So following up to my previous post about the chemical truck. Friday I was passed by two trucks that were moving very quickly (since I was going 70). The first truck was completely unmarked except for a corrosive warning sign on the back. The truck and trailer were brand new. Now almost tailgating this truck was another one with the strangest looking shipping containers I have seen. They almost looked like they were made of concrete with Phosphorus sulfide stenciled on the side of them. The really odd part was the chemical marking on trailer was 1340 which is not the right number.

The thing about Phosphorous sulfide is while it is used to produce some "high performance lubricants" its primary use is production of insecticides and VX.

And even better yet it was pouring rain out; when Phosphorous sulfide mixes with water it produces Hydrogen Sulfide gas which is pretty deadly in its own right. And do you really think the Indiana Law enforcement have the presence of mind to evac the 3.2km required for a moderate to large spill?
