There was a reporter who was tackled, handcuffed and taken away for trying to report on it.

The Congressman mentioned foxes were found dead hadn't been evacuated. Implying the owners failed to adhere to the mandatory evacuation. However the farm raised foxes that died were 10 miles away from the mandatory evacuation zone. As for "the area has been cleaned up". That could only mean "the site" has been cleaned up. Not the area. We are now in the denial phase of this environmental disaster. It only gets worse from here.

Don't forget this is being under reported

So yeah, remember a few weeks ago when Congress stopped the rail workers from striking over labor conditions? Apparently this was a wheel bearing failure that went un-noticed by overworked and understaffed rail workers... Just imagine if there'd been a couple extra people working.. Maybe they would have caught this? Maybe not... But the timing is pretty indicative of what happened.

Why has it taken over a week for the media to notice this?

[jakegarcia]

We can smell it 3 hours east. A mentholic sensation in the nose. Unbelievable.

What’s really gonna blow your minds is that Netflix literally made a movie about a train crashing in Ohio with toxic chemicals forcing the residences to evacuate the state. This movie was made before this event happened. BTW the movie is called white Noise and it’s a terrible movie.

This was meant to downplay the destruction. There's more than a few fish in a little creek. This is in the Ohio river! Not to mention the animals in wooded areas that they don't know about and what are the long term effects? Plus he never answered about the government being there to help because they are NOT there! Not even red cross!!

Not much coverage of this tragedy

I guess transgender rights is More important

America's Chernobyl.

The USSR had the decency to evacuate the locals, set them up with hotel vouchers and healthcare for life.

Here in the richest country ever, we get nothing. This is the type of response that warrants a violent response from citizens. They don't care about our lives so we need to remind them who really keeps this country running.

I am originally from Canfield Ohio, @ 10 miles NW of E. Palestine. I think this is going to have a huge impact on people in the area.

February 3 and we are just now hearing about this? And can that guy stutter anymore? This is awful

[storyteller]

This is why all media have been attacking the balloon recently.

[denmar]

Why is there a near media blackout in all the tragedy taking place with this? This is a massive disaster. Something is not right about this lack of coverage!

Two other train derailed last week, infrastructue in the US is falling apart.

Burning that chemical was comically stupid

[scottberresford]

How about testing the soil. I live a block away from the wreck. Called NS toxicology number to have my soil tested. They said no. They are not testing soil.

[李彬彬-sx]

That place, it's not safe. Get out of there as soon as possible. The land, the river, it's infected

[ZilogBob]

One report said that *phosgene* was released. Wasn't that one of the chemical weapons used in World War 1?

This is American Chernobyl
And they are covering it up.
