Good morning, Dayton. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 9th of July.
ACCIDENTS NEWS
- ➤ On July 8, 1986, a CSX freight train derailed in Miamisburg and released a 1,000-foot cloud of burning phosphorus that forced over 17,500 people to evacuate and led to hospital treatments and emergency shelters. A second rupture forced an even larger evacuation and crews battled fires and chemical hazards—an event later marked by multiple lawsuits and known as one of the largest evacuations from a train accident in U.S. history—leaving a lasting impact on the community.
