The use of phosgene gas is a war crime under the Geneva Protocol.

Our government just released a trainload of it into the Ohio air, and is telling people it’s safe to go home.

So your position is that “the government” is attacking their own citizens in rural Ohio with chemical warfare? Does that actually make sense to you?

The Biden administration turned down a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the aftermath of the train derailment in the state earlier this month that led to a large release of toxic chemicals.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio's state government that it was not eligible for disaster assistance to help the community recover from the toxic spill, Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for DeWine, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Tierney explained that FEMA believed the incident didn't qualify as a traditional disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane, for which it usually provides assistance.

"The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time," DeWine's office said in a statement earlier in the day. "Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided."

It’s called “the law” but we all know that is a foreign concept to partisan trolls.

This, from FEMA website:

"Any occasion or instance--such as a hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, fire, explosion, nuclear accident, or any other natural or man-made catastrophe--that warrants action to save lives and to protect property, public health, and safety"

How can this disaster not qualify, but funeral services for Covid 19 are covered?

FEMA website: "If you are covering the cost of a COVID-19 funeral, FEMA may be able to help."
"You may qualify for up to $9,000 per funeral for expenses."

Good for Biden. I do not understand why the EPA is in Ohio. Those people hate the federal government, rules and regulations, EPA, etc. Republicans want to cut federal spending start in Ohio. A make them pay for their own mess. Seriously it is a home grown Ohio republicans self made mess. Maybe the6 should start fining the people complaining about the train wreck!

Lots of those people are low income Amish and Mennonite hard working farmers. No doubt we’ve all eaten food from their crops.

You are an utter embarrassment to this country. Shame on you with your hatred on this thread.

Another derailment of a train carrying hazardous waste, this time in Michigan. https://www.wxyz.com/news/crews-on-scene-of-train-derailment-in-van-buren-township

[Anonymous]

Trump rolled back more than a dozen regulations on rail safety and hazardous waste transport and now the chickens are coming home to roost.

STOP rolling back regulations, Republicans.

Regulations are not created out of thin air by rooms full of bored bureaucrats with nothing better to do than dream up regulations. They come about because of repeated corporate screwups, disasters and outright malfeasance.

Yes, Norfolk Southern is supposed to pay for relief and recovery, not FEMA. Just like BP, not the government, was responsible for paying for the Deepwater Horizon spill.

You should be embarrassed that the same people who fight against helping anyone else now have their hands out for themselves. After also gutting the protections that would have saved them from this happening in the first place. Care to respond to this specific point or are you just going to deflect endlessly?

Thank you. The biggest environmental catastrophe in American history absolutely qualifies. Residents say their pond water has turned rainbow colored. What’s wrong with this administration? Has environmental concern suddenly evaporated?

It’s the law. EPA is doing its job. NTSB is doing its job. But for major environmental incident the corporate polluter has to be required to pay for the relief and compensation.
