The train should not have been cargo-ed with that much toxic material, number one. There is the EPA telling residents that the water is OK, because it has been tested in many residents. The Mayor is telling residents to drink bottled water. 20 miles down wind, birds and fish are dead and still no declaration of a disaster area. I hope for the best but I suspect this will have impact far down wind and down stream.
This is a fallout chart, but it shows general wind direction. That cloud won't be limited to Ohio for long and it's going to be harder to brush this under the rug when the animals that are dying are humans.
Had a tanker down here flip over a few days ago full of some stinky chemical, Anything on national news? Hell no, Clean cut case of Fatassism on the drivers part. What's on the news? Pimple headed Cracker dude shooting up a supermarket in buffalo ny.
We might get press coverage now that Pete Buttjgieg has found a way to blame... wait for it... Trump. In 2018 the Trump administration withdrew a proposed rule from 2015 that would require trains transporting hazardout materials to be equipped with Electronically Controlled Electronic (ECP) brakes because the technology benefits were inconclusive. Therefore Donald J Trump is personally responsible. Pete, however, did not mention why this vital life saving technology rule was not reintroduced during the last two years by himself and the Biden administration and then implemented. In any event this assures at least some coverage by MSNBC, CNN, and the Drudge Report. ‘WE’RE CONSTRAINED’: Pete Buttigieg blames Trump for Ohio train derailment in face of criticism
The EPA is telling everyone that the air quality is better than before the accident...these are the same people that told the first responders working the World Trade Center after 911 that the air was safe to breath! I wouldn't trust them about the water either! Those are some NASTY chemicals!
Fifty years ago in 1973, I was working in a power generating station inside the Joliet Arsenal. The entire bottom of a 3 story nitric acid vessel just dropped out and released the entire contents on the ground, We were just across the road, less the 200 feet away, All our big overhead doors were open, as it late spring. All I can say is thank God the wind was out of the east that morning. That in it self was strange, as it was almost always just the opposite; out of the west. There was a huge plume of smokey, orange vapor that engulfed everything to the west for almost 3 miles. It cut a path almost 500 ft. wide. Everything in it's path was turned the same color as the acid and everything was dead. Trees plants, and all critters caught in it. The bulk of the liquid nitric that did not out gas and turn into vapor would wind up making it's way to the Kankakee river. Somehow there were no "reported" fatalities. If the wind was blowing out of the west that morning, I would not be celebrating my 50th wedding anniversary this May. I would not even had a chance to run away, I would be dead...
Back in the late 1970s I was stationed at Tyndall AFB, Fl. near Panama City. I drove home to Tallahassee (about 115 miles) every weekend then back. Once I had an extra day off. Had I been on Highway 231 just north of Panama City my normal time I would have driven into a huge cloud of chlorine gas released when a train derailed there! Lucky me.
Was checking out the weather channel this morning and couldn't help but notice that the weather patterns were carrying anything that might still be in the atmosphere toward New England. I'm sure that the snowflakes up there will squall bloody murder with every breath they take as they stand out in the rain protesting and demanding that someone do something! Nothing gets the MSM attention like a story that inpacts NY, NJ and Conn.!
There is not one government agency that has not been corrupted by the left wing. we are governed by liars, cheats, thieves and media manipulation.
So what can we look for more train derailments, attacks on the power grid, food processing plant fires --I'd like to know
