Toxic chemicals in containers of ship
On the container ship that destroyed the Francis Scott Key, there were
containers with toxic chemicals inside that were destroyed by the
collision, and others that may fall off.
Every time a container ship is damaged, there is a risk of poisoning
from toxic contents of containers. It seems to me that we should make
special containers for such cargoes, and have laws to require their
use when the contents call for them.
The same safety containers could prevent train derailments and truck
collisions from causing something even worse.
