Thousands of gallons of carcinogenic vinyl chloride has spilled and burned in Ohio from a 50-train car derailment. Nobody in the media is talking much about it. I wouldn’t move back to the town or that area for a while if I were living near there.

This may be one of the largest ecological disasters in US history.
There were roughly 100,000 gallons or 1,000,000 pounds of Vinyl Chloride leaked, spilled and burned at #EastPalestine crash.
Acid rain and Phosgene will decimate the zones ecology.

They’re saying this is now safe to return to?? Vinyl chloride, when burned, creates hydrogen chloride and phosgene (a toxic chemical used during WW1). That’s going to come back down with rainfall and most likely poison the water and soil.

“My chickens were perfectly fine before, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and they died,”
“If it can do this to chickens in one night, imagine what it’s going to do to us in 20 years”
Yeah—evacuate your families.

“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist. Rail company Norfolk Southern is paying just $25k to the town, or ~$5 per resident

Õnnetust kajastama läinud ajakirjanik arreteeriti
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — A broadcast reporter was pushed to the ground, handcuffed and arrested for trespassing Wednesday while covering a news conference about the derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Ohio.
About 50 train cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash Friday night on the edge of East Palestine. Federal investigators say a mechanical issue with a rail car axle caused the derailment.
Nearby residents in Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania were ordered to evacuate when authorities decided on Monday to release and burn chemicals from five tankers filled with vinyl chloride, sending hydrogen chloride and the toxic gas phosgene into the air.
NewsNation posted video of correspondent Evan Lambert being arrested in the gymnasium of an elementary school in East Palestine where Gov. Mike DeWine was giving an update about the accident.
Lambert was held for about five hours before being released from jail, NewsNation reported.
