From Knoxnews.com: "The derailed cars carried liquid propane; butane; carbon dioxide; methyl methacrylate, which is used to make plastic; and propylene oxide, which is used to make polyurethane; flame retardants; and synthetic lubricants, Norfolk Southern spokeswoman Susan Terpay said." Complete story is here but you may have to register: http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/local_news/article/0,1406,KNS_347_4789773,00.html Reports from the radio this morning state that Hwy11 has been re-opened.
