Russians scare with a possible explosion of their cars in Poland/Liga.NO
A subsidiary of the Russian company Novatek announced a possible explosion of its railcars currently in Poland.
It is known that 500 railcars are filled with liquefied petroleum gas. It is they who, as they are afraid in the company, can explode.
The company stressed that an explosion can occur due to the physical and chemical properties in the case of:
- a longer parking of these wagons on the tracks,
- increase in outside temperature.
Novatek was asked to take steps to bring these gas wagons to cargo terminals.
