Mainstream news was very quick to abandon covering this shortly after it happened. Status Coup stayed there, did investigative reporting.

“It is safe. I’ve been here a year but don’t suffer from anything.” Yeah buddy, we’ll see in another year.

Palestine having a hard time. Whether it be in Ohio, Texas or the middle east.

[billfialkowski]

This is gonna be great. News wont show towns reaction they dont want him there. Stay away

[Hybris]

This is just another place that has been forgotten just like Maui. These are the *REAL* Palestinians we should be caring and aiding.

The stream that runs under the town is still contaminated.... 😢🙏💔

Have him drink a glass of tap water when he comes for a visit .

[offroadllc]

If he shows up offer him a scoop of water for testing. 🙂

[MenaceRacecar]

Oh, Norfolk Southern that caused it said its safe. Cool.

The poison train derailment is just a Biohazard cover-up at this point

[SusanDaschner]

Should have been declared a federal disaster a long time ago.

Remember this when you vote in the fall

I live all the way East in New Hampshire, just about as far East in the US you can go from this disaster besides the state of Maine, and also just happen to be located right underneath where the weather patterns from Ohio come from. For the whole week during this disaster, the rain left a white film on all our vehicles and dark surfaces outside. ALL parking lots that had rain puddles had a rainbow color liquid floating around in the puddles, and I don't believe it was fuel or oil products.
The fact that we in NH, five states and a 10 hour drive away from Ohio, were [likely] seeing the environmental ramifications from this disaster, means Ohio and surrounding Pennsylvania must be absolutely affected in the long term. I pray for you all.

But we gotta help Ukraine and Isreal 🙄

The reporter's solid, unblinking "you're full of it" glare at the NS employee is priceless.

Old man Biden didn’t go when it. Happened so if I were a resident of Ohio I would be pissed off if Biden came now

[dannydon]

1:24 they telling us this our face ACTIONABLE LEVELS 😢

[terrapinflyer]

Wtf. NOW Biden's finally going to show up? A year late 🤣 This world we live in...

My nephew went to East Palestine, Ohio to the train derailment to work at the site. He is now in need of a double lung transplant. He's been sick ever since he went to the site.

I hope everyone there gives him a FJB when he comes. But I bet its going to be a informal visit. Talk to ones in charge..take few photos. Maybe make some stupid speech and leave.
