🤢 These people are sick! 🤮

· East Palestine, Ohio Train Disaster in Numbers
- 50 rail cars derailed on 3 February
- 11 rail cars carried hazardous materials
- 5 rail cars released Vinyl Chloride, a flammable, colorless liquified gas that causes liver, brain, and lung cancer
- 28° Celcius / 82° Fahrenheit is required for Vinyl Chloride to become slightly water soluable
- 1 waterway was directly impacted - the Leslie Run. It feeds the Little Beaver Creek, a tributary to the Ohio River.
- 5 Million Americans get water from the Ohio River.
- 74 Million Americans get water from the various tributaries and outlets of the Ohio River, which feeds the Mississippi River
- 1 Billion+ animals of varying types - livestock and wildlife - depend on these waterways for life
- None of the waterways have ever hit a sustained 82°F in human history
- 3500 fish and aquatic animals have died in the Leslie Run in the past week
- Almost all small livestock have died in East Palestine since Friday, 10 February, especially poultry
- 4800 residents call East Palestine home
- 94% are White
- 81% of the 74 Million Americans that depend on the Ohio River and associated waterways, including the Mississippi for water for themselves and/or their livestock are White
- Zero FEMA officials have arrived to East Palestine as of 15 February
This was not an accident. This is genocide.
This is the time to pull back from the paranoid-delusional mindset and wait for more information. It was an accident, with no inciting plot. There are terrible fires that kill many people, but we do not rush to the cabinet of paranoid conspiracy theories and break the glass. (We even expect accidental causes---not arson---as the usual course of things.) Did FEMA show up at the Gold King mine discharge? They can't show up at every disaster.
Of course most of the affected people will be white. That is the majority in that part of the country, as well as the rest of the country. Is there some angst over the fact that blacks, Asians, and American Indians not dominantly affected? This is just racism under another guise, and I have no respect for it.
It remains to be seen what effects will indeed be lasting. This guy is like someone who watches a man on the sidewalk get hit by a flowerpot falling from a seventh story window ledge, and declaring it to be "murder."
This was NOT an accident. It was a deliberate decision, and people were not warned prior to the”controlled burn.” Tell me that the S. Carolina, Houston, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan train derailments and the Tuscon, AZ truck incidents all in one week, were all accidents too.
Agreed!
You don't have a shred of evidence to substantiate "a deliberate decision" for the specific events. The Ohio and Michigan derailments were from the same railroad, Norfolk Southern. If they are scrimping by deferring track maintenance, this is the result: derailments begin to happen. You could say that was a deliberate decision, but only one of negligence, not of specific desire to cause harm. The Arizona truck incident is completely separate and unconnected. I'm not familiar with the S. Carolina and Texas accidents.
The problem here is that you WANT it to be "not an accident." Maybe you even NEED it to be "not an accident." As though an accident is not bad enough.
No, I want it to have not happened at all, whether deliberate or accidental. Most likely we will never know, because big business are all liars and you can believe their word as far as you can throw a stick. That aside, where is the EPA and where is Biden providing financial aide and containment to prevent further spread? I do not take any glee at the misery of others, whether deliberate or accidental. There are way to many derailments. Extra care should be taken when transporting hazardous materials.tracks should be checked regularly for proper status and maintenance.
Welcome to the show at last. 1700 derailments/year on average, for the past 20 years. Partly the media has not been paying attention, and mainly the public is purely ignorant of how much industrial traffic is on the rails. Big business is not "all liars." You fancy you know something you cannot possibly know, but only suspect.
As for the EPA and Biden, are you serious? Do you recall the Gold King mine contamination spill that the EPA was responsible for? Do you not know that Biden has a grudge against flyover country and red states?
As for tracks, what have the people of Ohio been up to? Sleeping in front of the TV set? They have the power to direct the state government to either inspect the railways themselves, or put pressure on the federal government to do so. We can be outraged, but when it reveals that the responsible people (us) have been asleep or indifferent, it is not a comfort.
There are hundreds of train derailments per year in the US.
This is how news works. They don't report unless they think people want to know. Before this, derailments weren't worth their attention. Now it's like a fad to talk about derailments.
In another thread someone whose husband is high up in a train company told her that the bulk of derailments are a single wheel dropping off the track caused by the rail couplers. This is a literal train wreck.
"They don't report unless they think people want to know."
They don't report unless they are told to report.
FIFY 🙂
Yep, hundreds, right next to major water supplies, not just a wheel getting off the track, but fire, explosions, all with hazardous chemicals. Even the trucks had hazardous chemicals, all in one week. Okay.
No. About 1700/year. Do some anon research, please. And it is usually the case that fires and explosions result from hazardous chemicals. That is why they are hazardous.
You underestimate the figure. According to the DoT, more than a dozen trains have derailed this year already, and the 30-year average from 1990 has been ~1700 derailments/year. But you are correct to note that the media ignores it if they have other fish to fry.
Ive been on this earth 52 years. Seen a lot, but nothing like this.
You could easily blame the fish deaths on chemical runoff into the river, but how do you attribute the independent reports of small animal deaths?
Dogs, cats, chickens and such.
No mass media reports, but plenty of homeowner reports via social media and my thought is there are so many, the social media people gave up trying to censor.
It is an ecological disaster.
This is a FUBAR situation.
Vinyl chloride and phosgene are heavier than air and will hug the ground. Humans might not be affected, but animals that breathe the air close to the ground will be affected. If you would do the least amount of research on these materials, you would not be surprised by reality.
So, you are arguing people sleep upright/standing so they are not low to the ground?
Lol
A bed is better than the floor. Small animals sleep on the floor or on the ground.
Did you hack that account? Because that's one of the most stupid things I've ever read.
No, read most of the commentary on this issue. Plotters under every bed.
Look, everyone, it's a normie. Did you mean to post this on Reddit? Sound asleep
Oh, and you are a choice one. Absolutely no contribution to make towards information, but you can't avoid an opportunity to jump on the bullshit name-calling wagon. The only thing that "glows" is your measly spirit.
No, this is a guy who has seen chemical tank cars in practically every freight train I have noticed over a long life. And chemical tankers driving on highways. It's a novelty to see what is being carried. You "non-normies" act like this was something new that sneaked up on you overnight, and you are acting like the fussy wife who was surprised by a spider. This is a guy who worked through an ammonia leak in a food processing plant. This is a guy who lived in a town that suffered thermal inversions that trapped sulfur dioxide from the harbor pulp mill. This is a guy who has worked in laboratories with exceedingly deadly chemicals in use. You like to look down on "normies," but don't stop to think they may have better insight than your paranoid ignorance.
Amazing how they made a movie about it ahead of time, or how Rihanna had all the dudes in hazmat suits dancing around her at the superb Owl. Also a crazy coincidence that it just happened to derail right at the perfect site to leak into the Ohio River. Probably nothing. Thanks for your non -relevant resume and work history, though. I'll let you know if I start giving a shit
Railroads are often situated along or near rivers, as the grades are close to water level. That is no coincidence. I note you have nothing non-snarky to say.
