I live nearby, I'm hosting some family at my home who have been evacuated. A fireman friend who has been to the site said the same. That it'll either explode or spill and they're banking on it spilling.

I believe they are having issues with the valves, from what I’ve read.

But I’m just some guy.

Many people have already mentioned that officials have stated the valve isn’t working.

But also, the chemical is actively undergoing an exothermic reaction (which is why the tank is at risk for failure). How do you transport such a toxic fluid without putting much more of the public at risk?

The valve's jammed, so they can't really pump things in or out.
