One report stated that the crew asked permission to stop and inspect the train and were told not to. The whole vent and burn fiasco resulted in "what we have here is a failure to communicate". The chemical company that manufactured the chemical did not think an explosion was likely and recommended they not vent and burn the tankcars that released the very toxic plume. Somehow this was not communicated to the fire commander until after they proceeded to set fire and blow the cars up.
