Those same chemicals and worse travel by rail all thru the mountain and western states. Are we going to soon be seeing derailed tankers burning off toxic fumes in Montana or Wyoming or Oregon? or even British Columbia?
Ultimately, toxins from Ohio are going to reach the Gulf, having spread thru the bayous. (((They))) could just as easily derail another train somewhere near other major rivers.
These people are fucking evil.

some exercpts below
> This is absolutely tied to the strike shutdown. They were literally fighting for stricter safety controls and the extra manpower to enforce them. This is exactly what happens when corporate "runs" the company.
>They knew they were riding on faulty equipment but dispatch had them try and squeak it out. Total negligence on all parties every step of the way, if it wasn't planned this way (white noise). So many details are questionable as fuck. Heads need to roll on this one.
>Also why were they carrying this particular combo of chemicals, you would never store some of these near each other so why would you ship them together in that qty. Why the fuck would the local pd/fd decide to burn this shit at such a low temp?
> This. Three mile long trains are inherently unsafe. This was specifically part of the strike. Biden AND the Republicans told them to go back to work or go to jail.
> I thought the crew disappeared because they were diversity hires but then I found out the train's destination was a Norfolk Southern switchyard only 20 miles away from East Palestine. So the boomer managers probably told the crew to keep on rolling and they would deal with any flaming wheels there.
> They were carrying these chemicals together because they were all going to the same customer and they wanted to make it easy to cut out those tanker cars. Just lazy corner cutting again.

Heres to hoping it blows into canada instead.
There is a good reason the people in Appalachia have been screwed over as much as they have. They have no part in modern society with ideas like egalitarianism or people over money. Pfff get out of here with that shit.
It's why they have deprived the area of industry's they used to have (steel mills in portsmouth ohio for example) and the people are often painted at racist, inbred, etc by the media. Have no problem destroying the land to make a profit through coalmining, fracking, or just straight raping natural resources like the trees.
Not saying glowie is wrong he absolutely isnt, but this is just another fuck you in a big long list of fuck you's by our corporate owners.
People from appalachia will never have the same opportunity's as people in the mainstream.
Tough being an invisible minority :/.
