Seven cars that fell into the water contained molten sulfur and hot asphalt, local authorities have said

A train carrying potentially hazardous materials has derailed in the US State of Montana, with several cars ending up in the water, authorities said on Saturday. Montana Rail lix, the company operating the train, said there were no injuries.
In a statement on Facebook, Stillwater County’s Disaster and Emergency Services Department (DES) said the incident occurred at about 6am local time on a bridge over the Yellowstone River, which collapsed. In total, three cars containing hot asphalt and four cars carrying molten sulfur crashed into the water, it added.
The department said the cause of the incident remains unclear, and declined to speculate on whether the bridge collapse had led to the derailment, or vice versa.
Meanwhile, Montana Rail lix said the train also included two cars with sodium hydrosulfate, an extremely corrosive substance, but that neither of those made contact with the water.

當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間周六，一列運(yùn)載潛在危險(xiǎn)物質(zhì)的火車在美國蒙大拿州出軌，幾節(jié)車廂掉進(jìn)水中，當(dāng)局表示沒有人員受傷。Stillwater縣災(zāi)難和緊急服務(wù)部（DES）在Facebook上發(fā)表聲明稱，該事件發(fā)生在上午6點(diǎn)左右，一座位于黃石河上的橋梁坍塌。據(jù)稱，總共有三節(jié)裝載熱瀝青的車廂和四節(jié)裝載熔化硫的車廂墜入水中。該部門表示，事故原因尚不清楚，并拒絕推測是橋梁坍塌導(dǎo)致了出軌，還是出軌導(dǎo)致了橋梁坍塌。與此同時(shí)，蒙大拿鐵路公司表示，火車還包括兩節(jié)裝載極易腐蝕的硫酸氫鈉的車廂，但這兩節(jié)車廂都沒有接觸到水。

It stated that “initial air quality assessments have been performed and confirmed that there is no release event associated with those two cars.”
The DES noted that there is “no expected HAZMAT [hazardous materials] impact to Stillwater County towns,” adding that air and water monitoring efforts in the area are continuing.
Despite the reassuring statements, local authorities have asked people in the area to conserve water, explaining that water treatment facilities “have instituted emergency protective measures… due to a potential hazmat spill.”
The Montana derailment comes after several similar incidents across the US, including one in Ohio in early February. At the time, the Norfolk Southern-operated train, which was carrying toxic chemicals and combustible materials, went off track and caught fire in the village of East Palestine, prompting a mass evacuation in the area.
Later, officials decided to carry out a controlled burn on site to prevent an explosion, which triggered fears of severe environmental contamination in nearby towns.

聲明中指出，“已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了初步的空氣質(zhì)量評估，并確認(rèn)這兩節(jié)車廂沒有發(fā)生泄漏事件。”
DES指出，“預(yù)計(jì)不會(huì)對Stillwater縣的城鎮(zhèn)造成危險(xiǎn)物質(zhì)的影響”，并補(bǔ)充說，該地區(qū)的空氣和水資源監(jiān)測工作仍在繼續(xù)。盡管有這些安撫性的聲明，當(dāng)?shù)禺?dāng)局還是要求該地區(qū)的居民節(jié)約用水，解釋稱水處理設(shè)施“已采取緊急保護(hù)措施...由于潛在的危險(xiǎn)物質(zhì)溢出事件”。在蒙大拿州發(fā)生此次出軌事故之前，美國發(fā)生了幾起類似的事件，包括今年2月初在俄亥俄州發(fā)生的一起事故。當(dāng)時(shí)，由Norfolk Southern公司運(yùn)營的火車運(yùn)載著有毒化學(xué)品和易燃材料，脫軌并在東巴勒斯汀村著火，導(dǎo)致該地區(qū)大規(guī)模疏散。隨后，官員決定在現(xiàn)場進(jìn)行控制性燃燒，以防止爆炸，這引發(fā)了人們對附近城鎮(zhèn)嚴(yán)重環(huán)境污染的擔(dān)憂。
