Veterans of oil-train disasters convene in Albany

Scott Waldman

ALBANY—People incinerated. Fireballs in the sky. Firefighters retreating from burning oil tankers.

Those were just some of the horrific images described by emergency officials who have responded to oil-train explosions around the country and in Canada. They traveled to Albany on Monday for a forum hosted by Albany County executive Dan McCoy to address the dangers posed by the great number of oil trains now moving through New York.
