"Government released"? Was that a government-owned train on a government-owned railroad?
It's called Amtrak, government owned for decades now.

Nature is the great recycler.
“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.”

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
Amtrak is a passenger service. How is it related to this particular covfefe?
What's coming?
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.

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.

And if your money are in some Vanguard funds you own that railroad too.
Eric F. Coppolino Is At The Cutting Edge Of The Palestine, Ohio Story, And What He Reports Based On Deep Knowledge Of Dioxin, Is, I'm Sorry To Say: NOT GOOD. At all.
“Most coverage of the train wreck in Palestine, Ohio is missing one word: dioxin. There were reportedly 14 tanker cars full of vinyl chloride, a precursor to polyvinyl chloride — that is, vinyl. Burning vinyl is the most serious source of dioxin in the environment — whether from trash incinerators, house fires or chemical spills.
“While vinyl chloride is a precursor chemical to making PVC, any time chlorinated compounds burn there will be dioxins created. And dioxin is a manufacturing byproduct of any manufacturing process involving chlorine, from “disinfectants” to the bleaching of paper. There was plenty of dioxin in those tanker cars before they caught fire. ...

Celia garner appears to be an idiot since there can be no dioxins in these rail cars BEFORE they were SET ON FIRE by the idiots who wanted to mitigate spill

No. Vanguard ownership is completely private and undisclosed. My only surprise with that list is Blackrock got edged out for #2.
How so? All Vanguard does is managing mutual funds and ETFs. There is no way to legally do anything "private and undisclosed" in that area.

Ok, show me a list of their shareholders.
What would that list prove or disprove? No matter who your shareholders are if you manage mutual funds this activity is highly regulated with pretty strict oversight. Besides, doesn't it have ownership model when the company is owned by the mutual funds it oversees, meaning that by homding a Vanguard mutual fund you are one of the shareholders?
