Don't forget the 43,000+ dead aquatic life in a 5 mile radius of the crash site.
-
Biggest lawsuits coming out of this. Total neglect
-
Imagine setting the train on fire to protect Ohio when in reality they are collecting the fire insurance
-
Not an accident. This is not an accident. This was done on purpose.....
-
I'm an Ohio resident and I don't know much about chemicals but it seems to me that burning a chemical to "get rid of it" isn't showing any common sense. If you can get poison ivy from a bonfire, then you can get liver cancer from burning vinyl chloride.
-
Also a dam built near East Palestine park to hold a massive amount of toxic water broke and sent that water flowing EVERYWHERE.
-
So the train cars carrying the vinyl chloride were not damaged. In that cace isn't there a way they could have transferred into something else instead of burning it?
-
My family lives in Cleveland. I'm so worried about them.
-
This timeline included the maintenance, calibration, and policy of all Class 1 railroads, which did not put people and the environment first.
-
They knew the bearing was heating up for a total of 3 sensors
-
Looks like a Class Action law suit to me.
-
That train was headed for my neighborhood. Sending prayers to Ohio I hope nobody was hurt.
-
Wow, the level of pollution 😮
-
They will never admit they f…..k up
-
I live 7 miles from the derailment. Should I get my water and soil tested
-
Why are they dumping the toxic soil in parts of Michigan ⁉️
-
American archaic infrastructure. Maybe America should blame the Chinese for being the world's leaders in infrastructure and fast speed rail. Maybe America should blame the Japanese for having bullet trains in 1964 when The Beatles released their first record album. How backward? 59 years backward.
-
If someone sees a train with several wheels on fire, and does not know how to contact the railroad operations center, call the police. Police will find out how to contact the operations center.
-
Why did they not bring in cooling foams and drop it onto the cars from the air? They burned for over 24 hours with out leaking anything and they could of waited on all kind of federal and other out of state aerial fire support during that time. They have 3 large rivers right across state lines they could of pulled water out of for bucket drops of water to keep those cool. But digging a hole and lighting it all up was best choice?

Erin Brockovich is on the case though. She'll set them straight
