February 12, 2023 | Journalist reporting on Ohio train derailment and resulting environmental disaster arrested |
An environmental catastrophe is continuing to unfold and raising serious questions after about 50 train cars derailed in East Palestine, Ohio on February 3rd. It’s been reported that about 10 of the cars were transporting hazardous materials including vinyl chloride, a carcinogenic gas. Three days later, there was a “controlled burn,” ostensibly to prevent an explosion. However, the toxic gases can be deadly when inhaled. Residents within a mile radius were evacuated, others were instructed to shelter in place.
Animals and wildlife in the area are falling sick and dying, yet officials have instructed people to go back to their homes. [Many will remember similar advice given to NYC residents after September 11th, 2001, who later suffered deadly illnesses.] The environmental devastation of contaminated air, land, and water will require a long term plan for clean up.
Who is responsible for the accident? Why were such hazardous substances on the train to begin with and for what purpose are these agents being used? What is being hidden since a journalist was arrested while trying to cover the event? There is surely much more to this story. -JD
