I think it is of concern to us we have a facility that had a near miss which i actually feel lucky about. It could have been much more catastrophic. This picture tells it all. Reporter catastrophic she says because when the explosion happened a piece of equipment weighing 80,000 pounds was sent flying nearly 100 feet. Sources say this photo, submitted to federal investigators and obtained by cbs news shows that piece landed a few feet from a tank containing a form of hydrochloric acid. It is a highly toxic chemical that if released can form a cloud of toxic gas that can drift for miles. Potentially causing thousands of injuries and even deaths. Hf in our view and in my view, is one of the most hazardous and deadly chemicals. In worsecase scenarios, at dead live levels it causes asphyxiation because once inhaled it causes respiratory problems that build up and you ultimately drown. Reporter 200,000 people live within three miles of the plant. In documents filed with the epa, exxon mobil estimates in a worsecase scenario release of hydrochloric acid all of them in that distance could be injured or die.

From the Broadcast Center in new york city. This is the cbs overnight news. To the overnight news. Washington is on edge this morning as russian war planes and helicopter gun ships continue their strikes in syria. Russian president vladamir putin insists his military is targeting gangs of International Terrorists presumably isis fighters. But attacks are centered on homs where syria backed rebels are in control. The russians are deing into theyre targeting the group. Reporter the pentagon counted eight russian aircraft attacking two areas in western syria away from where u. S. Aircraft operate, and well away from territory controlled by isis. The targets which russia said were weapons, ammunition and other military equipment belongs to terrorists in areas controlled by groups fighting to overthrow the regime of Bashar Al Assad. In other words russia is not joining the u. S. In the fight against isis but instead intervening on the side of assad. A brutal dictator president obama repeatedly said must go. Defense secretary carter said it amounts to throwing gasoline on a fire. The result of this kind of action will inevitably simply be to enflame the civil war in syria. Carter was also miffed by the way russia notified the u. S. Of the strikes. One hour ahead of time a russian general walked up to the u. S. Embassy in baghdad and announced russian aircraft were about to begin flying over syria and american war planes should stay away. This is not the kind of behavior we should expect professionally. Reporter the u. S. Did not change flight plans. But the two sides have begun talks on setting up procedures for making sure their planes dont run into each other. That was not a problem today. But could become one if the russian aircraft attack opposition groups supported by the u. S. Now that the russian strikes have begun both sides are in a hurry to get the talks moving. And it could happen as soon as tomorrow with a Video Conference between the two militaries. The russian air strikes are sending a political shiver through the arab world. Nora odonnell sat down with foreign minister of saudi arabia for cbs this morning. Russia says it is in syria to defeat isis do you believe thats why theyre there . I believe that there is an International Coalition to fight isis in syria. And this coalition includes a number of countries. I believe that if the russians want to be part of that coalition, i doubt any of the members would mind. But theyre currently not . Correct. So the question it begs why would they go to syria unilaterally to fight when there is an International Coalition in place fighting them as we speak. What do you believe is the answer . What are their motives . I believe it is to support al assad. Russia says there can be a Broad Coalition in syria with assad in power. Is that conceivable . Inconceivable. Theyre proposing a coalition with assad to fight against them in syria. He was the person who created them. You believe russia is comb ply kagtcomb complicating this effort . I think their assessment may not be correct. Would the kingdom of saudi arabia consider putting their soldiers, their boots on the ground in syria to defeat isis . We have our aircraft flying in syria, over syria to combat isis. We continue to be part of this coalition. With regard to an other issues i think we have to consider all of the options and see and do a cost benefit analysis. What do you think should be done . What is going to break the log jam in syria . I believe there has to be more robust intervention in syria. I believe that the world has to be more firm in in insisting that Bashar Al Assad leave. If he wants to leave through a political process that would be preferable. If not then i think we should step up the military support for the top position to bring about a change of the balance of power on the ground. Which will then force him to leave. In your view how long could assad stay in power under any exit deal . Secretary kerry said assad would stick around until isis was defeated. This could be a long time. I dont know. I think a political transition would require as i mentioned a governing council that takes over authority. Prepares the country for elections. Writes a new constitution. Maintains the institutions of the state, military civilian while assad departs. The Obama Administration is canceling its efforts to train what it calls moderate syrian fighters to battle the islamic state. The pentagon sent 500 million hoping to put tens of thousand in the war zone. In the end a handful of men joined the fight. Most u. S. Weapons ended up in the hand of the islamic state. What went wrong . Holly williams is in turkey near the syrian border. Reporter good morning, we spoke yesterday with colonel hasan mustafa, a commander in division 30, the home of the american trained rebel fighters. Colonel mustafa is too frightened of assassination by islamic extremists to show his face. But wanted to tell us about what he called the strategic mistakes made by the u. S. In its program to train and equip syrian fighters. When the first group of 54 american trained fighters entered syria in july several of them were captured by islamic militants. Because we had so few men, they were easy prey colonel mustafa told us. He claims he gave the u. S. The names of more than 1,200 fighters. But after strict vetting, just over 100 were accepted. His other complaint is that america left his men vulnerable by giving them too few weapons and too little ammunition. But the commander of the second group of 70 u. S. Trained fighters admitted to us that he gave half of his american weapons to alnuzra al qaedas syrian affiliate. Colonel mustafa said the commander should be court martialed. Its difficult for the u. S. To give division 30 more weapons and ammunition when it has already handed over some of those weapons to al nuzra. Translator thats true. I agree. He told us. We need to review the whole strategy to make sure our fighters are loyal to syria. Americas problem in syria has always been not knowing who to trust. Carefully vetting and training a select group of socalled moderate rebels was supposed to solve that problem. Instead though some of the fighters and their weapons have ended up in the hands of terrorists. The cbs overnight news will be right back.
