	200 evacuated after derailment sends tanker cars into Allegheny River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Two of the tanker cars that ended up in the river were filled with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, a caustic concentrated gas that turns into hydrofluoric acid when mixed with water.
		The river worked as a positive factor for the contents of the derailed tanker because the water diluted the hydrofluoric acid as it flowed downriver and helped prevent the gas from being released into the air, said Bob Full, the county's emergency management director.
		Though the river worked partially to neutralize the chemical, Dzombak and Bialosky each said the leaking hydrogen fluoride gas, which turns into hydrofluoric acid when it hits the water, will cause damage to the aquatic life around the tanker.
