America's New Accident Waiting To Happen

10/8/01 - While lighters and tweezers are taken from the brave new batch of air travelers, there have been numerous close calls here on the ground which statistically should guarantee a major chemical, biological, or otherwise type of accident occur before any form of future terrorist strike. The chances increase greatly with each new accident involving Tri-State Motor Transit Company. The parent company's web site, Trism, is closed for a revamping, perhaps the same should be considered of the company itself.

As not reported by major media, last week saw two highway-closing mishaps, both by Tri-State, and both with cargos related, presumably, to fighting "America's New War". First, a truck carrying 42,000 pounds of explosive overturns, closing both lanes of I-64 in West Virginia the evening of October 4, and forcing evacuations in a one mile radius. The driver, traveling with his wife, choked when taking a sip of coffee. This was followed 12 hours later by the same company, this time by a truck carrying 8 Navy missiles hitting a bridge on I-70, forcing another evacuation of one radial mile in Myersville, Maryland.

So far the investigative reporting on Tri-State has not reached beyond West Virginia's Charleston Gazette. According to the story, Department of Transportation records show nearly 500 hazardous material accidents by the company since January 1990
