Health concerns remain after Ohio train derailment

Residents near a train derailment in Ohio are complaining of sore throats and headaches after chemicals were released during the controlled burn of derailed train cars. Officials are adamant there's no threat to human life, but Ohio's Natural Resources Department revealed an estimated 3,500 fish were killed.

No one will ever be held responsible for this

I love how they call it the "other big story" when it should be THE story.

[avgjayevryday]

Where is Greta and AOC? Why arent they saying anything?

[joffles]

Only in Ohio man, I knew Ohio would be the death of us all ☠️

[dawnguerriere]

Ohio has so much underground water and springs -of course they are contaminated and the Ohio river empties into the Mississippi.

0:14 "controled burn" ??? MORE LIKE "UNCONTROLED BURN"

However, five of the cars contained vinyl chloride, which becomes hydrogen chloride and phosgene when burned. Phosgene is the deadliest of the deadly gases that was used in chemical warfare during World War I.

It’s funny that this happened two weeks ago but the US mainstream medias were all focusing on a Chinese balloon at the time instead of this…😓

Probably why we have too many "balloon and UFO spotted". Keep them distracted and not focus on the real disaster.

[philomcmasters]

Isn’t the president going to address Ohio at all? Is he in his basement again? Jesus we sure can pick them

[Silvertarian]

Seems our government really cares about the environment. LMFAO

[dannmarceau]

Phosgene gas... "nothing to see here folks..."

[jeanzhang]

Why haven't we heard about this until a week later???? Too busy shooting ballons with fighter jets?

[abraxaseyes]

Can't wait to feed my family Ohio grown veggies and meat.

[paultsjan]

Why is the Biden administration not interested in what is happening in Ohio? The Biden White House doesn't seem to be interested in the environmental catastrophe.

[teresaellis]

This should of been the story for a week..shame on media

[donnalittle]

Since the train derailment you put fire to it poisoned the air, destroyed the food source dead fish and farm animals, and ended their water source poisoned.

[angelsfly]

No media in Europe talks! They Hide to the world this disaster!!!

[jonc]

Anyone here in the future after countless deaths and government lies?

You know, if Pete was really the man he portrays himself as then he would have saw this derailment as another golden opportunity to rise up to the occasion. He's clearly sees his position as just something to pad his resume with for when he eventually moves on to bigger and better thing and can't be bothered to get his hands dirty. I wouldn't be surprised if he lands a sweet position at Norfolk Southern.
