DISASTER ALERT!
Barge Carrying 1,400 Tons of Toxic Methanol has become submerged in the Ohio River.
Multiple disaster teams on the scene.
Methanol "is a toxic alcohol that is used industrially as a solvent, pesticide, and alternative fuel source."
Methanol is HIGHLY toxic and completely mixes with water. Municipal water intakes are just miles downstream.
