I took notes during the Ohio government update on the East Palestine train derailment and toxic chemical spill response. The full press briefing is below. The media present was a mix of uncurious stenographers and some inquisitive journalists.

After about 20 minutes of generally obtuse outlines intended to downplay the seriousness of the crisis, which included a game and fish commissioner saying 3,500 fish were killed by the chemical pollutants – yet never actually saying *what* about the chemicals killed the fish, suddenly the Ohio EPA official admitted something important.

After the Ohio EPA spent several minutes of saying the released chemicals are *CURRENTLY* dissipating to “non traceable levels” at various points in the downstream waterways, suddenly she admits the “initial slack” of chemicals did reach the Ohio River. [Prompted 19:34, WATCH] The “Contamination Plume” is travelling down the Ohio River at approximately 1 mph, providing the various municipal water systems the ability to disconnect from the Ohio River intake as the toxins pass by.

This is Pete Buttgiggers job, but he's too busy chasing phantom white supremacists.

This is getting way overblown.

the media is too busy sucking up to even ask any questions about it during a presser recently.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is getting way overblown.

Petey Buttgigger?

Is that you?

[dynoman]

I’m not Pete but it getting way overblown. Watch.

[Old Yeller]

Worthless damn governments.

[bigbob]

Well then please go to East Palestine, breathe the air, drink the water, and let bus know how you do.

Exactly what I’d tell any official to do who said this was not a real concern.

I guess those pipelines are not to bad after all

[dynoman]

Wouldn’t bother me a bit.

You're right. A military official ejecting a journalist from DeWine's news conference on the disaster is overblown and doesn't merit any attention whatsoever.

TMI was overblown, too. The residents of Londonderry Township should have thanked Carter for his attention to the matter rather than complaining about the metallic taste in their mouths.

When they have whiskey spills into the creeks here in Kentucky, LOTS of fish are killed. The chemical reactions suck the oxygen out of the water. Fish need the oxygen. So, they die.

This event is not an American Chernobyl”. There won’t be long lasting affects. People are just very afraid of things they don’t understand …. Like, chemicals.

Animals are getting sick.

Coincidence?

Norfolk Southern chose to spend $10 BILLION in stock buybacks rather than maintain a line that seriously needed repairs.

Hard to confirm. I saw a video of a lady showing dead fish, the second fish in the video was so decomposed it was likely dead for months. Yet people will believe it was from the derailment. Lets see what’s happening in a year from now.

[dynoman]

Let’s see what it looks like six months from now.
