I think there have been 2 deaths from this. One was a Firefighter who I believe succumbed to the gases at the site and another was a worker who is stated as missing. They fear for the worse with him though.

Roughly 12,000 people evacuated, apparently there was some looting as well.
It's a matter of getting the mess sorted now.

Understood. Cleaning up the mess after the big bang is always the long job.

Yes. I always stay away from propane as far as I can.

however, there are propane trucks on the road.

there are also propane containing carts hooked up to an engine on the train.
