anyone can explain me how the fish died ? like i can understand the air quality and cloud but how can fish die underwater and out of the explosion impact im so confuse
It’s not just dead fish and chickens, there’s dead cats dead foxes that were kept at a licensed ODNR Fox Handler’s facility then there’s all the dead wildlife that doesn’t know not to drink from those poisoned streams and that’s why there is countless dead raccoons opossums skunks and squirrels that are well into the woods and not roadkill. To my knowledge we haven’t found any dead deer yet but they can easily travel long distances and get out of the area. I am not a local of East Palestine but I live in the neighboring county and have been there many times, it was a peaceful small town with a nice mix of agricultural and natural spaces surrounding it making it good hunting and fishing prior to this catastrophe
Do not trust. Abc. NBC. CNN. MSNBC. Where were they when this started. To busy covering up the story. Now helping to hide the truth by blaming a single wheel bearing. Lieing democrats and progressives.
What???? Vinyl chloride by far the worse chemical seems like he downplayed that.
Would boiling the water help? No clue. Trying to cover up this story with UFO’s. You cant move. No one would buy. Contact Warren Buffett. Hey, Brockovich go after Buffett.
FOR SALE!! ANYONE WANT TO BUY A HOUSE IN EAST PALESTINE??
How's this for civil and respectful I believe they caused that derailment on purpose so they can push the population further down south to a more focused area so we're easier to control. It's already begun!
I hope they don't blame this on China.
We are about to see a tax on water soon…
When will you all realize that you're pretty much on your own. Officials lie to protect the integrity of the system currently being ran. THEY HAVE TO!
ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU…… forget about the 2nd part of this famous quote. Only This 1st part is what really matters! 😞😞😞😞😞
LIES….LIES….A LITTLE TRUTH….THEN BACK TO MORE LIES….LIES…AND MORE LIES!
ABC News why don't you just ask your shear holder black Rock that owns you and the train what is really going on
The exposure limits for vinyl chloride need to take in long term low level chronic exposure. For example H2S, Hydrogen Sulfide PEL is 15 ppm, but the Chinese Drywall Lawsuit took in long term exposure meaning that at 180 days of chronic exposure daily living in a home emitting Hydrogen Sulfide, limits had to be lowered to less than 1ppm.
Back in 2005 there was a train crash in Graniteville SC where 9 people were killed and approximately 250 were treated for chlorine gas exposure. It was 2 Norfolk Southern trains. Something seems fishy…as if there's a cover-up. Prayers for all the residents of Ohio and beyond.
I wouldnt trust any of the testing done on the water. In fact, I wouldn't trust any government agency for any reason. This is the same government that destroyed the economy over the flu.
Only in Ohio 💀
Until these companies are sued billions there will be more of these events. Years ago PG and G was sued 333 million dollars for toxic sites. It was almost nothing when they should have been sued for billions. Then things will change for the betterment of the environment.
Don't drink tap water.
Thank you for reporting on this!!! They need help!
I live in Ohio I wanna know how tf the train even did that 2 I can't take a shower or use it for dishes taking a shower I'll get cancer dishes bc of the chemicals why even turn it back try to fix at least try I've been here my whole life I probably won't be able to go anywhere else.
Daily reminder 5th generation warfare isn't just fought between countries. It's fought between ideologies. And it doesn't just involve bullets. It involves information, policy, and the deliberate withholding of aid during events like chemical spills and other disasters.
You're at war and you don't even know it.
There is no cleaning up or fixing this mess
We need 3rd party people testing, not the people responsible. The train company seems like they got away with this again and this will be forgotten in a week unfortunately
Damn bruh
I'm sorry but Pete Buttigieg should resign. This man has showed no leadership skills whatsoever on anyting. Let alone this catastrophic train derailment that is affecting Ohio Pennsylvania and now upstate New York. Replace him with somebody that can do the job!!!!
Where did these chemicals come from?
Where were the chemicals going?
What are these chemicals used for?
What was the cause of this derailment of the train?
Who decided they chemical will be burned?
Is the combination of these chemicals more severe than just one chemical isolated?
Who said the air is SAFE?
Who is paying for bottled water?
How are property values effected?
Is it safe to bath or shower?
EPA falsely report the air was safe after 9/11 and many people have died and are dying
Pete Budageig gave some sad excuses for not going there. 'there are 1000 train derailments a year, he says…. well… no… not 1000 that threatens many many people around it. Sad but the Biden Administration fumbles the ball again. Lack of empathy form Joe Biden, Kamala and Pete Bedageig. They say they aren't forgetting the little guy but they are and people for many miles around at risk.
Nothing to see here people, move on, just a fender bender.

Alan Howard Shaw is the CEO Norfolk Southern.
Why hasnt anyone covered WHERE this train was going? What was it going to be used for? Why would they allow something SOOO toxic like this to even be sent unaccompanied? Where is the accountability? Why did the train derail? As well as the others in SC anf TX? The people need answers.
What the hell was that voice at 1:43 mark?
So happy our government gave my state cancer 10 or 20 years from now there's going to be a mass break out of cancer in Ohio and the government will completely lie about it don't worry its safe don't pay attention to all the animals dying nothing to see there what about all these ufos tho
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics found that 54,539 train derailments occurred in the U.S. from 1990 to 2021, an average of 1,704 per year.
The train sparks indicate that likely there has been a negligence on either train or rail maintenance. This accident should have been preventable.
What’s worse is that when it starts raining or snowing… where will the chemicals and gas all go??? Think about it.
Also the wind… when it blows all that toxicity across other states.
And also when all the chemicals seep into the ground and how long will it take for that soil to decompose all that? Covering it up doesn’t do anything. It’s all ready to late. They need to figure out how to trap it safely until it decomposes without it flushing into underground water that people/fish/plants animals drink out of.
If it’s safe why is there a noticeable smell/taste in the air, why recommend bottled water?
watch the 1979 abcnews piece with Brit Hume called "The Killing Ground" where they detail all sorts of illegal dumping. There's toxic crud buried everywhere. Its a real problem.
Don't search, EPA has sold out years ago.
They're not safe, I would bet'cha! They are being lied to!
The train derailment in Ohio was on purpose.
The train derailment in Texas was on purpose.
The arson of the plastic factory in Florida was on purpose.
Believe it or not!
There are no coincidences
And the W.H.O. is less concerned about this, than they were the Plandemic and the so called "Covid." Oh, they're not worried about any masks, or anything here now…are they???
WHAT ABOUT THE DERAILMENT IN OREGON!!!!! 2000 LBS OF DIESLE IN YAQUINA RIVER!!
How is there only 42k views on this video
When the government telling you that your paint is white, it's white ! ! not caterpillar yellow like it's spelled on the can it come in….
Agenda 2030 of the WEF, all people will live in smart cities, while nature will be owned by the rich. Look at train crashes in past 2 weeks carrying chemicals and look at what ultimately what the populace will have to do! Who are the major share holders of these trains???!!!
these are planned attacks on america by the american government
You won't get answers, you'll get lies. Norfolk southern is not concerned about your families
