Company Responsible For Ohio Train Derailment Issues List Of Cancer-Causing Substances Released
dailywire.com ^ | 2/13/2023 | Ben Zeisloft

Norfolk Southern Railroad and the Environmental Protection Agency released a list of chemicals and hazardous materials on Sunday carried by a train that derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.

The derailment, which occurred on February 3, caused a fire that lasted several days. Officials decided to initiate a controlled release of the chemicals to mitigate the risk of an explosion; all residents within one mile of the crash site were told to evacuate, although they were permitted to return to their homes on February 8.

Norfolk Southern provided the EPA with a list of cars affected by the crash and the chemicals they were carrying. The company said all five cars containing vinyl chloride have been “stabilized” after the material was burned by crews, forming massive plumes of dark smoke that were visible in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.

Vinyl chloride is described by the National Cancer Institute as a carcinogen linked to a rare form of liver cancer called hepatic angiosarcoma, as well as lymphoma, leukemia, and various forms of brain and lung cancers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration only permits exposure of one part per million during an industrial worker’s eight-hour shift.

“If a water supply is contaminated, vinyl chloride can enter household air when the water is used for showering, cooking, or laundry,” the agency said.

One train car containing ethylene glycol monobutyl ether currently has an “unknown status,” according to Norfolk Southern. The highly combustible liquid is used to manufacture paints and varnish; ingestion or skin contact can cause headache, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness, according to a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A second car was carrying isobutylene, a flammable gas that can induce “dizziness, drowsiness, and unconsciousness” when moderate concentrations are inhaled, according to another report from the

Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether is not a carcinogen, and is used in paints and varnishes. Vinyl Chloride is a nasty one, and it is a carcinogen. Exposure should only be at 1 ppm. It can make Hydrochloric acid which you do not want to inhale or get on your skin. Flush with water.

I have been hearing about dead animals all over the place. Wild, and Farm animals. Fish as well. The people who got dosed by this stuff now have on foot in the grave. The authorities decided to burn it rather than to collect it. They sent Toxic gas clouds into the atmosphere that even expected to reach the east coast.

There is a lot of info and video here.

That is a stupid headline. To my knowledge no possible cause has yet been identified. Normally unless a wreck is caused by an obvious cause such as a large stuck on a crossover it will take several days after the fires are extinguished and the hazmat team determines the site safe for inspection before the company and government inspectors can begin to a detailed inspection to determine the likely cause. It could have been a rail breaking, a hot box on one of the cars or something worse such as evidence of deliberate sabotage. In any case the real or most likely cause will not be known for some time.

This is Three Mile Island times 1,000.

People are still dying from TMI-caused cancers, and this is 40+ years after.

And now, just as then, begins the great coverup, and the monumental government lies.

I thought of that, too.

No telling which way the wind will carry these dangerous toxins, except for advanced weather instruments.

I am a TMI survivor, and this is very scary to me.

Everyone should watch the TMI story on Netflix.

This is deja-vu all over again.

Poor Ohio! Prayers up for all of them...and everyone within a 200 mile radius.

They told us that TMI only affected a ten mile radius. That was a lie, too.

And Joe Biden is hiding again, and will not speak to the nation about the increase in CCP weather balloons.

WOW! Rivers clogged with dead fish. Animals dropping dead!

Folks, I’ve seen it all before at TMI in 1979, and the classic government coverup.

This is a humongous environmental disaster for our country, and probably Canada too.

And President Biden is treating all of us citizens like mushrooms, in the dark and covered in shit.

Videos from security cameras at two different locations show flames/sparks under one of the cars as it rolled by, before the derailment.

Ohio is East from several of the Great Lakes.

Prevailing winds go West to East; and this time of year probably from the North, too.

So, in addition to the Ohio derailment of the train carrying dangerous chemicals, we now have two more today. One in Houston, TX, and one in South Carolina. Both carrying hazardous chemicals.

“Senator JD Vance (R-OH) issued a statement on Monday, vowing to get to the bottom of the train derailment and chemical burn that took place in East Palestine, Ohio. Authorities released toxic chemicals from the derailed train carts to reduce the threat of an explosion. Residents were told to evacuate the area.

“Like every Ohioan,” Vance wrote, “I’m horrified by the Norfolk Southern train crash in East Palestine and the images we’ve seen coming from Northeast Ohio. One week ago, local and state officials determined that to avoid a catastrophic explosion a controlled release of vinyl chloride would take place. This release is the source of the frightening plumes of black smoke that have made their way around social media. While those plumes of smoke are now gone, many questions remain.”
