Sheriff credits 9/11 planning for Graniteville rescue effort
Aiken County Sheriff Michael Hunt credited Homeland Security funded emergency plans and grants for rapid, unified response to the Graniteville 2:30 a.m. train crash and chlorine leak. He noted 5,500 residents were evacuated, emergency suits aided responders, and county costs could run into the millions despite a $450,000 bill billed to Norfolk Southern.
