Several residents within a mile of the derailment were ordered to leave their homes and prepare for a 'long-term evacuation'

A freight train derailed in Matteson, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, on Thursday, prompting some residents within a mile of the crash to evacuate their homes.

FOX 32 in Chicago reported that a Canadian National Railway train derailed near the 21000 block of Main Street at about 10:45 a.m., according to local officials.

As a result, homes nearby were evacuated because of a hazmat situation, as officials were looking at a leaking train car, according to ABC 7 Chicago.

Residents within a mile south of Main Street and 217th Street were given a mandatory evacuation order, as were areas a mile west of Main Street and a quarter of a mile east of Main Street.

Those ordered to evacuate were advised to prepare for a "long-term evacuation" and to take their medications or supplies before leaving their home.

According to a Canadian National Railway official, roughly 20 freight cars carrying various substances derailed, though it is unclear what caused the train to leave the tracks.

I’d say so. Plus that fat pig Pritzger that purchased the governorship gives a lot of money to the left.

How is it that a train with hazardous materials is derailing in 2024? Especially around residential areas. Haven't we had this technology since the early 1800s? Is there no safety measure to put in place to ensure this doesn't happen? Especially in residential areas. Unless of course it's human error, which there is no way to prevent that. See Chernobyl.. There is no way to prevent humans from focking up.
