Ohio train derailment releases massive amounts of chemicals into the air. Media remains largely SILENT.

As farmers, we cannot even burn our household trash in certain parts of the country or we can be prosecuted, yet the state government of Ohio can set fire to extremely hazardous chemicals in the open air??????? The EPA is sooo two faced.

American Pariah
I just hope that this finally opens the eyes of the people. Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Libertarian, Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, Native, etc. etc., are you seeing it? They don’t care about you, me, or anyone else but themselves. This should have been considered NATIONAL catastrophe!!

@P A Carter Oh I innerstand what you’re saying but this will effect anyone wherever it settles. The attacks on our economy (shutting down the country for CV19) and food supplies is (over one hundred processing plants burned down, and multiple food producer facilities burned down and the culling of millions of chickens and turkeys) only the beginning. The „Georgia Guide Stones” should’ve told the people all that they need to know.

American Pariah
@Steve S I cannot disagree on anything that you said. Sad how gullible people are nowadays.

Those fish needs a „drop and run” stamp on them like those cobalt 60 bars have

@Indoor Kite wait WHAT???

Kaerius
@rexanator100 Cobalt 60 has been used in in radiation therapy machines, and it is incredibly radioactive. There’s been several radiological „events” with improperly disposed of old radiotherapy machines. Lethal radiation dose when handling one of those bars can be suffered in under a minute, if you sprint away immediately you might not die. So it’s a pretty valid warning to stamp on the bars.

Wow laughed so hard !!

Lets give billions of dollars for Ukraine, but fick Michigan

It’s disturbing when you realize how vulnerable it makes you when you can’t trust your government and media. Not only because of the lies they tell you, but because of the disloyalty it breeds. People become more willing to turn to our enemies for help and facts.

Phoivos Syros
It’s what happens when you base the entire premise of society upon ideological lies and sophistries like equality between the sexes. Fairytale land doesn’t hold up for long, in reality

„YOUR government”😂😂😂

Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave speak with NewsNation Washington bureau chief Mike Viqueira about the chemical explosion in East Palestine, Ohio.

Kd Ott
The Gov doesn’t just harm railroad workers. They’ll harm entire towns to protect shareholder profits.

King Stannis Baratheon
The train company said it’s not gonna be hazardous for the environment so there’s 100% chance it’s hazardous.

Ted Hodge
They’re more concerned about carbon emissions than literal toxic chemicals being introduced directly into a tributary water supply going into a main river.

ratm183
That response about the homes being tested and nothing has been found is almost exactly what the government said about Flint

repo madness
They tried to quickly Burnet to disperse the chemical so they could get the train running. But all that did was spread it all over the place. Now they’re using the balloon story to cover it up and keep our attention off how serious this was and how they mismanaged it

Mike Zarka
This is why trust in our institutions has completely plummeted. Their handling of this is nothing short of criminal.

CockSmasher9000
They dont care about your trust, they just want you to go with it.

Fish and pets are dying in the Ohio town where a massive train derailment happened on February 3. The story has started to make headlines after residents say that it was suppressed for days. Security footage shows that the train had been on fire for at least 20 miles before it went off the rails. The rail company, Norfolk Southern Railway, said that it conducted a “controlled breach of several rail cars.” Meaning they burned them in order to keep them from exploding. The images of the burn are apocalyptic. Who is at fault here? Did they have to burn? Is this a climate apocalypse?

Sleeper
This has shocked me! How can media not report this?

Don Song
What do you expect, is America

SirMarshalHaig
@Don Song belive me it’s not better in Europe

nikodimus86
Figure out who owns american media and who controls the government, also look at who is the president of Ukraine. Connect the dots, regardless of the consequences.

FFBE Exaid
They just want all your attention on the balloon. 😂

Meg Baines
Anyone who thinks these train wrecks are unfortunate accidents isn’t paying attention.

tammy manuel
This is horrible. Shame on the rail company and our useless government. 😡

Thecatwiththehats
And the media!!!

Andrew Starr
@Thecatwiththehats media and government are one in the same!

Sara Gutierrez
Apparently 2/3 of the biggest shareholders of Norfolk Southern are, drumroll, BlackRock and Vangaurd.

Sheepdog9
they lied about everything. Hiding what’s on the train is number one. As a former firefighter, I would have NEVER blown this thing up because adding heat to certain chemicals changes their structure and toxicity

Yabba Dabba Doo
In 50 years of reading Hazmat paperwork never ever heard of a ”Controlled explosion” to bring a disaster under control. This is too insane to even consider.

Margaret Frazier
It was purposeful , IMO

Lummoxx
Just to accelerate the removal of the chemicals from the tanks so they could get the tracks back open.

chris williamson
I agree it’s very odd that was the choice made..

CATHY GUY
@Lummoxx yeah and all the contamination that went up will come down in the rain. So the air stream seems to be going east 🤔 with a big storm coming.

Cindy Landry
There is a hazmat study of Livingston, LA train derailment in the 80’s online. They burnt off vinyl chloride back then also. Many did get cancer despite reports.

Bennie
These chemicals would not have exploded. They wanted to intentionally release toxic chemicals.

“Bomb Train” in Ohio Sickens Residents: Railroad Cutbacks, Corporate Greed Led to Toxic Disaster

Fears of a wider health and environmental disaster are growing, after a 150-car freight train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed and a so-called controlled burn released toxic chemicals last week in East Palestine, Ohio. Residents reported seeing a fireball and mushroom cloud of smoke fill the skyline. Data released by the Environmental Protection Agency shows the train contained more toxic and carcinogenic chemicals than initially reported, including phosgene, a poisonous gas that has been used as a chemical weapon in war. Officials lifted an evacuation order for residents last Wednesday, saying the air and water were safe, but residents have reported sore throats, burning eyes and respiratory problems, and wildlife has been found dead. Meanwhile, scrutiny has turned onto Norfolk Southern, which in recent years has challenged regulatory laws aimed at making the rail industry safer and made mass cuts to railroad staffing while spending billions on stock buybacks and executive compensation. We get an update from Emily Wright, community organizer based near the site of the derailment; Ross Grooters, a locomotive engineer and co-chair of Railroad Workers United; and Julia Rock, an investigative reporter with The Lever.

Nathalie Sinovich
This is terrible. It should be headline news. That poisonous mushroom cloud is sickening.

It’s easier to talk about Chinas party ballon

Nicholas Rapose
Literally sickening

Teddy Jackson
Why did it take “democracy now” just as long to cover this.

Nicholas Rapose
@Teddy Jackson idk probably cuz both the authorities and the company were doing everything they could to prevent the details from coming out. Did you not see that one reporter get arrested for… reporting?

Justin Wheeler
@Teddy Jackson Railroad companies got major pull in this country. They’ve hauled 200 years worth of goods, precious metals, fuel in and out of this country that was, seemingly settled for their sake: „I’ve been working on the railroad all the live long day.”
