I believe they were over an ocean at the time, so there was no where to divert to. The nearest airport and the one they were going to were probably one and the same, or at least very close to each other.

Could you talk about what's being done to reduce the threat of coal trains to our communities?

Do this people. The bill can absolutely pass in the house, and only needs the support of a few more legislators.

Find your legislator, and give them a call, ask to set up a meeting, or go into one of their offices and talk with staff. Better yet, get together with an organization or group of friends and do that.

Do you feel that the Oil Transportation Safety Act (HB 1449) goes far enough in addressing the danger?

While I'm very worried about the environmental threat, there is an much simpler public safety issue as well, that these trains do explode, and do so devastatingly.

Hello Governor Inslee,

I'm a young person living in Washington State. I'm interested in and inspired by the Carbon Pollution Accountability Act, especially it's potential to be making big oil help pay for education and green energy/transport infrastructure. What can I do to help make it pass? Which legislators need a nudge to help make it happen?
