Heavy duty buffing pad called for.

I imagine EMS had only just arrived.

Begs the question. Why the hell is this nasty **** being transported by road transport?. Either step up the precautions or transport it by rail. Imagine the JSEA for the next shipment...... Amazed no one was killed.

An Inter Transtar carrying the stuff went bang up between Wandoan and Taroom 30-40 years ago. Left a bloody great crater where the road used to be. The two brothers driving two-up were never found. Investigations seemed to show that the truck was simply driving along and went off. Anfo is used in vast quantities in mining.

Ok, so, if it needs to be transported by road then the safety factor needs to bumped up to another level. Think front and rear escorts in direct radio contact with the truck that travel with the truck at all times. To warn of issues ahead. And a set speed limit must be set (60km/h). It is amazing that some innocent persons were not killed just touring our magnificent country.

Cobblers. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of A N, millions of litres of fuel and copious quantities of other volatile and dangerous goods travel, millions of miles by road each year incident free.
How many people have been killed or injured in the past fifty years, as a direct result of a dangerous goods incident on a public road? Less than 1% of the annual road toll. More lives would be spared if private cars were banned.
Were you a politician in a previous life? That's the sort of knee-jerk nonsense they would espouse.
