Keep reporting on this topic!! These people deserve safety!!

[quonslecn]

I'd bet anything that none of those "authorities" would be willing to live in the area or drink the water.

[txbre]

LMFAO. They had the train company investigate themselves? Get out of here!

[gailsmith]

You guys are a little late to the game aren't you? Where was your coverage last week? Thanks for keeping us up to date

[redaa]

It's not toxic but thousands of fish have died. Brilliant.

[aj]

It scares me how under reported this is. It's obviously being kept under as tight a lid as possible to then be swept under the rug eventually. We need to keep talking about this and keep hammering not just questions but ANSWERS to those questions.

[jeffhampton]

They are being lied to. The people need to do their own testing.

[jeromehowell]

Amazing..How does the safety detector allow a Hot Wheel be dragged 20 miles and the engineer not know it ? No one wants to answer that..

[coins.]

Where were the chemicals going to? People from Ohio are very concerned. This has polluted our air quality. Where’s FEMA? And what about the Red Cross?

[p.e.]

Look at the companies that are invested in these trains and you will understand everything else 😉

[LorddVader]

Make the Norfolk Southern CEO drink the water. I bet he says no.

These Pennsylvania train derailment chemicals have combined with the rain clouds.

The entire North Eastern United States will be having these chemicals rained down on them.

They need to show the chemical smoke and vapor plum of pollutants on a map.

This way there is a map of danger zones people know to be cautious of and in.

This kind of map should be easy and fast to produce by using weather data.

This is the kind of transparency that would be the most helpful.
And the sooner it's available for use by everyone the better.

5 years from now is un-expectible.

IT'S NEEDED NOW..

Don't except any lies it can't be done.

This will help point blame where it belongs.

It will also help possibly a million people from still getting harmed or getting harmed even more.

This is the 21st century.

Technology needs to be used now. Early while it's the most important.

THIS IS A MATTER THAT EFFECTS EVERY AMERICAN.

NEXT TIME THIS MAY BE IN YOUR BACK YARD, STATE OR TOWN.

DON'T LET BIG BUSINESS GET AWAY WITH THIS.

AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS AND NOT CORPORATIONS.

FIGHT NOW FOR THE TRUTH AND THE MAPS THAT WILL SHOW EXACTLY WHERE THE WORST PROBLEMS ARE.

EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN DESERVES THIS INFORMATION NOW...

Authorities, experts, that have no clue what's going on or what they are doing.

[markthegamedriver]

The fact this was predicted in a movie is not surprising

[labrat-mvxi]

make trains safer or get them away from our small towns. if this happened in my town half the town would be wiped out we have so many houses and business near train tracks that run everyday

[Brian-gxyx]

Where did these chemicals come from?
Where were the chemicals going?
What are these chemicals used for?
What was the cause of this derailment of the train?
Who decided they chemical will be burned?
Is the combination of these chemicals more severe than just one chemical isolated?
Who said the air is SAFE?
Who is paying for bottled water?
How are property values effected?
Is it safe to bath or shower?
EPA falsely report the air was safe after 9/11 and many people have died and are dying

[carolyn]

Thank you for reporting on this!!! They need help!

[monita]

Not only this city is influenced, but the whole area of other cities and farms and water of the route of streams

[Getchrochet]

Really hope these tax paying citizens get all the help they can. One man has a rash on his face, people with red draining eyes, bad throat problems, animals dying. But their allowing them to go back? It should be considered a contaminated area until they can prove in a court of law it's safe. I am truly sorry for these American citizens. Two more years and we might have an actual President in charge of this Nation.

I vote that the next CPAC be held in this town.
