Molten Aluminum Spills on U.S. 24

About 25-thousand pounds of molten aluminum spilled from a semi truck along U-S 24 in Wabash County this morning. Bob Brown of the Wabash County Emergency Management Agency says the biggest danger was the heat, because molten aluminum is transported at 13-hundred degrees. Brown tells Q101 that some kind of container failure apparently caused the spill. No one was hurt, but police had to close the east-bound lanes of U-S 24 between State Road 13 and County Road 300 East.
