BREAKING: All evacuation orders have been lifted.
A drone with an infrared camera showed the heat that's being generated inside the insulated rail car."People potentially getting hurt," Anthony Eid added. "So many emails and voicemails from people concerned about their cars too," Anthony said."It's not just us, like, I got a shop full of cars. What are they going to do if something happens to their cars?"
Authorities disclosed that the material was styrene, a chemical often used to make foam products, latex and synthetic rubber. The tank is holding about 1,000 pounds of the chemical. Some neighbors said they already smelled an odor coming from the tankers Thursday night, and that has the Eid brothers worried. "And somebody should be held accountable for it," Anthony added.
