Ohio train derailment burning toxic chemicals

The news stories linked by that PP doesn't address that question -- just says DeWine had some discussions and the EPA says the situation isn't eligible at this time.

No Dewine said no hep

Dewine and Vance-are the problem

It’s probably a good example of environmentalists still not putting enough attention on these issues that affect poor people. That’s where these hazmat train lines run. It’s all really upsetting.

I’m really upset as well because this administration is denying FEMA help. When did that ever happen before? Is it because these people are low-income white people? Or because it’s Amish and Mennonites? This is unprecedented.

It is all over the news, surprised you are questioning it.

I'm not surprised at the question. I'm surprised that this would qualify for the same type of federal agency response as, say, flooding.

This is the worst environmental catastrophe in American history. EPA is lying when it tells residents and the Governor it’s ok to stay there, yet THEY put on full hazmat gear if THEY show up. Even indoor pets have been found dead.

People are suffering serious health effects, along with livestock. There is a fear of groundwater contamination.

The company is owned by Vanguard and Black Rock, so no surprise on the media blackout.

Hadn't heard that. This is not good for their ESG reports I guess.

There’s definite ground water contamination. No living water creature has survived the highly toxic chemicals.

Crickets, of course. It’s obviously the most massive dose of carcinogenic chemicals our government released into our air, ground and water. They should have contained it and taken it away. But hey, it was faster to blow it up and quickly get the trains rolling.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. When I called you on your extravagant claim, this is the best you can come up with. You clearly don’t have enough information to remotely back up your assertion because nobody does.

Trump announces he's visiting and within moments the federal government announces they are providing help. JFC, they are so afraid of Trump. This is too funny. Good for the people of Ohio, they deserve so much more than what our government is doing to them.

Trump is a delusional old man. I’ll bet he couldn’t even tell you who won the last election.
