    Well I just went down a rabbit hole. And this stuff doesn’t seem that bad. It’s stable at room temperature and there aren’t a ton of things that would set it off short of chucking something in to set it off. Heat, sunlight, and sparks are the main things that initiate polymerization. So California doesn’t seem the best option there.

    Honestly don’t know why they are calling it highly toxic. I mean it’s not great but I wouldn’t go that far

      Yeah I just saw a press conference where they said best case scenario is that it ruptures and leaks out.

      That begs the question as to why there aren’t multiple ways to release tank pressure.
