Of course, not all three-miles of train derailed or burned. It seems like five of the derailed cars carried the toxic material that was intentionally burned. No, it is not likely that there would be a crash on the turnpike involving five trucks carrying this particular toxic material. On the other hand, the frequency of accidents on the turnpike involving trucks is much higher than the frequency of train derailments and there is always the possibility that one of those trucks could be carrying something toxic.
