When a train derails in the dead of night, a massive cloud of chlorine gas overcomes the sleeping town of Alberton, Montana. GASSED: The True Story of a Toxic Train Derailment/BOOK 1 - The Spill reveals the 1996 crisis of townsfolk fleeing the toxic fog, and the ensuing struggle to patch the largest-ever breach of a liquid chlorine tank. Hundreds of people experience acute injury, with one immediate death. RL Scholl documents the catastrophe of a mixed-chemical spill, while raising critical questions about the emergency response and the controversies that divide the community. This riveting case study illuminates the physical, psychological and financial devastation of a toxic mass exposure that could happen anywhere, anytime. Readers with an interest in railroad history, emergency response to toxic spills, chronic health effects from mass chlorine exposure, and environmental justice issues will find this book a rich resource. The two-book series is adapted from the documentary Alberton, Montana: Anatomy of a Toxic Train Wreck, for general readership.
