I'm really surprised at so many reactions to this event. It's like what happened was a first time occurrence, ever. Astonishment that chemicals are shipped in industrial quantities on the rails. (How do you suppose they get from where they are made to where they are used? What do railroads ship except freight? What do you think "freight" consists of?) "Oh, it's terrible what happened to East Palestine! But it's also terrible that we should remove the poison to anywhere else!" So...paralysis? Suffer in place? There are no better places to take the contamination? I guess we just don't have enough pixie dust to sprinkle on things and make them all right...
