I couldn't stop getting this image in my head of amateur chemists rushing to the leak with buckets and bottles like you see sometimes when fuel
pipelines are breached!

That one goes into my list of 'you know when you are an amateur chemist when ...'
... you rush -towards- a chemical spill.

And some (closer to the spill) are very much unhappy.
It turns out the spill location was only about 2 miles from where I grew up. (Also, I find it funny that the link for Minneapolis on the Fox News
website goes to a page about the Justine Damond shooting, instead of general Minneapolis information. Of course Fox would do that.)
Here's a local news site with a bit more details: http://www.startribune.com/authorities-responding-to-hazardo...
