While the Secretary of Transportation Pete B. talked today about racist infrastructure projects, the train derailment in Ohio is creating an environmental disaster. That site needs to be identifed by the EPA as a superfund site.

Pete Buttigieg And Chernobyl in Ohio by Sam Faddis

I guess if you are going to be the worst President in American history you want a Transportation Secretary that is equally bad. Pete Buttigieg, the man who ran for President on a solid record of mediocrity and being gay, certainly fits that bill. Ask the people of East Palestine, Ohio.

Last Friday a train derailed in East Palestine, a small town near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Fifty cars went off the tracks. Ten of those carried various types of hazardous chemicals. Five of those cars were carrying liquid vinyl chloride. That comes out to 1,000,000 pounds of this dangerous toxic substance.

Where is Buttigieg, our Secretary of Transportation? Busy with other matters. In public announcements and comments recently, he has talked about the dangers posed by an excess of white people working in construction. He has also had time to talk about a book called “Song of Achilles” a gay rewrite of the Iliad. He hasn’t said a word about East Palestine, Ohio.

The area surrounding the burn is already feeling the impact of the release of the immense amount of acid in question. Fish are dying. Farm animals are dying. Contamination of the Ohio River has now been reported as far as West Virginia. The Ohio River feeds into the Mississippi.

"My video camera footage shows my chickens were perfectly fine before they started this burn, and as soon as they started the burn, my chickens slowed down and they died, said Amanda Breshears of North Lima. "If it can do this to chickens in one night, imagine what it is going to do to us in 20 years."

Basically, parts of Ohio will now be as healthy as some superfund sites....

Two More Trains Derail Across US After Ohio Catastrophe

I am saying it is a huge deal, worse than any other chemical spill in last 30 or so years that I am aware of. It will be living on land contaminated by dioxins which are really persistent and difficult to clean up. Oil is eaten up by bacteria so it does not persist and it is not that toxic. A lot of other stuff decomposes by time. This crap made when vinyl chloride burns does not. All I can wish to people in affected areas is to run away as fast as possible.

Bd6r says

I just wanted to point out this is true. When I was a little kid 45 years ago, I remember when it was claimed that plastic cups would not decompose for 1,000 years or so. I remember feeling bad about that, thinking the world would fill up with garbage.

It was bullshit. A plastic bottle left outside in 1980 might still exist as a bottle cap, and a few flecks of plastic, the rest has been completely decomposed.

All those styrofoam containers for Big Macs, they may exist in landfills, but if they were dumped as littler along a highway, the are entirely returned to the environment, their atoms in the soil or in living animals and plants. Still, probably better we moved to paper/cardboard.

I grew up in an area that was so desperately remote, I have run across PERSONAL dumps, where, 50 years prior, my grandparent's parents, discarded old buckets, machines, etc. You can still see them, sort of of. Parts of very rusted bicycles exist, I found a car door recently with the window intact, part of a bucket. Landfills preserve garbage, but much smaller dumping grounds do not. When I was a kid, there was a sort of local famous site where a car crash had happened, where the car was left behind to rust and rot. That car is entirely gone today, 40 years later. I don't think I could even find the location today where it used to be.

Nature is the great recycler.

This is a catastrophe of monumental proportions ...

Health Concerns Grow as More Toxic Chemicals Revealed on Derailed Ohio Train than First Made Public

Ban trains. Done. Any more problems need solving?

RWSGFY says

"Government released"? Was that a government-owned train on a government-owned railroad?

It was the government that decided to burn the chemical to "prevent an explosion."

HeadSet says

Why would they cover this up?

Kind of fucks up their narrative they just spent the last two years building, that only the government can keep you healthy.

RWSGFY says

"Government released"? Was that a government-owned train on a government-owned railroad?

It's called Amtrak, government owned for decades now.

Not sure if anyone remembers the threatened rail strike. They changed their systems a while back and totally fucked things up. Workers are on insane schedules now, that probably leave them more than a bit sleepy. Centralization at it's finest.

Amtrak is a passenger service. How is it related to this particular covfefe?

Yep, I remember this with the Deepwater Horizon spill.

"Much of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has disappeared because of bacteria. Oil-eating microbes have consumed a considerable portion of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Chemicals used to disperse the oil kept it underwater, making it more available to the microbes that live in the deeper portions of the ocean." - CNBC

“What EPA claims is the "safe" lifetime dose of dioxin — now raining down over Ohio and PA — is he weight of 1/32,000,000th (one thirty-two millionth) of an aspirin tablet.”

@DC_Draino
Is this really happening?

Netflix released a movie in 2022 called “White Noise” about a train crash in a sleepy Ohio town and how a chemical explosion forced people to evacuate

I’m not kidding

What the hell

There is no human trait more destructive than G.R.E.E.D.

It is not, appears Norfolk Southern is private. Reading through their Wikipedia page, I noticed it's not their first environmental disaster, and they were definitely part of that shitty scheduling system that's led to labor disputes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_railroading

I kind of heard about this White Noise movies shot for Netflix in 2021. Watched a more detailed breakdown of the Ohio situation last night, the movie takes place in Eastern Palestine, and even had extras in it from the town who are now living their roles in real life.

Also, saw this morning that most of Ohio is privately owned farmland. The odds of that movie covering the same scenario two years earlier in the same podunk town are astronomical. This was no accident. Just like the food facilities burning down...

BTW, in case you've forgotten, state governments have been hording food stores since 2020. I hope you're all prepared for what's coming.

You've got government storing food, while they destroy yours. Seems like they're setting you up to Eat Ze Bugs!

https://babylonbee.com/news/officials-remind-residents-of-east-palestine-to-protect-themselves-by-getting-their-covid-booster

EAST PALESTINE, OH — Government officials are warning residents of East Palestine to protect themselves from deadly health risks by making sure they've received the latest COVID booster.

"In light of the ongoing environmental and health crisis in rural Ohio, we are urging all citizens to make sure they are up to date on their vaccinations," said Ohio Health Department spokesperson Danze Pickleton. "The chemicals being spilled into the water and burned into the air are nothing compared to the deadly power of the latest variant XBB.1.5. Get your booster, East Palestinians!"

The Ohio DOH reiterated that it's essential to get vaccinated, especially if you are traveling to a new place after losing your home to a deadly chemical spill and are being forced to leave under threat of arrest.

"If there's one thing we care about here in government it's your health. Please get vaccinated," said Pickleton.

At publishing time, the Department of Transportation had recommended preventing future chemical spills by making everyone turn in their guns.

‘Bomb Train’ in Ohio Sickens Residents After Railroad Cutbacks, Corporate Greed Led to Toxic Disaster

From the article:

Fears of a wider health and environmental disaster are growing, after a 150-car freight train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed and a so-called controlled burn released toxic chemicals last week in East Palestine, Ohio.

Residents reported seeing a fireball and mushroom cloud of smoke fill the skyline. Data released by the Environmental Protection Agency shows the TRAIN CONTAINED MORE TGOXIC AND CARCINOGENIC CHEMICALS THAT INITIALLY REPORTED, including phosgene, a poisonous gas that has been used as a CHEMICAL WEAPON OF WAR.

Officials LIFTED AN EVACUATION ORDER for residents last Wednesday, SAYING THE AIR AND WATER WERE SAFE, but residents have reported sore throats, burning eyes and respiratory problems, and wildlife has been found dead.
