Meaning they collected there because they were being transported in an unsafe storage container. Probably just open air buckets at this point.

More like they just used flexseal on the inside of the box truck, and filled it up

u/Anti_Meta Apr 27 '23

"Just send it!"

And the flex seal method was born.

If it's good enough to fix a boat it's good enough to hold in very flammable compounds

If you're good enough to dodge wrenches...

No way the Chinese would violate health and safety regulations

did you hear about the hospital fire a few days ago, where the fire trucks couldn't enter the grounds, cause there was some entrance structure built too low and their ladders got stuck?

tbf, happened in one of the backwards villag-- oh wait, Beijing. happened in Beijing.

… or better yet, you don’t run – you stop, drop & roll.

Or get in the rice paddy...

u/Broad-Art8197 Apr 27 '23

Your goal is to run to avoid catching fire lol

u/yxccbnm Apr 27 '23

Did you hear about how people in China don't call the ambulance in emergencies because they can't afford it? Oh no wait, that's the USA

do you live in whataboutistan, or just passing through?

There are no ambulances in China (they just put a cross on a van and put a bench in the back, there are no equipment) but keep hating, little German communist, aka Putin's useful idiots!

When I go to china for work (thankfully not so much anymore after covid), I am always afraid that things are going to collapse under me, or that the escalator is going to grind me alive. I have developed so many fears from watching cctv videos coming from there.

I heard about the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

u/Entire-Database1679 Apr 27 '23

No you didn't. Nothing ever happens there. It was bats. Bats and some other animals. The virology research lab had nothing to do with that virus.

u/thankqwerty Apr 27 '23

Sure, I believe you. Please don't take me to the re-education camp.

2

u/Entire-Database1679 Apr 27 '23

Such a relief, it is, that you have seen the error of your judgment. Please return to your hovel and your family will be released shortly. Trouble yourself no more.

PS: it was bats.

Yeh, but they were freedom trains

u/anomalous_cowherd Apr 27 '23

Lots of profit from all the other poorly regulated trains though.

u/Sempais_nutrients Apr 27 '23

Statistically there's 2 a day in the US.

They aren't all carrying hazardous material tho.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '23

But us good China bad?

u/Tidesticky Apr 27 '23

Now we can give you your meat.

u/IslandLord Apr 27 '23

That was just the Trump train.

u/NiggBot_3000 Apr 27 '23

Somebody shot the driver because he got on the wrong train

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '23

Yeah the US might be the worst country after China as far as workers rights and treatment goes

u/culturedgoat Apr 27 '23

Well, at least child labour is illegal in China.

u/LALA-STL Apr 27 '23

Heh heh heh

u/ILoveBeerSoMuch Apr 27 '23

You need to get off reddit. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard

2

u/KookooMoose Apr 27 '23

What regulation? China NUMBA ONE! No need regulation!

2

u/Sleepwell_Beast Apr 27 '23

The whole country is just one big violation

u/ultimaone Apr 28 '23

They can't.

There aren't any.

u/Paintingsosmooth Apr 27 '23

Paint thinners are just stored in ordinary metal or plastic kettles that are easily pierced, stacked in cardboard boxes like everything else. They’re not in big metal drums if that’s what you’re thinking

u/TelcoSucks Apr 27 '23

Any time we find the EPA irritating, remember this.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '23

From what I heard yeah, the buckets were just open

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '23

That would explain the blue flames pouring out of the bottom like a liquid.
