Modern Marvels. More Dangerous Cargo

Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author).

Summary: Dangerous cargo comes in all shapes and sizes. Transportation of these potentially deadly loads is one of the most meticulously thought-out procedures in the world of shipping. Special trucks and containers are as vital for the movement of dynamite as they are for the storage of hazardous chemical materials. On the road, this type of cargo is monitored by satellite tracking with a multitude of safety precautions built into the journey.
