Ohio train derailment: Company facing multiple lawsuits in connection

WKYC reported that the company, Norfolk Southern, chose to skip the town hall meeting regarding the train derailment.

Residents of the Ohio village upended by the freight train derailment packed a school gym on Wednesday to seek answers on whether they were safe from toxic chemicals that spilled or were burned off.

Hundreds of worried people gathered to hear state officials tell them — as they did earlier in the day — that testing so far has shown that local air is safe to breathe and to promise that safety testing of the air and water would continue.

The media should be held accountable for widely censoring this story too. This affects literally all of us here

[Sticky-Situation]

If you are really interested in this story, look at the map and look how the water flows from the Ohio river. This is not just about that town, this impacts All of us. Whole ecosystems have been destroyed.

I hope that train company is bled dry of everything of value they own. Justice for the victims above all else.

The rail company and the governor need to be held accountable!

To bad Ohio isn’t Ukraine or some other country otherwise they would have been sent a lot of help and resources

Lord I pray over every person in Ohio. Keep them safe and protected under the shadows of your wings Lord. In Jesus name!

Easy solution. Bail the company our with billions of tax dollars, give 500 million to the CEO so he'll retire, wait for the next accident and repeat

Welcome to flint Michigan, of course it's still safe there. Just make sure to boil the water before you drink, bathe or use it in your food. If by any chance you start to glow in the dark, the water was not heated properly.

Who ever lite the fire should be held accountable for damage to air.

Oh wow, yeah that’s real comforting. Everything is all better now!

Can we once and for all treat companies like a person like they always say?? Start arresting Ceo's and board members for killing other people and destroying their homes.

As an American, we should take care of our own, yet we've been taking care of other countries such as Ukraine. Billions of dollars sent to another country, whilst our people from Ohio are being left with more questions than answers and no help. Hold the Government accountable, including Biden, the Governor of Ohio and the company responsible.

[nickdavis]

Shouldn't the governing body be held responsible for the injuries after the "disposal"?

[bitninja]

The government is working overtime protecting the companies involved. We need the names of the companies involved and the names of the CEOs. ✊

The corporate greed caused this tragedy.
I hope that the lawsuits benefy the affected

US gov/Media: Look at all those Chinese Balloons!
While at the same time in East Palestine Ohio, America's Chernobyl happen. Quiet as a whistle for weeks.

It was military train did you all forget military put a block around the train and allow no one in

[KtheGEvr]

I was wondering what they were covering up with those dumb spy ballons

[eksbocks]

If the fish can't survive in the water, I don't think it's safe for people.

[matthewmullings]

I feel like this was some kind of attack that they’re trying to cover up
