- Their town was shrouded in clouds of black fumes after a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed - but when residents of East Palestine in Ohio tried to meet representatives of the train company last night demanding answers, the company didn't show up.

Local people say since the accident happened two weeks ago, they've had to fight to get the air and water tested - and still aren't sure what's safe.

"they screwed up our town they're gonna fix it" lobbyists laughing hard.
Yeah, I've never heard more empty words than those. That mayor will be dead from his weight or voted out of office long before this even sees a courtroom. I think he knows that and is just trying to manage the crowd so they don't riot

A year ago Netflix had a movie about a train derailment with toxic chemicals in Ohio and set on fire. Weird.
Yeah I heard, near the same town or the actual town. I will find it.

I'd be surprised if this won't cause long-term health problems
That is why immediate action needs to be taken. No long term lawsuit will help right now. They need help immediately, Benzene is a nasty chemical. The others are horrible too. What is done is done, but they should have a safe place to live until their town is rehabilitated if that is possible.

Land of freedom. They say
So, nearly two weeks after this happened channel 4 decides it's newsworthy.🙄
The answer is yes, I live 20 miles from the train wreck and we are sick every day now.
I live about 500 feet from CSX railroad tracks and they also haul those rounded chemical cars through our neighborhood. The tracks are elevated so if a derailment happened the hill on which the train would be falling from would speed up the roll and into my house they would be. The RR tracks are probably 100 years old and back then they would wind through these neighborhoods with no problem - but now 2 to 4 times a day the short trains haul the chemicals back and forth and back and forth. To make matters worse there is an industrial park on the other side of the tracks and people who work back there ignore the stop signs to stop at the tracks. It's an accident waiting to happen.
Can guarantee that those tracks aren't being maintained because downtime costs money too
Move
@Hunted Hunter the bourgeoisie?
Film it. This extreme negligence.!
This is bigger than we can imagine
I really feel sorry for them, but I would move out, because I think the chemicals in the soil will remain for at least three years.
Me too.
Sadly it's people who don't have the means to relocate, especially in these days and times.
Vinyl chloride is also an anaerobic biodegradation product of higher chlorinated compounds such as tetrachloroethylene and trichloroethylene. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 2980 mm Hg at 25 deg C indicates vinyl chloride will exist solely as a gas in the atmosphere. Gas-phase vinyl chloride will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals and ozone; the half-lives for these reactions in air are estimated to be 2.3 and 46 days, respectively. Vinyl chloride, exposed to light >290 nm for 17 hours was photo-degraded 15.3%. If released to soil, vinyl chloride is expected to have high mobility based upon a Koc of 57. Volatilization of vinyl chloride from soil has reported half-lives of 0.2-0.5 days at soil depths of 1 and 10 cm, respectively. Vinyl chloride may volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Vinyl chloride had a biodegradation rate of 1.456 ug/g soil/hr in soil. Vinyl chloride was degraded approximately 20-50% and 55-100% in 4 and 11 weeks, respectively, under anaerobic conditions in laboratory scale soil experiments. If released into water, vinyl chloride is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the Koc. The biodegradation half-life of vinyl chloride in aerobic and anaerobic waters was reported as 28 and 110 days, respectively. Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's Henry's Law constant of 0.0278 atm-cu m/mole. Estimated volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2 hours and 3 days, respectively. A Bio-Concentration Factor of 9.91 to >107 years.
This catastrophe can be compared to Chernobyl accident on nuclear power plant

Govenor of Ohio should resign for his inempt handling of the terrible incident.

According to Dewine everything is just fine He turned down Federal help

Those leaked chemicals are highly toxic. People in close proximity should be evacuated immediately. Once it’s in the river, it’s going to be extremely difficult to get rid off.

I feel awful for the people in this community- they are in serious trouble. You have to remember the past administration did their best to deregulate EPA laws that govern oil/ gas/chemical companies . The transport of these items needs higher regulation! The communities they are traveling through are in jeopardy! Wake up people! Those companies are NOT your friends! They only care about their bank accounts. Anyone who lives near a train track or an Interstate needs to be concerned. Any politician that tries to convince you that “regulations “ are government trying to take your freedom- has their hands in the pockets of these companies. I hope the people in this community get the help they need.
Regulations are there for a reason, lobbyists are there to try and remove and ignore them as much as possible to save money.
This happened on February 3rd. Why has it taken so long for Channel 4 News to report on this very major incident?
Started off as a small story being it was smothered, derailments are actually very common and there's been 4 so far this week (because companies are skimping so much on maintenance and safety for profit). the turkish/syrian earthquake took priority and the story's now developed where they can cover a large chunk
@@j377yb33n BS.
@@markandrews6054 the intentional explosion was done nearly a week after the initial derailment, with eyewitness details only filling in the preceding events, and local scientists pushing for coverage
Do not trust them when they said Air quality and water is safe.
Here you go taxpayers Fix this for us. We always pay for this in more ways then one.
Allllll kinds of federal regulations regarding Class 6 poison disposal protocols were broken. The whole reason behind the regulations is to avoid situations like this!
The Residents of Palestine, OH, vote for politicians that espouse small government and deregulation of industry. You get what you pay for and if you break it you buy it!
I agree, there are people that know.
These are federal and state regulations that were disregarded.
@@stephenwalker2924 It's gerrymandering. They try to vote out these people and they redraw the district lines to ensure they remain in power
@@stephenwalker2924 I wouldn't be quick to point the finger at the people, because let's be fair, both the democrats and republicans abandoned the working class and the rust belt. Trump rolled back the laws stipulating electronically controlled brakes for hazardous cargo, and Biden voted to block strike action for rail workers that have been warning about something like this for years.
Trump rolled back funding for EPA superfund sites, and it's not even on the list of promises that Biden's forgotten about. There's thousands of towns like this that have been forgotten about to decay for decades, so blaming the working class for the corporations screwing them over doesn't cut it
Does not take a scientist to figure out that if wildlife are affected so will human life be duhh
These poor people
LACK OF REGULATION will cause this kind of incident.
Forgotten regulations
Slackers not following proper procedures. I don't care for Dewine, but someone in his admin did come up with some procedures that were not followed, some news outlet reported it. So there is legal negligence on Nofuk Sthrn!

@@therealderrickwynne it’s a nuclear attack 😢there is another derailed train carrying deadly toxic chemicals. Near Detroit today. We are under attack secretly and they are not telling us we are at war 😮
@@StarDreamMemories That's what the rail strike bill in december was trying to address. The staff for the rail lines, for maintenance on tracks and on cars are so thin, that even if they do book holiday days as their sick days, there's no one to cover them. This isn't slackers, this is the corporation wringing as much profit as possible, because they know they won't have the clean up bill
BUT JOE BIDEN IS SOOOO GREEN 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The water and air is safe?
Here's my question.
Why does the government transport highly deadly and flammable materials throught a freaking town.
Also condolences and prays from scotland and poland (im bilingual btw)
Where is the EPA in all this?
sniffing cow farts
Gutted from the last administration, and yet to be rebuilt by the current one.
What are they going to do at this point? The EPA destroyed the Animas river in New Mexico a few years ago and tried to cover it up.
Only fools tout government agencies to fix problems.
SUPPORT THE PEOPLE. OF COURSE THE TRAIN DERAILMENT CAUSED THIS. DONT EVEN ASK SUCH A STUPID QUESTION. MAKE EM PAY HUGE. STOP THIS NOW.
Prayers 🙏🏻
Dewine should come here and get a huge glass of water 💦 He turned down Federal help saying everything is good
Ppl should check on who financially supports him.

@@IronskullGM awe, that explains a lot. Residents of Palestine need to quit signing the No Harm Hold documents. They will probably qualify for millions $ per person. The Feds should be accountable also for overseeing US Rails and chemical transport safety. They’re not just in their offices to line their pockets. They must be accountable.
Bottoms up!
coleen after causing the toxic train:
Wear a 3m painters mask with the carbon filters probly help if you can find them. Call 3m company and ask for a truck load of masks and ask your congressman to run an emergency bill to pay for a million painters masks with extra carbon cartriges.
Just leave the town
silly, painter's masks do NOT filter out these pollutants....
Don't worry, it is safe!
Let's put people before profit

flee the area it is not safe
See how that ActorDoctor in white schmock & bow tie moved nervously when Governor DeWine said he'd be drinking bottled water. I'm on other side of Ohio and send everyone effected my condolences
A 2 mile long freight train running on air brakes ….
Praying for the Ohio people. At this point, I think common sense would be better actions to take than listening to those leaders who just make up answers as they go along. They don't have a clue at this time. Nature speaks louder than their words do. May the Lord protect you, provide for you, and guide you through this tragedy. Amen.

The 45 mi an hr winds did not help either
This will probably happen in my town soon we have a crumbling railroad bridge the concrete supports have cracked apart have begun to twist with large chunks of concrete falling tanker trains cross it daily it is less than a half a mile from two schools

oh those poor little fish and frogs, this is terrible !
what about the people? 🤡
Done by design. Depopulation.
Of course it did 💔
Well... Screw safety inspection huh
This was NOT an accident.
YES! Yes it sure did!
😢 How sad !
RR companies make a crew of 2, do the work of 5 men... and they're lobbying to get it reduced to one man crews... have been for many years. Trying to make more profits for their share holders...
Exactly, the wringing of profit by the blood and sweat of workers and the people along the tracks has to stop.

Never run towards something like that, run from it get washed up and stay in doors.
Why won't they post the results of the testing?! Why is government not doing their job?!
Did this happen today ?
No. Happened about a week ago
Media blackout until now. This happened Feb 5 if I recalled. Every media in the states focus on balloons until people start to get sick and their livestock and fishes from their rivers start dying. That's when the media start to do their jobs.
Feb 3, about two weeks ago.
@MaskHero Zo I'm starting to think the media might not have the general public interest as a priority...
This is so sad 😞
Its no question at all that harsh chemicals that are breathed in or spilt on the skin. Its no question that that is the reason why people for towns miles away and animals tens of miles away are dying.
What I haven't seen an answer to is why such large amounts of so many different harsh chemicals were being transported at once. I haven't seen any answers to that or what caused the derailment.

What do you want him to do go talk to the Gov of Ohio? Gov said he did not ask for Fed aide or help and does not need it. How's that?
"Toxic chemicals " is rather wooly. What actually was released?
Vinyl chloride.
From Wikipedia:
Vinyl chloride is a mutagen having clastogenic effects which affect lymphocyte chromosomal structure.[20][22] Vinyl chloride is a Group 1 human carcinogen posing elevated risks of rare angiosarcoma, brain and lung tumors, and malignant haematopoeitic lymphatic tumors.[23] Chronic exposure leads to common forms of respiratory failure (emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis) and focused hepatotoxicity (hepatomegaly, hepatic fibrosis). Continuous exposure can cause CNS depression including euphoria and disorientation. Decreased male libido, miscarriage, and birth defects are known major reproductive defects associated with vinyl chloride.
Vinyl chloride can have acute dermal and ocular effects. Dermal exposure effects are thickening of skin, edema, decreased elasticity, local frostbites, blistering, and irritation.[20] The complete loss of skin elasticity expresses itself in Raynaud’s Phenomenon.[22]
"Multiple rail cars and tankers were observed derailed, breached, and/or on fire,
that included but not limited to the following materials:
i. Vinyl chloride
ii. Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether
iii. Ethylhexyl acrylate
iv. Isobutylene
v. Butyl acrylate."
Why has it taken 2 weeks for media to catch up!
They're owned by the USA government, that's why
Yes, the train emits toxic fumes. Air, water, and soil have been devastated. A class action lawsuit is a must. Governor, do your job and force the railroad company to clean up. The trains should have a modern way of stopping and not cause so many derailments. Clean up the river, soil, and drinking water. The train caused the disaster.
Typical Ohio stuff
they got the money.theyll throw some money around and never answer for anything
Was that train sent by Umbrella Corp?
Get out reach out to family members go stay with them.
Well we almost had another one. In Detroit Michigan. It's a very harmful treat to America this is a crime against humanity. Illegal in international court. We should ask them to get the people who did this an take them to court.
Why is biden still in office?
This is worse than Chernobyl.
The townspeople should cut the tracks and notify NS that nothing goes through their town until this is resolved to their satisfaction. Get 50-100 men with long guns to guard the location where they cut the tracks and anyone who attempts to remove the men or fix the tracks will be resisted with force.
What does cutting the tracks have to do with a clean-up operation.
