to get tough on major polluters upwind." have here a picture of the white mountains, which is where mount washington is. that's the highest point in new hampshire, and actually in the whole northeast. what this picture shows very clearly is the impact of this air pollution that's coming in from upwind. so we can see these are the white mountains on a clear day, you can see beautiful blue sky, green trees, beautiful landscape. on a hazy day, this is the impact of that smog. it looks like somebody to go a gray paint brush and painted over the white mountains in new hampshire. it's really unbelievable to me that we're here 14 years later after this action was brought in 1997 still debating transported air pollution. the time for debate is over. the quality -- the air quality improvements from this rule will benefit over 289,000 children who are at risk for asthma in new hampshire. new hampshire has one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country. in my state alone, air pollution is estimated to cost businesses more

uphill, upwind. you believe you have chemicals on your skin or clothing, obviously time is critical. remove everything from your body, wash your hands, flush your body with water. your safety is no. 1. direct contact with treating victims can expose you to contaminants. these people coming out of the bart might have been exposed to something, do you want to go and start touching them? do you want to let them leave? you are trying to contain them because where are they going to go? probably go to the hospital and then spread it. so call 911, warn others, direct them to wait for responders. hey, stop. help is forthcoming. if you are calling 911, just basic information you should know. is it a fire, is this a crime scene. evacuation is not always the best way. sometimes you want to stay inside your house. chemicals dropped over, this vapor cloud is coming, coming towards -- hit the golden gate bridge, one direction, now coming toward the marina. pick up your radio, tell the marina residents shelter in p

sadly, many of our upwind neighbors have not invested heavily enough in new clean air technologies. some states have even built smaller smokestacks so the pollution would fall on neighboring states, keeping their air clean and making our air dirty. at the end of the day, downwind states can spend millions of dollars to clean up their act but unless we require upwind states to make serious reductions, then states like mine won't get much healthier and people will continue to get sick and die. for all delawareans and all the others who are living at the end of that tailpipe, i say, enough is enough. the e.p.a. and the courts agree. this is why the e.p.a. has implemented this cross-state air pollution rule. this rule follows the intent and the direction of the clean air act amendments of 1990. it ensures that all we do -- that all of us do our fair share to reduce air pollution. that's the way it ought to be. like my employees, i try to live my life by the golden rule -- treat other people the way we want to be treated. that's why this rule is fair. my state, my neighboring states shou

. >> jim stays upwind of the inferno, unsure what the train cars are carrying. >> you always want touse obviously if it's a toxic chemical, you don't want to end up downwind of a train derailment and get any of the smoke or fumes that come off of it. >> on the ground, j.t. langston from the luther volunteer fire department is one of the first on the scene. >> it was going pretty good. the fire was going pretty hot and heavy there when we got there. >> the fire department doesn't know what the train cars are carrying, either. >> i didn't know what was in them or how bad it was at that point in time. i just knew that we needed to get on it pretty quick or we were going to have trouble. >> luther fire chief brian martin is faced with the most dangerous situation of his career. his small department isn't trained to deal with hazardous material. >> that requires specialty training. a lot of that training isn't available sometimes. and my biggest issue with everything was always keeping my guys safe. we wanted to know what we had, what we were going to do, before we sent anybody in. >> the

said, "you take a pound of that get upwind up around washington, d.c., get around 20,000 feet in an airplanek that this group could have pulled that off? >> i doubt that ricin is extremely difficult to handle t also has to be aerosolized that is has to be made so fine that it will float in the air or else it is not an efficient method of carrying out mass murder. one of the things that they describe in the affidavit you're also quoting from is the idea, their idea, apparently, that was if you ride in a car -- around in a car on an interknit state with the windows closed and the heat turned up on high and then pour this stuff out of a crack in the window, the heat coming into the car is going to supposedly create enough air pressure that the bad guys inside the car will not get any of the ricin -- >> that is what they were planning on doing. >> ludicrous on its face, had they done this seems almost certain two have died in the process. >> on an atlanta freeway. >> and the prospect of them actually obtaining ricin or ryce than could be spread i think was very remote, despite their having obtai
