Tank cars containing volatile mixtures of crude and fuel gases are derailing—potentially creating fireballs that can shoot the length of a football field into the sky—and they'll continue to derail at an average rate of 10 a year, according to one US Department of Transportation report. Hence the phrase "bomb trains," which was slapped on them by opponents. When these trains move through cities, the risk of potential fatalities increases dramatically.
