I counted 14 tankers today labeled as ‘Bio Engery’ (probably ethanol) parked only 100 feet from a kid’s skateboard park and a couple hundred feet from the river and a busy street. I did tap on one and it seemed empty.
The label ‘1987 – 3’ means flammable alcohol.
This label by Chemtrec appeared on several of the tankers, according to their website;
Established in 1971 as a public service of the American Chemistry Council (ACC), CHEMTREC is an around-the-clock service available to fire fighters, law enforcement officials and other emergency responders who need immediate critical response information for emergency incidents involving chemicals, hazardous materials and dangerous goods. CHEMTREC’s highly trained personnel receive hundreds of calls every day and provide assistance during incidents that range from minor to critical.
I’ll end with some graffiti I found on one of the tankers. I think it says it all.
It’s worth the risk though with the “High Speed Trains” coming any day now…. Hey Brandon, I bet you guys are especially excited about the HSTs….. Huh?
It’s the only canvas the city has no citations for and can’t make you paint over.
That last one would make a good album cover.
