Best advise. Dont take any form of compensation, dont let them pay for hospitalization, food, It will be considered as a settlement fee. Go straight to a lawyer.

"The water is safe", says every town, city, and state that has water pollutants.

Thank you to all independent media for not letting this story die out.

[IndianaMint]

This is terrifying that the government was like "come on back"

[dsteww]

I’m glad to see the citizens are fighting back against this corruption. I hope everyone in that town gets a huge settlement.

Seems like they are getting the flint Michigan treatment (btw after 6 years flint still doesn't have safe water lmao)

Employees are not the ones who should be there answering questions, it's the ones who line their pockets with money that should've went to upgrades and proper maintenance and new trains and railroads. That's who should be there answer questions not employees.

If the news story didn't break, just imagine how much more important stuff is being covered up and blacked out by the media.

If anyone thinks the water is good you are absolutely insane!!

[armadatint]

I bet the CEO is proud of the money they saved on keeping on a full staff . And especially the buy backs that fattened board members wallets !!

It's a shame the United States government isn't for the innocent instead of the rich,

[Meggerz]

The government doesn’t care. They will tell the public what they want to hear and that’s it. They need to fight back for months to come or move. If you can smell it, it’s there.

They said the air was safe in Manhattan in early 2001 🤷‍♂️ remember how that turned out

[ckoritko]

It’s amazing how little coverage this is getting!

[jasonruggles]

Why isnt anyone mentioning the company offered $25, 000 to the city to not sue. A town of 5000, thats $5 a person.

"The water is safe" while filming dead fish floating in it. I pray for the residents and surrounding towns.

Real Americans are with you East Palestine. Bring them to account. The federal government and their buddies, the railroad bosses need to be brought to justice!
Now.

[ambervanwhy]

Our government is shameful. This should have immediately been declared a state of emergency.

[meangeliadenise]

It's only a matter of time before the people start to experience the same symptoms. 😥

[whatspoppin]

Sue the governor who authorized the “controlled burn”
