Original Note:
The train was not carrying PVC resin, a stable white powder, but Vinyl Chloride Monomer, a liquified gas that is a precursor to PVC. VCM gas is toxic & carcinogenic, but also highly volatile & flammable. Combustion fumes are less harmful, so they let it burn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_chloride https://sds.oxy.com/private/document.aspx?prd=M9192~~PDF~~MTR~~ANSI~~EN~~2015-04-06+11:39:41.000~~VINYL+CHLORIDE+(MONOMER
