Toxic Fog: The Aftermath in East Palestine, Ohio | CBS Reports

Mike Dewine should be in jail for this. We live 1.5 hrs from East Palestine. Our friends had to move from this city because they were getting sick, with headaaches and rashes. Its unfortunate how the people in East Palestine have been pushed aside.😢

Not one person ever came to my house and told me to leave. This happened in front of my house.

Thank you CBS from East Palestine 🙏

So who will take the blame when it’s proven they been lying 🤥 after a few years.

Thank you Jennifer L. Homendy and NTSB for standing up and doing what’s right. Getting trains back online is the number one priority. Profits over safety is the name of the game. #Shameful #Greed #Safety #MakeThemWholeAgain

as an Ohioan and nature lover I was extremely outraged by the company what were they thinking cutting corners

Scares me huge train cargo from tanks to toxic crap 😮

They checked the soil, but did they check the water? Did they power wash the buildings to catch the particulate raining down on them during the burn-off?

It's crazy that the polluter is allowed to hire the contractor to monitor levels of pollution. How cam the EPA do it's job when they don't really know everything going on since the polluter and their contractors are almost always lying.

Shameful what the people of East Palestine have been through, and shameful of the response from this Administration and the aftermath.

Why did it take this long for you guys to report on this for more than two minutes

What that guy from Norfolk said should be used in court because to me, that sounded like admitting to not adhering to safety regulations because it’s not “supportive of a healthy business environment” aka, doesn’t make them enough profits 🙄

Chemicals can be absorbed into homes (IAQ/absorbable material) differently than outdoors (wind and nonporous material being one difference) and the fact the EPA "expert" doesn't understand is disturbing. The water supply and the EPA respnse is also concerning.

But isnt this the way they do things? Something horrific like this happens,.... then weeks later..you hear the aftermath thats not good. Always!!....Pray for these people and all of us.. This was a test folks.

WILL NEVER KNOW HOW MANY TAX PAYERS GOT TOXIC FROM THIS TRAIN WRECK. AHHH THE HUMANITY.

Question 1: Can the railroad refuse to carry some cargo because it's dangerous? No. Question 2: Did having two crewmen in the cab make a difference? Nope, neither looked backward to see the 60' flame coming from their train. Question 3: When the railroads complained that Nancy Pelosi's new PTC signal system would cause them to divert safety expenditures with little advantage, did the government relent? No. Question 4: Did the hideously expensive PTC system prevent the accident? No.

Where's the grand jury investigation ????????????????????????????

I live all the way East in New Hampshire, just about as far East in the US you can go from this disaster besides the state of Maine, and also just happen to be located right underneath where the weather patterns from Ohio come from. For the whole week during this disaster, the rain left a white film on all our vehicles and dark surfaces outside. ALL parking lots that had rain puddles had a rainbow color liquid floating around in the puddles, and I don't believe it was fuel or oil products. The fact that we in NH, five states and a 10 hour drive away from Ohio, were [likely] seeing the environmental ramifications from this disaster, means Ohio and surrounding Pennsylvania must be absolutely affected in the long term. I pray for you all.

I hope as a follow up there will be an interview with Pete Buttigieg . He has responsibility here.

Mayor Trent Conaway’s leadership during East Palestine’s time of need was inadequate. I recommend that the citizens of East Palestine consider voting for a candidate who will prioritize their best interests.
