Leland Vittert says the people of East Palestine just don’t believe it. Tricia Macke with WXIX in Ohio is outside an open house on derailment concerns, where she says the governor and Norfolk Southern are not present.

All states should be monitoring all water supplies that pull from The Ohio River and Mississippi.

All safe….bs! We’ve heard that before 🤬

[TinaMarie-qbrq]

these people are in trouble, i’m praying for miracles for them because these headaches are the beginning of death.

The rush to get them back home was to get the trains back up and running. The priority was the profits of the company.

[B.T.]

That’s because it’s all down stream now heading down the Ohio River and down the Mississippi River.

seriously ! this doesn't look good.

The railroad backed out of the town hall because of death threats
The entire Ohio river water basin is contaminated
There was a movie about this out on Netflix a few months ago
This is the largest ecological disaster!
I live 25 miles north of there and my eyes burned after the ‘controlled burn’
Happy hunting Ohio

Why is not the main news headlines ffs

[iridefast]

The Ohio river valley destroyed. Why because it’s Republican .

[bdubb]

Run...run..run. It's killing animals. I'd be gone with family. No chances!!

[zudemaster]

Government burns tankers full of toxic chemicals in a neighborhood surrounded by houses - its fine. Nothing to worry about. Meanwhile if those people in that town were to go in their back yard and burn a old pile of leaves or some random trash they would get a hefty fine and threatened with arrest.

[RosieGaelic]

Norfolk Southern needs to answer on why lack of maintenance. The REPUGS rolled back the regulations!

[Kartzchen]

The Governor is full of it, and should be forced to drink the water and breathe the air. How about eating a dead fish to prove everything is safe

[nancy]

It looks like nuclear fallout from a nuclear explosion! Scary!

[deficator]

its been 2 days since epa said its safe and over, what could they have done in 2-3 days to comfirm this. theres no way they'd figure it out that fast.

[brett]

How did these railroad companies get past regulation and allowed to transport these toxic chemicals?

[billbkrify]

Is there a video showing the full meeting and not just a 30 second clip? Or is it being shadow banned?

[kidayuki]

I'll calm down when the governor goes for a swim in the river

[jamesstrickland]

The shame is that a security video just came out that shows that there was a railcar in that train had a brake fire on the leading wheel truck that was spreading in a town 20 miles away from where it derailed.

No one wants to live in Ohio and no one ever wants to play for their sports teams
