Solo Into East Palestine, OH - What’s It Like Now? 🇺🇸

Most of us have seen the footage from the toxic train derailment that happened in East Palestine, Ohio, on February 3, 2023. But like most major events, the cameras disappear, but the story stays. So today, we're going to East Palestine to hear from the locals about what things are like now and how the town has changed.

I like going to places where big events happened, but time has allowed the dust to settle; it usually offers a unique perspective. Most cameras disappear, but the story stays. What is that story like from the locals now? Always keep in mind that the people I talk to are the people I talk to. If I had gone to East Palestine on a different day, there would have been a completely different set of people to whom I would have talked to. This video provides an angle into the East Palestine story, and there are many angles in. There could be a whole video about Norfolk Southern, or one focused solely on agencies involved in the cleanup. Nobody has all the information, watch other content on the topic, keep an open mind and always ask questions. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for not having clickbait titles or thumbnail shots with you covering your mouth & gasping in disbelief. Your channel is on-the-ground journalism, not tabloid fodder.

I always find it strange that the media talks about an issue like this for 2-3 days, then tries to act like it never happened. Good on you Peter for addressing this very real situation.

[TyTheCarGuy]

That couple on the porch speaks about the subject so clearly that I can obviously tell it's weighing on their minds every single day...

My buddy is a chemist . Like he had said, " When they lit those cars on fire, they injured everyone breathing in the area . See when poly vinyl chloride was burned and it went up and hit the clouds ( water ) . It turned into Hydrochloric Acid that EVERYONE was breathing !" ...
They did the cheapest way to dispose of chemical and get the railroad back running .
$$$$ over lives .. Sad 😢

To have to pay taxes on settlement $ of 70K is insult to injury.

Anyhow, Peter just has zero fear of people. It doesn't matter how many people are around he will just walk up and socialize. That today is a hard thing to do for a lot of people. I give you props on many different levels.

Peter, regardless of someone’s position on this topic, I want to thank you for being an actual reporter. It’s so typical of the mainstream media, not do the hard work that you do.

[helenbeagle]

Please keep shedding light on this.... The couple, being interviewed on the front of their porch, know exactly what is going on.

[billdent]

We continue to pray for all those people impacted by that disaster.

I’m 45 minutes south of East Palestine and could feel the burning in my nose and eyes. Good luck to these folks, don’t trust the big money involved with the testing!

[RickKatt-yi]

The family at the end really gave me classic vibes. Kids that weren’t raised on social media and really had no interest in it. The little boy in his overalls climbing the ladder with dad and the lemonade stand. Glad to see families in today’s world like that.

[BrianButterworth-sz]

I like how the kids are outside riding bikes, skate boarding and hanging out like they should.

[whitegrizzleySR]

I feel for these people. I have worked in the plastics industry for 25 years (2 places) and breathed in the dust, smoke and chemicals and now I have COPD and struggle to breathe normal I hope that they don't have to go thru this.

[darkgreenbud]

The biggest thing out of this I got was the family talking about what mainstream media did people need to pay attention they literally said "we would tell them this is how it went and the next day when there story came out it was the exact opposite of what we said and if they do that here imagine what they do other places" she also said "I haven't watched mainstream media since this happened its a waste of life to watch that" people like Peter should be what media is going forward just someone that goes in with no bias or agenda and gets real stories from real people thank you for what you do sir

[spootnewton]

@PeterSantenello is the new face of journalism. Three million subscribers testify to that fact. Even on independent media, journalists willing to just tell the truth, as experienced by the people involved, are as rare as hen's teeth. Most Youtubers seem to be much more concerned about their agenda, views, and likes, than the truth, but at least a few shining beacons of truth like Peter can be found. I have to admit that I have been brought to tears a few times simply because people who have been silenced their whole lives had their story told truthfully for once by Peter.

[fckemweball]

i think its wild how mainstream media swept this under the rug so fast and nobody gives us an update, thank you Peter!
also the lady that said its not that bad i wonder if she’ll think the same in 20 yrs

[smokeyrandy]

Wow, that welder and his wife have an uncommon amount of common sense and common knowledge. Those children are incredibly lucky to have parents like that.

[ChristinePontius]

I can tell you as someone who lives about about a 1/2 hr from East Palestine that Erin Brockovich was in our town in April. I believe she went and spoke with ppl in E. Palestine. I think its important these ppl aren't forgotten, bc in 5-10 yrs, if there are health issues that arise, I would want her on my side.

"Are there a lack of balls around here?"
"Yeah."
Love the raw footage, Peter. Wish those affected the best.
