The Left is fine with this.
I mean, look at Vietnam and Agent Orange. We sprayed dioxin on all kinds of people, and the Left was fine with that. They didn’t blame Nixon or anything. Oh. Wait. They actually freaked out about it.
But this time is different. Because Democrats are in charge. So ... dioxin is good for you.
They want us living in “15 minute cities.” They want to destroy America’s manufacturing and food production capabilities. This event served both of those purposes. They effectively turned eastern Ohio and parts of the northeast into Chernobyl.
This is Sickening.
Every person in the decision chain should be tried in court for crimes against humanity.
I remember driving through Idaho once and seeing beautiful big pristine looking lakes, but I was warned that the fish were full of mercury and not edible.
Somehow I wonder if there was an advanced civilization before the great flood and they injected everyone with mRna vaxxes and did stupid stuff which caused a Global Climate Change near extinction event and left only Noah et al
maybe that is why our lifespan is so short today.
I’m waiting for the onion to be peeled - who authorized the burning? Someone was in charge and gave the order - who was it and which organization?
The feds always take charge.
I used to visit Times Beach in the years before it was destroyed.
I remember it all well.
This is horribly sad and it is incredibly toxic.
I had no idea dioxin was involved.
Biden is a complete pig for not addressing this.
I thought I hated him as much as I could but I was wrong.

You know when you sear a juicy steak over mesquite or charcoal fire. Dioxins. Taste great.
Gee, where are all the people worried about the cleanliness off the air and water. You know the environment. Frogs, turtles, birds, endangered species, …PEOPLE!
Fact. Only 15 of the 75+ compounds known as dioxins are toxic.
Prolly why Brandon left for Ukraine.
Desperately praying for the Apocalypse. This won’t be it. Sorry.
Intentionally blowing up FOURTEEN rail cars of this stuff? So what was the alternative? Wow.
> “I guess a new disease is going to be invented soon,”
It’ll be called long covid.
Curious if chemicalserenity.com has a similar assessment.
Who signed off on the burning of these carloads of deadly chemicals? This is as Biden’s Chernobyl.
From a practical standpoint, railroads will need to review and revise the process of moving this material safely. I doubt there was intentional negligence on anyone’s part, but a kind of carelessness has come home to roost.
What’s up with the “Intentionally blown up”nonsense in this article. This BS journalism puts the article in the category of crap click bait.
I heard an interview with a first responder (fire tanker driver) this evening on the WMAL, Vince Coglianse show. It was a spellbinder account of how the fire was a living inferno when the tanker and his buddy arrived on the scene. The chemical was leaking out, on fire, and running down a ditch toward town. One building was already on fire. The tanker driver and buddy had gotten separated en route to the fire and wound up on the opposite side of the tracks from the pumper. The two (tanker driver and buddy) pulled their hoses and proceeded to try and keep the fire from getting down the ditch into East Palestine. In the fight to put out the fire, the two got separated with the buddy attacking the flowing fire in the ditch leading into town. At one point the tanker driver radio lost contact with his buddy and thought he may have lost him, but the buddy came back a while later with half of his coat burned off and missing a boot. It was a helluva story. Bottom line, the tanker driver who also was the chief hazmat officer for the county said that if the ‘controlled burn’ was able to generate temps over 400 degrees then perhaps the dioxin would have been destroyed.
We can do better I’m sure, but there will never be a way to transport bulk quantities of hazardous materials in perfect safety.
When we get more clever we will mitigate the issue by integrating or co-locating industries which produce hazardous materials with industries which consume them, so that such materials never leave the industrial site while in hazardous form.
