On February 3, the train derailed in eastern Palestine near the Pennsylvania state line, sparking a massive fire. The disaster caused no casualties.
Comparisons to the Chernobyl accident in 1986 arose, thanks to images of the dark cloud of toxins circulating on social media. According to Insider news, Chernobyl’s destruction was much worse and Ohio’s chemicals are less potent, but the environmental impact of the accident should not be ignored.
The train was carrying several chemicals, including vinyl chloride, a chemical used in the manufacture of plastic. Many of the released chemicals are carcinogenic and can cause breathing and vision problems.
Just to be clear… This was a controlled explosion carried out by our own government in our own homeland. The smoke you see is vinyl chloride, an extremely toxic chemical that is now in the Ohio River.

The residents say they suffer from breathing problems, sore throats, irritated eyes, headaches and other illnesses, according to Insider. Several lawsuits have already been filed against the Norfolk Southern Railroad company, alleging the impact of the accident on the health of residents.
After the fire, several animals died, namely foxes, chickens and 3500 fish.
About 2,000 residents had to temporarily leave their homes after returning on February 8, duly authorized by authorities, after high levels of pollution in the air and water were not found.
Ohio Chernobyl and we haven’t heard from Biden or Buttigieg yet
Who authorized the burning of these chemicals?
Dead animals, people getting sick, arrested journalists and MSM blackout.
