This was not an accident. This is genocide.
I stand corrected. But I don't imagine ALL people in this region get their drinking water from the river -- folks still use wells, etc. (Especially in rural areas.) Also, I don't know what process the municipal water supplies use for drinking water, but there is some purification process utilized. They won't use raw water from the river. I was reading that this particular chemical remains in a state under 82F that allows for stratification/separation.
Things aren't always black-and-white. Many issues fall into a gray area. I have learned after my many decades upon this Earth, that it is helpful to allow for reflection and reason when analyzing problematic situations. If you look at my original post, I said that this situation in Ohio is bad. If you missed it, then read what I said again. I was only directing a conversation away from panic, where cooler heads can prevail.
It's helpful to use the gray matter God gave us to analyze a proper direction to solve a crisis. People with wells can share with others who don't have such a water supply. If the chemical can be removed by a stratification process, then this is also helpful.
The fact that you isolated my comments for attack, instead of offering your own, is interesting. I don't wish to engage in an argument, only to add to a discussion. Why is this wrong? You pointed out that my original assessment of the water situation was incorrect. Fine. But in your haste to make me a bad guy, you totally missed the intent of my comments. Good going.
