Five Dead in Illinois Accident Involving Anhydrous Ammonia Leak
Save for later
Share

A multi-vehicle accident in rural Effingham County, Illinois, resulted in five fatalities and the release of the toxic chemical anhydrous ammonia. The crash occurred on Route 40 and led to widespread evacuations in the nearby town of Teutopolis. Among the deceased are two children and an adult from a single household, a tractor-trailer driver from Ohio, and a motorist from Missouri.

Emergency services faced challenging conditions, including hazardous air and shifting winds, delaying their containment and rescue operations. Despite these complications, no first responders were injured during the emergency response, which involved roughly 100 personnel from 15 agencies.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has initiated an investigation into the incident. According to authorities, the road will remain closed, and many residents may continue to be displaced until at least Sunday as efforts to contain the toxic gas and clean the area are ongoing.

Is it a Roundup lawsuit or more about bad financials? I think the market reacted only to announced financial results.

Europe is falling behind in this field. The concerns 30 years ago was reasonable. Now not so much. We need crops that can survive in a more extreme future climate. Handle droughts and hot weather better. Crops that are less tasty to pests like hogs and deere.
