Breitbart reports: The train crew was reported as safe, and Montana officials reported no injuries from the bridge collapse.
Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) said he was “monitoring the situation” in a statement on social media.
Montana Rail Link spokesman Andy Garland said “several” tank cars were partially submerged in the Yellowstone River early Saturday.
“The safety of our employees and the public remains our top priority,” Garland said. “We are committed to addressing any potential impacts to the area as a result of this incident and working to understand the reasons behind the accident.”
Drinking water in Yellowstone County is not currently affected, according to Williams, but officials still shut down drinking water intakes downstream as they evaluated the situation.
As Associated Press reporter saw yellow liquid pouring out of the tank cars.
The incident in Montana is just the latest train derailment to occur across the county on U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s watch.
They hate Gianaforte and because he’s anti them He’s a creationist, a real christian old wchool ,a real conservative ,a trump supporter and a he’ll of a nice guy. And Jacobs deserved what he got imo. Anyway you know them. Just malicious ruthless without conscience.
There’s no way this many spills keep happening in or near our waterways by coincidence. As long as we keep letting int’l banksters control our Federal Reserve money these “accidents” will never end.
