AS AN EX-EMT/FIREFIGHTER IN MASSACHUSSETTS, I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW OVERKILL IS A LOT BETTER THAN NOT DOING ENOUGH. A LITTLE INCONVIENCE IS BETTER THAN LIVES AT RISK!

How was toxic tanker response?... Being trapped in the blocked traffic was a total nightmare. Trapped is the only way to describe it. We didn't know what was going on, or why, or when we would get home. Being stuck for over 5hrs. was nothing but pure fright. We almost ran out of gas and had no idea how we would make it through. Only for the help of a local woman getting us thru a side road did we finally get home to Knoxville @2am. More needs to be done on the outside of this type of situation. Traffic needed to be turned around completely, not detoured. The detour given was nothing more than a trap. It was just horrible horrible!!! I could only pray no one stuck in that road block had to suffer an emergency situation of their own. It is only by the grace of God that anyone made it home. When in doubt, EXIT - not detour!

Excellent! Great job. They did an impossible task of informing everyone rapidly saving many and in every side street also. they were also extremly brace to do so, due to its nature. Couldn't be better.
