Here's the aforementioned proposal:
BILLINGS, Mont. — The Trump administration said Thursday it was withdrawing a proposal for freight trains to have at least two crew members, nullifying a safety measure drafted under President Barack Obama in response to explosions of crude oil trains in the U.S. and Canada.
-
Going by the official narrative, the train engineer was ordered by dispatch to keep moving despite the burning wheel. Would having an additional crew member changed dispatch's decision? I am unconvinced.
-
It's an Obama era regulation. Given what we know about Hussein's administration, I'm going to trust Trump on this and assume that Obama rule was never there for actual safety reasons.
They filmed a Netflix movie last year about a toxic train derailment in the same area as the real life event.
The CDC updated their vinyl chloride guidance 11 days prior to the real life event. It was the first update to the guidance in over a decade.
Sorry OP, but this train disaster seems pre-meditated.
I had a similar thought when the idea of the Ohio disaster being a white hat operation was floated in the thread about President Trump remaining silent on the matter. What if there was a hidden chemical weapons cache or, worse, actual chemical weapons production facility in East Palestine, OH? And the only way for the military to safely remove the whole thing was to detonate and do a controlled burn? Explosions, a giant fireball, hazmat crews, and phosgene gas showing up around East Palestine would raise a heck of a lot of uncomfortable questions, but stage a scary train derailment near or over the site, and then you have a plausible, normie-friendly reason for it all.
Ya know...if there was some terrible cabal-controlled facility in East Palestine that had a bunch of hazardous materials, then faking a big scary train derailment would be one way to remove it without the public being any wiser. Hmmm.
This prompted me to look up who is East Palestine's US Congressman.
Answer: Bill Johnson.
Bill Johnson has quite the glowing resumé. Emphasis mine.
Johnson entered the U.S. Air Force in 1973, and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after a distinguished military career of more than 26 years. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Troy University in Troy, Alabama in 1979, and he earned his Master’s Degree from Georgia Tech in 1984. During his tenure in the U.S. Air Force, Johnson was recognized as a Distinguished Graduate from the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps, Squadron Officers School, and Air Command & Staff College. Bill is also a proud recipient of the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the National Defense Service Medal. As Director of the Air Force’s Chief Information Officer Staff at U.S. Special Operations Command, Johnson worked directly with senior congressional and Secretary of Defense representatives, as well as top leaders within the various U.S. intelligence communities, to ensure America’s Special Operations forces were adequately equipped to carry out critical national security missions.
In January of 2023, he was selected by his Republican colleagues to lead the Environment, Manufacturing & Critical Materials Subcommittee. As the Chairman of the Subcommittee, Johnson will advance policies that keep our air and water clean, while putting American energy independence and the American people first.
However, their lives are disrupted when a cataclysmic train accident casts a cloud of chemical waste over the town. This "Airborne Toxic Event" forces a massive evacuation, which leads to a major traffic jam on the highway. Jack drives to a gas station to refill his car, where he is inadvertently exposed to the cloud. The family and numerous others are forced into quarantine at a summer camp.
you still haven't identified any alternative to the burn-off.
Again, what is with the insistence in this thread from multiple accounts now that I have to believe the official narrative? Why am I expected to dismiss the possibility that bad actors may have lied about the danger that the derailed tankers truly posed? Why am I expected to believe that this "emergency response team" (Which is who exactly? The Feds? Compromised railroad officials? Do we know?) was totally truthful about the danger and weren't just there to carry out the rest of the planned sabotage?
If the facts truly are what the official narrative claims—the tankers really were under pressure and the clean up crew didn't have any other options—then, yes, I agree there was no alternative but to burn off the chemicals. The problem here is that I reject the entire premise that we must stick to the official narrative's explanation of events. There are corrupt and traitorous shitheads at all levels of government, and no, I do not put it past these same shitheads who stole the last three elections and are currently attacking our food supply in various ways to intentionally cause an environmental disaster over our farmland.
Nobody has identified any practical or viable alternative.
Alternative: Bad actors interested in causing a major environmental disaster over farmland lied about the amount of pressure in the tankers so that local officials were forced to burn off the toxic chemical "out of an abundance of caution."
We simply don't know. And frankly, neither the government, the "experts," or the official narrative deserve the "presumption of innocence" these days.
I remember Chinese people describing "weird clouds" right before the big 2008 Sichuan quake. There were videos of it on really early Youtube/social media.
EDIT: I found the video I was talking about.
It's entirely possible that an innocent clean-up crew was forced to make the tough decision you describe. I don't dismiss the possibility, so I'll upvote you. However, we have also seen numerous corrupt local governments over the years make questionable and sometimes deadly decisions that are obviously intended to harm this country. We don't know, and we have little reason to believe the official explanation of anything anymore.
There was NOTHING wrong with the track.
Respectfully, you don't know that, I don't know that, and we, the public, don't know that. Hell, even the railroad employee might not know that (he be might just as in the dark as the rest of us about the track condition). We also don't know if the bearings you mentioned were intentionally sabotaged. We only know the official narrative and what you, random internet stranger, claim some railroad employee told your son. Frankly, after the last several years, there isn't a whole lot of reason to trust any of those things and with very good reason. I see zero reason to go, "Oh okay, well I guess we should dismiss the idea that the train was intentionally sabotaged over farmland and totally go with this random stranger's explanation that the bearings just happened to break in an extremely inconvenient place." That's just not happening, and if your son is indeed "based and reads this site," then he'll understand this position.
Interesting how you ignored the part where I suggested that the actual track may have been sabotaged. ANTIFA has been known to do this Source 1 Source 2 Source 3.
Look, I understand being blinded with anger about the situation, but the militant way you keep insisting that we stick to the official narrative and don't question if sabotage was involved comes off as a suspicious.
The official narrative is that the derailed tankers were under pressure and would have caused a massive explosion if they didn't burn off the toxic chemicals. It's a plausible-enough explanation, although I'm not really sure what to believe.
Trust me I am the first to believe in false flags. This isn't one.
Respectfully, we should not dismiss the possibility that a bad actor intentionally sabotaged the train or train track with the intention of causing a major disaster.
