I knew it was bad when the officials did a PR stunt where they drank the tap water to prove it was safe and the EPA guy took a fake sip. He knew.
It can take years to develop cancers from dioxins- old men don't have to worry. Young people and women who can get pregnant are most at risk. Common mutation from dioxin toxicity is hermaphradotism.
@@Elysian777wow, didn’t know that.
Like Obama in Flint!
I remember seeing people boiling water in there kitchen and thinking isn't it airborne now boil it outside at least
@@pringledinglefringle8824 I would trust boiling to get rid of bacteria, not chemical contamination.
Years ago the US government changed the laws requiring every train to have a caboose and personnel to monitor train safety, this is what happens when you deregulate.
I live less than a mile from train tracks and I think about this every day 😢
Thus site is about 2 hours east of my home. Was pretty scary at the time it happened and 15 months later, it's still a concern. You did a very respectable story here. Thanks, Chris
Liar
@@MiggerPlease what is he hell is wrong with you? 🤔
@@scottrider641 yummy
qué cambios han hechos amigo? no hubo exposición al mundo más que un simple descarrilamiento
algún plan de salud, medio ambiente, sobre el agua. ha existido cambio?
People upset about the settlement forgot that BP was charged about 2 billion for their massive oil spill in the ocean, and still exist as a company today.
thats nothing for a giant liquid gold company
Yours is the most in-depth reporting that I've seen of this. This is a tragedy that could/should have been prevented. Thank you, Chris.
Thanks I appreciate that
I believe I have only done this maybe 4 times from a video on YTube. *Loud Hand Clapping* Well done, dude. Leave it to you, to get into that vehicle and cruise to a scene to checkout the aftermath of something of that magnitude - so quickly. I trust your instinct simply to go down there. Well done, Chris!
This is the best version of what happened that I've heard so far. You did a great job, Chris. I know I wouldn't trust the government to be truthful. I definitely would want to be out of there.
One thing being glazed over is the fact that after Ohio and the Feds lit this toxic nightmare on fire all those particles came back down in rain and snow over most of New York State, New England and our neighbors to the north in Canada. What goes up comes back down and they turned a local/regional toxic site into a multi state and international one.
Yes I agree which may actually be part of the large scale depopulation Plan the Globals have for us esp if this stuff causes hermaphroditism in children born from this toxic soup people are forced to breathe and drink. 😢
I watched the weather radar/wind patterns when the bomb was set off. That crap went everywhere. A couple of days later, the radar/wind patterns were nowhere to be found. We had funky white dust in central Maryland afterward.
I wouldn’t want to live there. In 20 years what weird cancers will we see in the people that stayed? Very scary.
Check out simi valley California and the rocketdyne disaster. When I moved to so cal in my early 20s I was told about this and the cancer rates etc I didn't believe it until I truly understood the nature of the disaster
And birth defects.
Your not just making videos but you can know add investigating reporter to your resume. Great job. 👍
Thank you for doing a update on this. News crews move on and often leave you in the dark as to what is happening currently.
You can thank the shareholders of Norfolk Southern and Precision Scheduled Railroading 100% for this mess.
Yes--- so,where is the lawsuit???? These people need help NOW!!
I always wonder where all the hazardous wastes are trucked off to? from toxic sites to another site now made toxic.
You coukd go down a rabbit hole reading about that stuff. Even with E Palestine. They were trying to truck the water off to other states and many were saying no way. Some were taking it at a cost of 4 dollars per gallon or something crazy. Always a complex and messy situation
I read a,report saying, Ohio is a,staging area for points west and south
Chris would you fufill my suggestion by visiting the grave of John philip sousa please and you are the sweetest kindest most special guy on youtube ♥️♥️
My son-in-law hauled gallons of hazardous waste from this wreck. He told me where he was told to take it, but I can’t quite remember. I think it was out of state.
Early on, they planned on hauling it to a treatment faciity in Baltimore where it woud have wound up in the Chesapeake Bay.
Thanks for the update, I feel so sorry for the residents, relocating is costly, prayers for them ❤
NY’s Love Canal all over again. These residents should be compensated enough to move and start over. Fund Americans first!
Centralia PA esque. Should be deemed inhabitable. Property values are non existent. 2500sqft homes $200k. Norfolk Southern should eat that cost. That is what they have insurance for. Just a major catastrophe that of course will not be resolved properly.
It's almost reminiscent of Love Canal, New York.
Times Beach dioxin disaster.
Things like this should show people that the Federal agencies said to "protect " us CDC, FBI, EPA, NIH ETC. Is actually to protect the CORPORATIONS. To run cover for them, to set standards/guidelines they can afford to do, but it puts mom and pop businesses out of business. They protect their cronies NOT WE THE PEOPLE.
Whoa there we need these organized agencies so do not throw the baby out with the bathwater! Clean sheet, but not no organization the shit won't magically fix itself!
@@ThePalmnut2 LOL Yeah ask the people in East Palestine how helpful they have been. Yes just like Unions there WAS a time when the agencies might have been needed. But like ALL government agencies they seek more and more control, more and more regulations. Like the EPA, wanting to control ANY water a person has on their property. We should not be depending on the Federal gov anyway , States should be taking care of their business.
Let me give you another example. Big Corp GETS to sale contaminated food, they can have , rat feces, animal hair, maggots, insect parts etc. in their food or drink. Food they sale US, But I with a clean kitchen , with NO bug or rodent problem, sterilizing all my equipment and following government requirements for home canning, can't sale my products.
@@cjholt633 your argument is mute when u say to leave it at state level, which is done already and still is a function of an organized civilization.
We cannot go back to no regulations, are you kidding me?
@@ThePalmnut2 I didn't say go back to no regulation. I said States should take care of their own. The reason these agencies are so out of control is,1- people aren't paying attention to what they are and AREN'T doing and 2 people are still under the delusion that they are for the people and not against the people. Go watch the interview with the guy saying how the can "get" anyone.
Thanks Chris, this wa a really interesting, investigative video. You and Lamont at Large are keeping not just fellow Americans informed, but the rest of the world. Those poor people in East Palestine, will they ever get the compensation and justice they so urgently need?! 💰🙏 Keep up the good work Chris. You and Lamont should do more videos/ work together. 👍🏻🇬🇧👊🏻
This is the result of deregulation. There is a reason regulations are put in place and when those protections are removed, to satisfy the greed of the rich, the poor pay with their health and their lives.
Great job man👍. Hope everyone remembers this in November. This was a prime example of how NOT to handle this situation. Oh, and not even a mention of this on the one year anniversary.
Specifically, in this disaster, every decision-making executive at Norfolk Southern should have received some sort of jail time for gross negligence due to their willful refusal to operate safely & cut corners for the sake of profit & deepening the pockets of their shareholders. This company should not be allowed to continue to operate at all.
Corporations & capitalism, lobbying & politicians, and grotesque wealth imbalances are destroying our nation & our people. When is enough going to be enough?
As an Ohioan, thank you for coming here and doing a video of this disastrous event. I felt the the effects of the derailment all the way here in Summit County. Bad coughing fits, plugged nose, etc. For those that don’t know, this is the highest degree of mismanagement and stupidity amongst the higher ups.
Of which there is many.
I work for a RR and can tell you that it’s from lack of maintenance. They lower the time allowed per car for inspections and maintenance
Isn't that a higher risk than running late but safe... 😢
Doesn’t Norfolk Southern use hot box detectors to alert crews of bad wheel bearings?
Yes
They should fit their cars with Timken Roller Bearings. The Four Aces Steam Locomotive was the first locomotive fitted with roller bearings, and it was a very smooth-running locomotive that didn't require as much maintenance as plain-bearing locomotives and cars.
Yes, they are called trackside defect detectors, but they, obviously, don't work!
Didn't know you were a professional comedian. "Would you trust the government?", that's the funniest thing I've heard in years.
So we trust corporations? That's all we've done mostly.
This is what happens without regulations and prison for white collar thugs.
Fuck it, trust no one 😅@@ThePalmnut2
The other question is when will they be compensated. Many residents of Flint still have not been paid. Lawyers from Florida, and North Carolina have it in a trust for years now.
My son-in-law is a hazardous materials trucker and has spent hours and hours hauling hazardous waste from this wreck.
Great Video Chris. Thanks for all Your hard work putting Your Videos together. Be Safe out there.
My prayers 🙏 go out to the good people of Ohio
I watched a recent video in which a resident says the EPA people came to town to assure everybody the tap water was safe to drink. The EPA people were all carrying bottles of water they had brought with them.
Nice message.
I live 45 minutes away from this disaster site, sadly when they detonated the train, that black plume of smoke, made its way here into Mercer county Pennsylvania.
This is probably the worst ecological disaster in modern America. Amazing to think they didn't just automatically evacuate everybody to prevent all the health issues to come!
Awesome update. I don't trust the government at all. I think we will know more a couple years down the road. Thanks so much.
What's really sad is the governmental agencies that should have taken care of this quickly didn't. It will never be the same.
President Biden, almost immediately, offered to send whatever services that were needed. All Ohio had to do was simply ask.
The republican governor in Ohio DELAYED asking for that help.
Thank you for posting consistent, good quality video documentaries that literally span all over the US. If you ever come to OC, CA make sure to check out the Tustin Hangars(one burned down recently and was a big controversy).
This is absolutely rediculous, they can sent millions overseas while this is happening in our backyard 🤦♂️
You mean ukraine 😡
Thanks for the update
I'm in England and I remember seeing this on the news here. What a huge disaster!
I feel sorry for the residents as that looks like it was a nice place to live prior to the accident.
I'm not sure I would ever feel comfortable living there, you just don't know because government can't be trusted
Just think: a few hundred thousand dollars in routine maintenance could have prevented half a billion in remediation.
But, but, that would make sense!!!!!!
The stock holders would have had to pay that few hundred thousand. They don't have to pay the half billion.
Best reporting than the media
To put it simply, nobody was honest about Flint Michigan, why would they be honest about this town that wasnt on any news radar until February 2023?
Thank you for the video ❤😊🎉
Love your work. Thank you
The big bad corporate world does not really care about people. If something like this happens, they throw a bunch of money at the problem, then it's back to business as usual.
I feel like they do care since that will cut into their profits
Sadly it’s another incident where our government has let the American people down. They should’ve stepped up and gotten majority involved with the cleanup but they would rather send our money and support across the pond instead of helping the people of our country. Just my opinion.
I'm surprised you were able to get close enough to film. A year ago they had the military stopping people from getting in to report on it.
Great video.
The poor folks of Palestine have had their town destroyed. The extensive and lengthly cleanup is mind blowing. The value of the homes has likely been destroyed too. No, I wouldn't have stayed. The long term effects of these chemicals is not known but we do know is that they are dangerous and risky. So much so, there are people still conducting tests and finding contamination.
Thanks for reporting on this. I remember when it happened. No, I wouldn’t buy a home there but thanks for the video.
I forgot about this, the media didn't spend much time on this event.
I live in Western New York and this train goes by my house on a daily basis, im a block away from the track and it's scary and we think about it all the time if the train will derail. We have had trains derail in the past, but thank God it's only been coal trains and Small derailments.
Yeah that would always be on my mind too. Plus is there any way to know what they are hauling passed your house? Do you even want to know?
**@Monicahyland8641,**
I'm near Buffalo NY.
Whats with the staging of brand new railway containers on the tracks for the last 4 years? Over a mile of them.
Their purpose is *what,* and *WHY* are they being staged? Thy resmeble grain transport cars where the bottom brops out to allow corn and grains to drop out.
Very eerie.
You can tell on the side of the tankers what they are hauling in some of the cars, they will have a red triangle∆ and that means flammable liquids. Some of these trains fly through our city doing 70 MPH
@@JamminClemmons I live in Dunkirk about an hour south of Buffalo. We don't see many grain car's. We have 2 major track systems that run through our city. The first sets of tracks has 4 sets and our second sets of tracks has 2. They run consistently All day and night. Amtrak uses the tracks with the 4 sets on it. I live a block away from the set of 2 tracks and it's a train every 30 minutes on the dot... I'm sorry if I'm rambling 😂. Our family actually talks about,, what if... This happens, like in mobile s video.
@@monicahyland8641 - Hang-in there sister! Western New Yorkers, *ROCK!*
Seems to me that whoever invests in these cleanup operations should be investigated because I’ve heard of other events occurring just so they can have a cleanup
The rail companies use their own "EPA" Specialists, it's def suspicious AF, not good
I wouldn't trust them, or I'd at least be wary. Government doesn't have a great track record with honesty
Awesome job Chris! No disrespect to anyone who lives there and prayers to them always, but there is no way my family would stay.
As an Ohio native thanks for covering this.
I remember that exact spot being tested (the creek) weeks after it happened. Looks tough
It's in the soil of the river, the water might be cleaned up, but it goes into the soil, so it doesn't actually help, and I don't believe the EPA! 🤷🏼♀️
I most definitely would not want to live there, not just because I don't like that part of the U.S., because it's just too humid for me, but because I don't believe a thing that the EPA says!
Thanks for doing this video.. It needs to stay in the news. A scary situation for the people. I would be afraid for myself & kids to play or hike to wander about in the outdoors. so sad more hasnt been done for the towns people. no fault of theirs..
Could have been prevented. There was a safety mechanism that Norfolk refused to buy because of cost cutting .
Electronically assisted brakes? They would not have helped here. Lying about the BLEVE potential is where they criminaly screwed up.
Almost 50 years later People who were not alive in 1977 have bought Homes Near & around the Love canal area, Not really knowing what was on the "other side of the street", many of these people now have strange health problems, even though the site was supposed to have been cleaned up and safe per the EPA. Sad part is the waste that they dug up was burried 6 miles away, and in 2015 that waste had to be dug up again and removed because of Health Probems in the Town of WheatField, wonder where they buried that now? That area of Ohio will never be safe again, I WOULD NOT LIVE THERE, EPA has been proved wrong before
Hey out of curiosity, what happened to your video regarding a mine Ill leave unnamed around Rosendale NY? Cool video, I'd often visit that site growing up.
I been down thru there before. I was down at East Liverpool once too. It was ight.
gaw damn i forgot about this completely
I wouldn't believe anything any of these alphabet agencies say. Just to see how things looked, I logged onto Snapchat's map to see what people there were posting and someone posted a video of men in hazmat suits near the tracks. This was about the same time EPA said that everything was safe. If it were safe, why then the need for hazmat suits?
great subject
The town the railroad destroyed
I lived very close to the crash site. Scary
I wouldn't have lived there BEFORE this happened.
16 states and part of Canada are affected by this.
It's amazing that I never heard of this!!!
?? ??? ????
I work at a railroad and people park soooo far away from the crossings after that incident
I live very close to ep this was nuts
Praying for all
It's almost like they don't care about you, for some reason?
First time I’ve ever heard of this
Great video. Sad sit. we have here. No I would not buy a house here. I would turn and run from the area.
Do you know the channel Status Coup? They cover this extensively. They are also still covering the poisoned water crisis in Flint, Michigan 10 years on. It is still unresolved.
The Government said the same thing about Centralia PA but people still moved out of Centralia. I would move to Centralia before I move to east Palestine ohio
It's that this happened , they were going to treat the waste water here in Baltimore County a mile or so from my house, I think that the residents fought not to bring it here, in the end after our government said that it would not come here, but we are still getting it. As for living there, if I had children, I wouldn't . But at my age and knowing that a house is a hell of a lot better than living in this small camper, if somehow I was to get a deal, I would have no problem with moving there into an abandoned house, at my age and health issues a little chemical issue is not no big problem
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”
― Ronald Reagan
Yep this is exactly what happens when it's captured by the private sector, which caused this accident through deregulation, malpractice, cost cutting, and bad PR in the first place. Ironically, the EPA is the only ones actually taking steps to remedy the situation in the end despite it all. Ronnie hated the EPA. Don't be a sore winner.
Couldn't have said it any better
@@chrishallmark4407 The current administration sure loves the other Palestine, and Iran, and Israel, and Ukraine. Don't so much love Maui and East Palestine.
The same Reagan who pushed "trickle-down economics" which destroyed small business diversity and paved way for mega corporations quasi monopolizing entire sectors to eventually milk Joe and Jane Average. The deregulated and subsequently desolate state of US railways can also be traced back to this sort of policy making. 😉
@@screwthecabal6453Not a high bar there 😅
Can you direct to any hazardous waste procedure that suggests igniting it?
I was thinking about this the other day and thought how hadn't heard anything about it lately. I feel terrible for this people, imagine having to leave because you don't want your family to get sick or even worse that maybe you can't afford to leave and and having no choice to stay and possibly killing your family....frig
Thanks Chris, this highlights the fact that people should try to not live within 5 miles of an interstate highway or a rail line.
I have relatives that live near there and they do not feel safe. They are still finding dead fish and wildlife in the streams and the Tuscawarus River
I was there that night, sure was something. I have pics on my channel.
You can simply put a sub pump in those creeks and pump that water out into a treatment facility or a storage tank until you can treat it. I don’t understand why nobody’s doing anything.
Chris, don't even get close to the water, or throw away those shoes you were wearing.
It depends on the proximity to the site. If your main concern is drinking water, you could have your own analysis made in a reputable lab and find neighbors who would pick up a share of the cost if you were to do it on a monthly or quarterly basis. Same can be done for the soil around your property once if you're not really close to the site. It only becomes really problematic when you have kids, because kids play everywhere outside and especially so near small creeks and you just cant keep them on a leash and its quite obvious that this creek is a longterm problem even if water quality normalizes, toxins seep into the creek bed and may get stirred up again for a number of reasons - if its a major river, this issue would not persist very long due to high flow of water.
But if you prefer to just distrust without knowing, you gotta move elsewhere and hope that place hasn't been polluted previously. Undisclosed toxic contamination from a long time ago is a widespread issue in the US. Heck, people build their houses on top of 150 year old mines because nobody bothered to tell them and then get a surprise sinkhole in their living room - the devil-may-care attitude is a thing on the local government level too.
Did you smell anything chemicals?
The governor of that state is the one who gave the order to burn all of those chemicals so evidently he would be then held liable for any damages, healthwise or other
you need to agitate the soil because the molecules you are looking for are not necessarily water soluble.
I had no idea this happened
???????????????
I wouldn't live there, i doubt it's as safe as they claim.
Where did they move the soil?
If you didn't publish this, some of us wouldn't know. Sucks.
Wow
There’s no way one failed wheel bearing caused this accident. That’s a bunch of BS. I’m so tired of these accident investigators lying like this they know darn right well.
Hard to believe, but yes--- one failed bearing can,and DID do this. Now---- wrap your mind around the FACT that these big RR's have cut the number of men who check/ repair things like this, and have cut down the ALLOWED TIME to inspect a railcar--- because they can make MORE MONEY. ALSO--- they went from a 4 man crew, to just 2, and keep talking about going to 1 man-- the engineer-- only.
What are you going on about? They have it on video. And what benefit would there be to lying about it when they pinned all of the blame on NS and said it was preventable.
What an unfortunate name to choose...
Y I don’t think I would live there. Clean water at the least and a way to make a living is important
