Loose Barges Hit Dam on Ohio River - Sinking with Tons of Methanol on Board

That sinking and toxic feeling... it's not just trains, it's boats as well in the US. Several barges are sinking in Kentucky, one of them carrying 1,400 tons of toxic methanol.

Footage shows them at a dam in Louisville, where the authorities have closed the floodgates to avoid a chemical leak. They say there's no need for alarm.

Methanol dissolves quickly in water, but could kill wildlife at the spill site. It's not as dangerous as vinyl chloride, which was released into the soil and rivers in Ohio after a chemical train crash.

Adidas Puts Boot in on Black Lives Matter Using Three Stripes

Does the sports firm own anything that attempts to use stripes? The real question is which one would make a better pair of predators? (Boots of course).
