On February 3, 2023, at about 8:55 p.m. local time, a Norfolk Southern 32N freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, USA.
The train was carrying hazardous chemicals, including vinyl chloride. Other chemicals carried included flammable liquids, butyl acrylate, and benzene residue. The derailment caused a fire that lasted several days.
📍 Toxic substances spread for miles around, poisoning the air and killing animals. Toxins have also contaminated the Ohio River, which provides drinking water for 10% of the U.S. population. 😯
More and more locals are coming to the conclusion that this was a deliberate action!
This is a major environmental disaster happening right now in real time and affecting real people.
The derailment and the emission of toxic substances into the air took place at a very strategic location. The Ohio River, which serves over 10% of the U.S. population, was reportedly contaminated by chemicals from the train derailment. The river supplies drinking water to over 5 million people in addition to industrial plants as far away as West Virginia, affecting over 30 million people living in the Ohio River basin.
This is an airplane view of a huge toxic cloud after a train carrying an extremely toxic substance vinyl chloride derailed in Ohio.
