texarkana, Arkansas. The derailment caused a liquefied gas leak and explosion that killed one person and forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes. This video stresses the need to quickly research and properly identify chemicals involved in a hazardous materials incident. It also re-enforces the need to be prepared to immediately evacuate the scene of a hazardous materials incident.
