The railroad started the fire on purpose so they didn’t have to do an expensive cleanup fact

0.32. Some local farmers worry about how the toxic plume of smoke from a CONTROLLED RELEASE might affect their crops. What does controlled release mean ?

[lisascott]

The governors of Ohio and Pennsylvania should take the responsibility. They gave the final decision to burn those toxic chemicals. Do not forget that.

The fight is for all you across America, , , ! Too many derailments in States, , . Keep the pressure on.

[trinityjcbranch]

Just a million dollars!!! What an insult to these precious people who just want help so they & their families don’t get sick from their mistakes…
A million dollars won’t even cut it when everyone there & their neighbors start getting sick & possibly dying from this.. The Railroad won’t have near enough money for all the lawsuits which will stem from this…. Help them the correct way!!! No matter the cost, time or effort!!😡

[pbgf]

1 million crumbs.
What a joke.
Shame on the government and shame on the railroad industry.
