'don't worry. It's safe." The government is a disgrace
Remember when the EPA said the air at ground zero was safe to breath??
Is that a quote from Christy Whitman?
They didn't state all the chemicals that are on the train.
妥妥的人祸
EPA has a new director. Anthony Fauci.
Dead fish in the river and they Say the water is safe. 🙄
Ikr
Absolutely safe AF. 😂😂😂
That Part👆🏾
did you find any 3 eyes fish in the river ? no ??? then it's perfectly SAFE !!!!
This story needs a video much longer then 1:25
Shhh. It would make Biden look bad
This was no accident. The sad thing is that they are covering it up and making it sound much less devastating than it is. This will cause famine across the country because this stuff is going into the Ohio River, which leads to the bread basket of the United States. This is the beginning of the end.
Well, you see, the mainstream media is WEF member owned and controlled.. and that wouldn't benefit them.. so they intentionally ignore it as much as possible.

@@robrt7 Ohioans brought it on themselves
SERIOUSLY...
This is a HUGE environmental disaster, being actively covered up through the manufactured UAP incidents. Give it a few months for the food shortages, and a few years for the cancer & birth defects. Could be North America's worst environmental catastrophe to date
Exactly… We could very-well be looking at Chernobyl part 2 right now. Like this could actually be bad. I mean *bad* bad.
But what about the spy balloon? That is what really matters, right? /s
@@Cheeto_Fingerzhonestly possibly worse. The Soviet Union was able to prevent ground water contamination.
There are reports of the Ohio river being contaminated, which flow into the Mississippi. This is really not good.
What is our gov doing?
@@jamesmichael7448 the government is busy shooting down high-altitude unidentified objects!
If you sent 100 billion to Ukraine I think you sent a couple million to Ohio
That's why they want you to look at balloons, not at train wrecks.
It may be a good idea for those residence to get health checkups now so when they develop health problems related to this chemical contamination later down the road, it will be much easier to get compensation.
This. This right here
@@j.e.robins5839 They probably won't fair better which is why I suggested getting a health check up now so the the process of getting compensated will be slightly less painful.

Ohio “people” lol
They will be dead by then. All kinds of cancer coming soon to a town near you.
"not even the fish survived the toxic chemicals but oh yeah its safe to drink" WTFx10😟😳🤯😵
Wow!!!!!!! Somebody is actually reporting on this massive story.

For less than 2 minutes.

These people need to stand together and file lawsuits to cover the costs they are facing.
Costs don't matter if our planet is destroyed
@@SusanKay-if they decide to move who’s paying for it? Who buying their house or land?
Yeah, fishing is going belly up downstream, and the water is safe, right . Never thrust the government.

"Safe and effective"
The US government only cares about air balloons😂
Working big to small I guess
FR. These air balloons headlines have been in my feed for the last days and I only found out about this tragedy because an IRL friend told me about it
The Chinese government oppresses and brainwashes its own citizens and actively persecutes them for not wearing masks 😂
the balloons are a distraction tactic
Is just found out about this! 😅 I’m seriously stocking up on water now
Why this not getting any coverage? Today, is the first I’ve heard about this….disaster..
I didn’t know it carried chemical. I thought it was a train wreck and explosion only.
The chemicals reached ohio river basin and spread
Very scary and sad situation. Everyone should test
It is so impressed that all the news about the Ohio explosion are either 6 days ago or several hours ago
That's because the evacuation has lifted and people are just now coming back to their radioactive homes.

It's funny that the toxic leak in Ohio has been ignored for so long, but the whole country is focused on the balloons from China. They are trying to cover up the news in a way that they try to divert people's attention.
@@rh162 : not radioactive chemically contaminated.
Well they’ve got balloons and UFOs to cover
My heart goes out to the people of Ohio …. as well as every type of wildlife… Shame on that Railway company
Only mainstream media would say “don’t worry!”
Feel terrible for the people in the area. I'm an avid fisherman, and this makes me sick. Our administration pretends like they care about the environment only when it comes time to win votes. Where are all the climate change people protesting? where's the outrage? Where's the 24/7 media coverage of this disaster? I live in Pittsburgh and they just issued a boil water advisory a few days ago, saying that a "pump" broke. The timing is definitely questionable with this happening less than 100 miles away. Praying for the people and our natural resources.
Don't drink, cook, or bathe in the water.
Where's Greta when we need her. Lol
Maybe also the toxic chemical gases in the air too?! My gosh!
My heart breaks for everyone in that area. What to test for is VINYL CHLORIDE!!!!! It's highly toxic and extremely carcinogenic - Great job and slow clap to the new outlets for omitting that tiny detail!
Oh my gosh.... I was just going to say, doesn't anyone know what the train was carrying and then would they test for that?? I can't believe they're saying it's safe when there are clearly dead fish in the water. Heartbreaking for those that live there
Vinyl chloride has a half life of 1-2 days. It breaks down into Hydrogen Chloride which is a precursor to Hydrochloric Acid when it hits water vapor, and Phosgene which was a chemical agent used in WW1. They are most likely buying as much time as possible to wait for testing procedures so that the chemicals can disperse more without seeming dangerous to the public. My 2 cents. Godspeed.
There were three other chemicals on the train that were listed yesterday on some sites. I should have written them down.
@@joyfullone3968 According to Norfolk Southern, the company responsible for the railway, the derailment also released butyl acrylate and benzene, both of which are also combustible and toxic. Other toxic chemicals that were being transported and may have been released into the environment include ethylhexyl acrylate and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether.
Not just that but combustion byproducts
It's vinyl chloride mainly. It actually can enter your home through water if it is in the water systems. It easily causes liver cancers, brain, lung, and leukemia. It is mainly used to produce PVC.
They also need to be testing for butyl acetate, benzene, ethyhexyl acrylate, and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether
These are just the main ones we know of
Well Butyl Acetate, degrades in chlorinated water, and benzene when in the presence of chlorine and sunlight forms the common insecticide Benzene Hexachloride. 2-Butoxyethanol (along with pretty much all the other chemicals) is biodegradable with a half-life or 1-4 weeks, and as for vinyl Chloride it’s the worst you’re right, but it’s not unsolvable. Firstly it will diffuse and disperse because in the grand scheme of things there is not a lot of it, but depending on the levels in the soil we might actually go ahead and implement and bacteria called Nitrosomonas europaea which not only will digest the vinyl chloride, but also the benzene and turn it into nitrate which will make the soils even better.
Although, that will take time, a good amount of it.
This is terrifying. Get all of those people out of the area. Now now now.
Thanks for telling us exactly what caused the contamination.NBC forgot what reporting is
This makes me so upset for all involved. All those poor animals.
Not just the animals, but the air, the ground, and groundwater which the unknown long term effects to plants (agriculture) wildlife, streams, rivers and the massive area involved, not just in Ohio.
The residential testing is being postponed so the toxicity levels can lower in the meantime. Ask a chemistry teacher. Ask a friend of a friend.
Yea while all the farm animals perish
@@burningbright5039 Sadly smaller animals are effected more quickly by these types of exposure. But is still has to be proven to be death by toxicity. Which is hard when the corpse has rotten away. So don't wait for authorities. Ask them and let them if they do come by. But do your own set of test to make sure their results are accurate.
Pray for these people 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Time to file a class action lawsuit against all the annites involved in this. Start with Transportant Secretary! Than EPA and suit them in Civil Court as well as criminal court. I smell alot of lies come from the Federal Government.
Forget it, trans secretary too busy taking care of his wife and adopted child, no time to prevent chemical bombs!!!
💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣 💣
So yeah, remember a few weeks ago when Congress stopped the rail workers from striking over labor conditions? Apparently this was a wheel bearing failure that went un-noticed by overworked and understaffed rail workers... Just imagine if there'd been a couple extra people working.. Maybe they would have caught this? Maybe not... But the timing is pretty indicative of what happened.
That and trump apparently did away w certain regulations that applied specifically to what happened (you'll have to look it up for more details)..our gvrnmnt is a colossal failure! Red or blue.
They need to test that lady's well water sooner than later.
A few days late on this. This should have been the top story over the last week. Instead you covered ufos and balloons.
CNN won’t cover this why?
They’re owned by big corporations
Remember, Norfolk Southern is to blame
Leave the area people!!!
so shooting down a balloon gets more attention than this???
This is what the US gov expects. 🤣🤣🤣
Oh no if fish are dying your water is toxic
The people are toxic after they sided with satan to become a demoralized degenerate.
Just like Ellen Degenerate
Duuuuh
It's surprising how little I can find about this.
Someone needs to investigate the local EPA and find out what's really going on!
Don’t look over here at the dead fish floating downstream look up there, it’s another balloon!!!🎈🎈
More coverage in detail please.
Agreed! This story is important and there are so many unanswered questions.
Make those EPA Officials drink the water if they claim it to be safe.
Why CZcams is removing all videos about this accident
Because youtube is controlled by the United States
@@user-oq4dr3xd6h yep seems like they doing damage control
Those that are not conducive to Biden's vote will not be reported. Ohio is the Republican vote. So you get the idea.
I am on the west coast but a couple days ago I smell strong smoke at night. I don’t think it could have travelled this far. This is so bad for the people around that area.
The government needs to pay for this
You know we pay for the government right? They work for us.
No sign or anything from Bumbling Biden, Pete BootyGig, FEMA????
That’s right they don’t care for us common folk
They still sell water test kits at most major hardware stores, it may not be the best but it may give you an indication of what you're drinking
Home test kits not have the stuff to test. I'm wondering if there are any colleges that have research labs with the proper tools for testing. You might even get your results for free. Columbus has a pretty big and prestigious college.
Home water test kits testing for vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate, isobutylene etc. ?????????????????
@@rh162 you can buy industrial test kits online. It'll still register a difference in ph levels
@@cafemotorsports well for 1, i NEVER once said the water is safe to drink so idk who tf you think you're yelling at. And 2nd how tf am I wrong for saying that we as citizens can obtain the proper testing kits online as well as acute tests at hardware stores? How is not running a test (regardless of intensity) better than running a test? It's like saying "the fish are dead but there is no need to test the water". I don't believe you are THAT ignorant tho lmao
@@cafemotorsports and again, most basic tests will show evidence of contamination, once contamination is confirmed it'll be easier to obtain more accurate testing. But I guess I shouldn't assume everyone else knows that too
The algorithms can’t wait to bury this one!
Apparently, we are supposed to be watching our carbon footprint. That's probably why the air we breath and the water we drink is "so unimportant". The company should come through all the down wind areas to test the air, soil and water at least 3 times. No homeowner should be trying to get through to the lab, this should be done by those responsible. However, the more I think of it, I'm not sure I would trust what the owners' test results were. This stinks.
Look at how most news outlets stopped covering this 💀
Thanks for showing what water looks like.
that is so danger ⚠️ . Hope state will do something for help .
They know exactly what to test for 😕
Trust us. The government never lies. Truly a sad situation that I doubt greedy corporations will pay for. I hope everyone now sees why the Railroad union wanted to push for better safety requirements.
DO NOT do the medical ID device....
A couple years ago they also said that something was safe AND effective that wasn't. I can't recall what it was though. 🙄
Hey but look, a Chinese ballon fliying around. Thats the real story.....🤡
Distraction. And elections are coming.
it was just a matter of time till they truly messed around with the water supply, war on their own citizens, disgusting
Imagine still believing anything the federal government tells you.
But yall still worried about a possible temperature of 1 degree over 100 years
One does not negate the other..pollution is pollution, it's ALL bad.
The scout's knife is sharp on both edges, and it cuts in both directions
Tik tokkers reported on this first 😂
good. We need a revamp of society. Too much greed.
Don`t you just love it when there are dead fish in the stream and the EPA says , oh there is nothing to worry about, its safe. What is going on. Why are they lying?
This is the chemical equivalent to Chernobyl, the chemicals are just as carcinogenic as radiation.
The water IS contaminated.
But the government says otherwise. Who should we trust? The dead fish or the government?
bet yall my years salary that the American government will still send aid overseas instead of sending it to ohio
The names Times Beach and Love Canal return to memory at times like these.
Good luck.
Love Canal- is that the waterway that was burning? Literally.
Isn't it a "coincidence" that the movie "White Noise" predicted this right down to the town it happened in? Is that Dewine's idea of disclosure? Was it predictive programming for something planned?
Just a coincidence....obviously. No one would purposely cause destruction and suffering not to mention a health toll on thousands. Oh, wait a minute......
Was reading a post about someone who drove 70 miles east of here in the rain. His car was covered in a chemical residue.
The fact the train company lied about what it was transporting. Epa found additional chemicals not reported.
They burned it not because it was an explosion risk but because that was the fastest way to reopen the tracks to be used.
Gotta love our corporate run government.
That train company is probably going to be paying out a lot of money to residents in the area. What a terrible inconvenience. Schools had to be closed as well as businesses. And people were asked to evacuate East Palestine in Ohio. The area waterways will have to continue to be monitored.
@@dianebannister4591 I hope they pay out but reality is it'll be a group lawsuit at best and people will get very little actual cash to deal with health issues or even to up and move.

Pining for the fjords?
Gosh...it's almost like just a couple months ago railroad workers were trying like heck to raise safety concerns, ask for more time off and better paid sick leave and begging for greater regulatory oversight of the industry and the right wing establishment told them all to go pound sand. Sounds like most people in Ohio voted for this for this.
yeah its the "right wing" riiiiiight 🙄

I'm an international student studying at the OSU. I didn't hear about it until my mom asked me. What I know are all about the balloon 😂 since Feb.6
You mean since you released really toxic gas into the watershed? Who would've thought that?

She couldn't have said it better, "don't tell me it's safe when the fish are floating dead in the water".
Stuff are dying in it but its fine
They don’t know what to test for but don’t worry people, the water is safe. Ignore the floating fish and get yourself a booster shot.
What an absolute clown show. So sorry for that community.
How do they know the air is safe if they don’t know what to test for?
FIX THE PROBLEM NOW
Anyone who tells you the water is safe, should drink ONLY water from this area the following decades.
That containment boom is for oil not for chemicals and toxins.
Sad what our world is heading towards... I am not an environmentalist by any means, but the way things are heading in our world, there will be none. We take everything for granted, and I can't believe we haven't learned anything at all. No respect for anything or anyone anymore...
I am an environmentalist and things are so very bad. We are headed for chaos at an exponential speed. Usually whenever I try to spread any awareness I get called a fear monger, get laughed at, told I don't know what I'm talking about..etc, etc. It's so frustrating and depressing bc I have grandchildren.
