- We went down to East Palestine for a week to get residents’ side of the story after the Ohio rail disaster. People told us they’re getting sick and their pets are dying, while Norfolk Southern is trying to cover it up. John Russell (@heyjohnrussell) reports.

@@auntbutton905 Please wake up, Auntie. This is far beyond politics. This is the elites destroying this community so they can have the land.

OMG, seriously? How exactly, do you imagine that the "elites" got such power? Politics. That's how. Citizens United, duh. 2017 the administration changed the rail systems regulations, duh.
In the new regulations it stated that the railroad companies could self govern. In other words, they were no longer subject to state or federal regulations. As if any corporation can be trusted to regulate themselves. That's politics.
In 2017 Norfolk Southern spent $89 million on lobbying Congress, mire on campaign contributions, and got that really sweet deal, no equipment upgrade, self governing, etc. That's politics. The "elites" didn't arm themselves and shoot up Congress to get that power, they just called in that $89 million dollar favor. The return favor owed by elected officials. People that, guess what? We don't have to elect or reelect.
Do you imagine that you can change laws and regulations to ones that actually serve you by storming the Capitol and shooting up the place? Them"s with the most guns win? Barbaric neanderthal reaction is a pointless waste of time. It's the making of the laws and regulations (the politics) that gave the "elites" the power. And only politics will take that power away. If you don't support the candidates who will not crawl straight into the pockets of the corporations and special interest groups, then you might as well hand the deed to your property to the railroad companies right now. Because you get what you vote for. It's a good argument for knowing your elected leaders and candidates a lot better. Because half the country really has no clue how much and how often their elected leaders vote or act against their best interests.
It all comes down to politics. If things don't change for the better than enough people didn't vote better. No matter how impressive an armory you have in your basement, you can't use your gums to change laws and regulations that give the people's power ovee to the corporations and special interest groups. That's a thing that you change with your vote. Or not. You need to wake up and try to grasp the reality of how the "elites" that you fear and loathe got so powerful, and what it takes to change that fact.
We live in such a dystopia, the level of greed in this world is sickening.
Here it comes. Blame the RR company. Ignore the fact that the industry had been nationalized, (run by the government), for many decades now, and that means it is the governments responsibility. Here comes the attack on free enterprise companies, and they don't even exist in this industry anymore, or any industry anymore sans recreational industries, (to a declining extent itself). If you want to blame the people in charge, blame the government that took over the industry. They are responsible. The "company owners" are just caretakers, following orders. Follow communism if you want and blame the free enterprise that is not there. I know better.
@@EarthSurferUSA brother is out here bringing communism into this. greed, corruption, incompetence brought this onto the community, not politics, nor ideologies.
@@EarthSurferUSA I'm conservative and not stupid enough to kiss the ass of Norfolk Southern. Who did the government come in to take the pressure off in the rest of the cleanup and investigation? Norfolk Southern. Who ran the train long past the time they were being signalled that this train was "hot" and in danger? Norfolk Southern. The EPA is a craphole department of the government, but the government wouldn't be here if Norfolk Southern had done their damn job and made sure the train could continue or should be stopped before the derailment happened. Don't trust any entity whether corporations or government. Corporations run like a corrupt government and the US government runs like a third world corrupt government.
Those people are racist. They live better than floyd i can't breathe. They should remember mr floyd so floyd will help them. Moreover just kidding usa is richest country on earth. It is ok. Nothing more than baby need attention.
@@EarthSurferUSA You're clueless.
"You think politics don't involve you, until they directly involve you." Such a profound statement that everyone needs to hear, especially young people. It only takes a few of these horrific disasters to completely contaminate everything and shut down life as we know it. The people of Ohio deserve answers and accountability from the people who did this. Looking at the Norfolk CEO just sit there with a blank stare on his face while people plead with him is actually quite sinister. Lord help these people.🙏
Elected people are to be OUR SERVANTS. 🇺🇸We The People need to demand change. ✊National Work strike supporting Palestine💪🙏🌎✨
That's what happens when you vote Republican....
Yes where is the Ohio governor lifting up and fighting for the ppl?! EPA YOU ARE FAILING, you best reinstate all the safeties removed by the trump administration! So freaking disappointed by the federal response!
Where is your voted gov? Seriously!!
@@laureneholcomb1882 Same place Desantis was when they had that water crisis in Florida, or like Abbott during that infrastructure incident in Texas.🤔
This is journalism 👏 Crazy respect for this. I hope these people get the help they need and keep fighting against Norfolk Southern.
best I can tell, its not norfolk entirely, and its mostly the fault of the us gov cutting funding for cheap rail to sink money into the hole that is roads
If this was real journalism, then they'd be asking that dementia ridden incompetent leftist traitor in the WH why he hasn't these people any money. After all, Beijing Biden has no trouble sending billions to Ukraine and Iran. But he won't help out the people in OH because it's a Red state
It's biased tho...
If we are to survive as a nation, people’s lives and health must have more importance than corporate profit.
Thats too radical. What if instead just keep things as they are and surely the market with make everything right
We need regulate and prosecute the election and lobby processes. We won't see meaningful change in any pace that's helpful unless we get everyone from the big co offices and boards to our state and county legislature. Everyone in the chain has disconnected the entire chain from responsibility and accountability. Until these individuals are held for their personal actions, either short term or even long term choices and actions, they will keep not caring
wow! thats socialism! you comunist!.. xD lmao

@DensLight I just think they need to ban all additives. I don't understand why it should be legal to put basically poisons and toxins in a cigarette that is orally inhaled.
I like American Spirit brand. No additives. If you're gonna smoke, try to do so limitedly and use AS cigarettes. (Confession:
I use American Spirit cigarettes 😃)
But you probably guessed that
It amazes me how this is only covered by independent social media outlets like this and not by our "unbiased" media that refuse to.
It’s because it makes a handful of very powerful libs look like ineffective idiots.
It’s not media my man. It’s propaganda. They are a business owned and controlled by evil people. We are at war and most of us can’t even comprehend how disgusting the people with money are.
@@seanpetersen9326 The evil people are The Central Banks who control it all. This upcoming economic calamity was designed long ago and is being put into motion right now.
Well if the unbiased media reports it,they would have to disclose and remind folks who made safety the 4th care/step on the railways. Profits over safety is the way now thanks to the last guy at the white house.
@@loswilson5331 neo liberalism has been active for longer than 1 or 2 terms. I'd hope that would be obvious 2 decades ago, if not before then.

It is a disgrace how this town and its people have been treated. Something must be done about it.
Im a hazmat technician. Before I got laid off because of the pandemic, I worked for an Environmental protection company that was on the first call list for Norfolk Southern. I did countless small jobs cleaning up very small spills here and there. Until a train derailment in Juniata County Pennsylvania. Granted, the cars were only carrying concrete powder. But from my experience working a NS derailment I can say with unwavering certainty that NS doesnt care about residents, their own employees, contract workers or anyone. I spent nearly 2 months working that derailment and not once did I see a single NS representitve on site. NS knows how crucial they are to the grand economic infrastructure of the nation and they use that leverage at every single corner. There is nothing they can't evade. Nothing will be done here long term. NS has the money to suppress news, manufacture their own, bat down virtually every lawsuit and they're gooooood at it. They've been doing this an extremely long time
Maybe it's time to Pursue them down a Different Avenue!! 🔥👍
Time to absolutely tear the system down and hold these criminals accountable?

Absolutely correct
I am shaking, trying to find the right words. I moved away from Columbiana County 30 years ago. I thought some of the experiences I had growing up there could never be properly voiced; that it's past has had the same toxic problems.
I am leaving a comment for the creator of this excellent piece of our shared "home town". I want you to know my family had their reunions at East Palestine park last 3rd Sunday of July...at least we did.
Also...I had a Stop WTI shirt in Fifth grade. Thought only a few knew of that forgotten tragedy.
Thank you for your diligence
I worked with that chemical as a compounding operator for over 5 years we had a few different situations where it caught fire inside a heat mixer or simply got hot enough to start smoking. Even just the smoke without an actual fire we had to clear the building and weren't even allowed in the area of the building for days. I used to leave daily covered in the powder every single day just part of the job. Had a dog who was fully healthy for 3.5 years before I started working with it. Less than a year later he started having seizures we didn't know anything at the time and spent at least 30k over the next 2-3 years between medication testing animal hospital stays for as long as 10 days. He would have 1 then another and another every few months even went 8 or 9 months without any but each episode was an average of 10+ in a 24 hour period. I now 6 years after I left the job have a spot under my eye which started as a small spot on my cheek bone/bottom of the eye socket area on my face is now almost the size of my thumb nail and just in the last 2 weeks has spread to my lower eyelid where the eye lashes are but work fulltime just have no insurance and will need it removed also need plastic surgery to repair since it's on the eye lid so I feel for those residents I'm also in ohio just down near Cincinnati. Even if I got the surgery done I drive forklifts and yard trucks to move semi trailers for a living and wouldn't be able to do that for however long it took to heal because I'd have 0 vision in that eye while it heals so just forced to keep putting it off and eventually I am afraid it will possibly cause damage to that eye but can hardly afford living and paying Bill's as it is so I understand them going back to work because they have no choice. Sad that in America in 2023 if you work but can't afford and/or not offered insurance through work but just scrape by you dont qualify for help insurance wise. But you can be a complete waste of space capable of working but wont and get 100% free healthcare??? Broken system they have in place and it's a joke. And healthcare.gov is also a joke decent insurance making 40k a year before taxes and whatever else you pay it says its 350 a month which I don't have lmao so working class people get the shaft period.
not only a 'waste of space' but also an 'illegal alien' can get medi-cal/medicaid. definitely screwed-up and put into place by liberals.
I'm from Wales UK and this has been barely reported on. I have found information via CZcams. Thank you for reporting this. These people must be held accountable. Sending love and hope to all those affected by this disaster.
They don’t report it in the US either, not as much as it should be and they don’t show this side.
@@jonathankahl6302 theres nothing here. its just a bunch of people yelling about nothing looking to point fingers. its totally inaccurate to call this as "disaster". its a relatively minor industrial accident. it will get cleaned up, everything will be fine, and life will move on. people want to act like they're the main characters in a movie or something. the worst that happened here is that people had to spend a weekend in a hotel and the air smelled a little funny for a while. that's it. the water is fine, the air is fine. people aren't going to get cancer. there's no cover up, they don't need prayers.

@@jeanjaz good luck! Americans are too lazy and/or greedy to even help themselves. I guess we get what we deserve
rail workers told that these things would happen. do to cut down on employees and have only 1, not 2 people working same time on trains at working on its rail systems.
Reminds me of when law enforcement investigates themselves, what a joke.
It is ridiculous that everyone is aware of what northfolk is doing and there is nothing that they can do about it, this video deserves millions of more views.
There's plenty people can do but nobody has a backbone anymore to do anything about it
@@ShadowFlamer25 I don’t think it’s only that but what can normal people like us do like against a government or large corporation. You saw how hard it was for twitter too finally go down and that was in plain sight since it was made.
It's same procedure for derailment. Keep media out, investigate themselves and not care. It's same like that with everything. Automated and without regard for another.
@@ShadowFlamer25 straights never had a backbone
Thank you for talking about this! It's in the water supply! Ohio is bottling this water and selling it! New Jersey already had to pull polluted water off the shelves after testing it. A trainload of toxic chemicals has to spill out on Wall Street before anyone will do anything...
This video made me ugly cry. WTI is in my back yard. I raise 4 kids under 18 alone. I feel trapped and I don't know what to do. Great video. Respect to your mom 💕 (was her name Terry??) I have a lot of information and I'd love to talk with you about this disaster.
I think the most you can do is prepare, we see constantly that both sides of the government do not give a fuck about us so we just need prepare for when they leave us on our own. Ik it seems like an easy solution but try to get into prepping and try to get your community prepared for other disasters. God bless, love you and stay safe.
Hey! Would love to get in touch! My email is in my profile here. Please reach out if you’re free soon
look up the effects of noise pollution as well, I would also recommend looking into channels like NotJustBikes. The rail issue is not only the fault of the companies but also the fault of the united states government, who made a bad investment into vehicles and are just using the sunk cost fallacy to not give any more funding for rail.
People suck, politics suck, but this goes deeper than consolidation of these companies, especially because the past few times they consolidated was more mandated to stay in business rather than a ploy for money (although it was probably also for the money).
Trains are not the issue, the lack of infrastructure is, and governments just dont pay to upkeep it because car companies have worked so hard to destroy it.
I live here too. I can literally see WTI from my front yard. I know how you feel mama. Just know you aren't alone in feeling trapped and wanting better for our kids.
Fucking sickening that we dump stupid amount of money to Ukraine but nothing to our own people? Fucking sad and hurts my heart….
This is a really tragic story and here in Scotland we are very sad because you guys are not getting help.
The last couple of years have been very hard for all around the world, but for you guys in America specially with the weak government and massive cover ups.
It’s really, really distressing.😔
I feel most Americans, myself included, are very embarrassed of the image we have at present. I feel other countries see the U.S. how we see Floridians. All because our government won’t listen to us and there’s still too many people living in the brainwash.
It really is scary
Thank You, For Kind Words, The Truth. Bc We Are Under Demonic Attacks From Every Turn.,
Making it out to be worse then it is. I have family there and have been there since before the spill. Its nothing like what the media is making it out to be. Its actually less worse then they are making it out to be. Its a cover up for whats going on with china and the us. If your eyes and minds are focused elsewhere nobody will pay attention to what they are actually doing (they being the gov) . Wake up america
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ nobody does and or will anymore. Your sham religion has been exposed as the gov made up lie to control sheep like you . The truths out . And you wonder why your religion is crumbling to the ground.

They need more than our prayers. I know many are on tight budgets - but I suggest that these families relocate to seasonal rentals in rural areas. Black Lake NY has a really large fishing cabin area. Many of these rentals are furnished, have kitchens, are heated and insulated, have free parking, and plenty of beds and bedrooms. I stayed there myself. God bless.

I had a conversation with a member of the public utilities commission who was doing an audit of my workplace. He shed some light on the cause of the derailment and my jaw dropped. Railroads have trackside warning detectors that detect things like a wheel on fire, for example. It’s a common occurrence. When those wayside detectors sound an alarm, it’s transmitted to dispatch and then dispatch contacts the train crew and instructs them further. Usually, crews are required to stop their train, inspect it, and set out the problem car somewhere out of the consist of the train. This particular train passed two functioning wayside detectors and both times an alarm was transmitted to dispatch. Both times, dispatch ignored the problem because the crew was “short on time.” Federal law prohibits railroad workers from exceeding 12 hours of service. It was more important to NS to get this train to its destination without calling another crew to relieve them, than it was to follow proper procedure. They were trying to save a buck.

Look very carefully at the disgusting face of that executive when a resident explains the damage that was done. You can see the emotions he's trying to hide by looking at one half of his face. The right half is completely blank, maybe with a slight bit of frustration. But the left half holds all his emotions. Decide for yourself, but it looks like some combination of anger, rage, disgust, or contempt. There's zero empathy or remorse for his actions. He genuinely doesn't care about the damage he did. Instead, he's upset because someone else is pointing out his cruelty and the pain he caused. That's a man with no morals and no redemption.
Isn't it ironic that 2023 started with tragic event in East Palestine (Ohio) and now 2023 year ending with watching tragic events unfolding in nation of Palestine? Just like an omen.
In Senate hearings today, Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw repeatedly danced around any real answers and made virtually no specific commitments to the people of East Palestine. It seemed the best he could say was, “We want to make this right.”
The congress folk were much to civil, soft and polite to Alan Shaw, in my opinion. He is responding devilishly.
No doubt Mr. Shaw was well coached by his attorneys.

If I had the floor like the gentleman at 10:57, I would've said this:" I now say something which the rest of my town may not share my opinion on. You will all get away with this. The law will shield you from justice. Norfolk Southern owes us in total every scrap of commercial and residential property value as well as the land under it, well above asking price. As well as restitution for our livestock, our jobs, relocation, and retraining for new careers and occupations. Our healthcare ought to be paid for in full, regardless of whether health issues arise from your negligence or not, for life. Time will tell how many of us will die from the chemicals you let spill and burn so irresponsibly. Furthermore, this country holds that we are promised life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. You, the governor of this state, and your executive board have robbed us of all three. And in a just world, all of you would be strung up on the gallows, and your personal assets seized to help pay the cost of the untold number of lives you have stolen today for the sake of your greed."
That's what I'd say.

Or get together and block the railway untill their demands are met. It will be messy, but it will get results and save lives.
@@ferdievanschalkwyk1669 rail is critical infrastructure and interfering with it would likely be considered domestic terrorism. While I agree with the sentiment, blocking or destroying railroads will not end well for those who attempt it.
@@na976 very true, which is why I said it would get messy. You need a sufficient number of people to participate, or it will fail. A few hundred have no chance, but a few thousand.

@Babs Kaz This is why it is crucial to appeal to people that have platforms and wealth in combination, like Erin Brokovich. I’m sure no one would have an issue with volunteering up fundraisers for this if there’s not already some, which I’m sure there probably are; just hope the funds raised are used wisely to make something like a class action lawsuit happen.

I don’t know what you do for a living, John Russell. All I know is you have a great talent as a reporter for the people who speaks truth. You should stay on this and keep reporting no matter how much it costs personally. This is your time to speak for the people and stay in Norfolk Southern’s face. Do it for future generations. They need men to stand up.

I rented a place in a neighborhood located near a superfund site in my early 20's and the city made a huge effort to cover up how dangerous it was. When a group of citizens in my neighborhood formed a committe to speak at city hall, they were told that the reason that they chose to cover it up is because they don't want to cause a mass panic due to the fact that there is no cure for cancer and they basically would have to shut down a huge part of the city. Lots of people would end up losing their houses and commercial properties. So, they thought the best thing to do was to just sweep things under the rug. We had men in hazmat suits come take samples of the dust in our homes. People are dying of rare cancers and giving birth to kids with organs outside of their body and some just missing organs altogether.
Tragic. We've got to do better than this.
Where was it at?
Hanford area? Or somewhere else?
If they just dealt with everything from day 1 the correct way, the right way, instead of lie after lie after lie, the country and the world would be such an amazing place. Instead it's cover up after cover up and deceit ?? Why not deal with it head on and be truthful ?? I don't get it! It's like there is nobody left that has any integrity or morals, or even human decency and compassion ?? Sad and unbelievable !!
This is just horrific & tragic!... I can't even begin to imagine what our fellow Americans are feeling or going through!.... 😔
I've driven through there only 2 months ago. People still need help and nobody cares. This isn't a Democrat or Republican issue. This is a government failure. People need help and the government has abandoned them. I felt ashamed to be an American seeing that.
I’ve been wondering how those people are doing. Did it look like a lot of people have moved away? Are most businesses open?

Uh no. The working class shut down socialism in America. It's the rich that want it. Come on dude. Tell me you've never read a book without telling me.
Doing better than the news isn't that hard when the news is just propaganda these days. What's hard is actually being there to do the journalism - it costs money that most people can't readily afford. Big thanks to this channel and others like it for volunteering their time and other resources to provide their own coverage.
It’s sad that this company is able to continue doing things this way with the amount of physical,environmental and medically the present and future damage that these catastrophes will cause our population. There needs to be a better way of handling these problems for ways that they won’t repeat again.
I agree. Real journalism going on here - real questions too.

A few years ago, West Virginia residents were faced with a similar environmental devastation when a chemical storage tank leaked into the Elk River (the source of intake for the state's largest water supplier). Residents were told it was safe. It was not. Everything smelled of black licorice. Before that, I wasn't even aware of a chemical called MCHM.
Even today, the area is experiencing a huge increase of malignant cancers in adults and children as well as canines and felines. The poor residents of East Palestine are just beginning the walk into the land of unknown health & environmental consequences. These people running corrupt corporations need to be held accountable.

The people responsible and staying quiet, people in Government positions and the companies of people responsible, is shameful in my opinion.
NSW Australia
I responded to an emergency repair call down to East Palestine to preform diagnostics on one of the water pumps they had running (private company owned). My shop was the 4th business they called for someone to come down to look at it as all other shops told them to bring it in to their shops, but they did not want to stop the pump with the work that was going on. I responded, driving 2 hours down to the site they had the pumps, and I was concerned. I brought a mask, even a gas mask just in case (my own paranoia). I did not notice any odd smells, though I was concerned about the water vapors from the pump outputs, or well, the mist from the nozzles, tossing out any of the particulates that got into the water back into the air where I was working. Talking to some of the workers, they are also left in the dark with a lot of stuff as the Ohio EPA is trying to get the situation under control after what NS crews left behind.
This situation was clear from the start to be a complete fiasco when the news came out, we all knew there was going to be cover ups, the question now is, how bad is it truly going to be.
Imagine, sitting in a room with your boss. You boss tells you, you're going to get a decent raise in your annual salary and all you have to do is go to a little town, smile and fake that you have all the answers and everything is going to be ok.
I hope you sleep well Norkolk.

Look into the company "CTEH" that's who they've hired to come in and aid them in cover up. Company specializes in just that.
Oh sure enough, they make an appearance at 3:30 in the video. I hadn't watched the whole thing yet.
I've heard a lot of people from there say the water is NOT SAFE still today. I would get all of them out of there.

Saw Erin Brockovich speak last night in West Chester, PA so wanted to search for some vids on the current state of East Palestine. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this disaster that should not have happened, had NorFuck been more concerned with safety rather than the almighty dollar. And the EPA is a joke! Keep fighting EP!
How badly are you affected by these chemicals in PA? I know for sure that these toxic chemicals are all over the place.
@@janisjackson7322 that cloud is going north east and will run all the way into northeastern Ontario, through Southern Ontario Canada, possibly further.
When companies want to make that extra buck (and they all do) the first thing they do is cut every safety and environmental regulation they can get away with; then they ask their industry lobbyists to go to DC and state capitals to strip away whatever state and federal safety and environmental regulations that are left. Accidents like this are the result of late stage capitalism and decades of lobbyist's work; and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the decades of propagandists in all forms of media saturating the airwaves with idea that less environmental and safety regulations is a good thing for the average person. Now the brain rot of "regulation = bad" is so deep that even after a disaster like this there will be tons of average people against creating better safety and environmental regulations in place to prevent disasters like this.
Greedy idiots who ruin their own environment locally and internationally. They really think they can live underground like moles and escape the consequences of their deadly actions. In the end, if nothing else, nature will destroy them since our planet is essentially shot.

I have been deathly sick since February 4, 2023 and I live in Bensalem Pennsylvania.

You should award east Palestine $1 billion which is only pocket change you!
Well some of the chemicals released were used as weapons in ww1 i believe and these people are trying to cover it all up…

Remember when the Chernobyl reactor melted? The authorities did everything to convince the world nothing had happened. When everyone knew something had happened, just not what exactly.
Chernobyl was caused by greed. The Soviet union knew their reactors did not meed safety standards, but they were cheap. A similar accident had happen years before.
Some of us continue to make decisions that cost thousands of lives. To earn money that they don't need.

They did the same thing on 9/11. They don't care about anything long term , they just want the heat off of themselves now so someone else can deal with it later
And that they thought blowing up a train with toxic chemicals was a good idea. Doesn’t look like a contained release.

Ever wonder if the severe fatigue we suffer on the job, might have caused these issues? The railroads should give all transportation workers two consecutive days off per week and seven paid sick days. As a railroader myself, we have none. One must work six days in a row, to get 48hrs off. But the railroads hold a person for 24h and 1min to reset the clock to avoid us from having 48h off. A nice game they play with fatigue. Do the research.
Truth
Criminal politicians and their handlers are destroying the working poor.
In so many ways.
Stand tall....and fight dirty.....they will.
It may have played a role (and likely has in the many other recent derailment..there have been several), but this particular incident was a weight distribution issue first of all. The cars were not lined up correctly because they were trying to save time (money). Workers had reported about this safety issue multiple times before this actually happened. It was a ticking time bomb. I'm sorry you're having to work like that brother, that is intense. Looking around it's hard to believe this is the same country I grew up in..where did the soul of it go? So many cold and stony hearts..Take care of yourself.

We Railroad workers were trying to draw attention to the crap last fall before the potential strike. The media just talked about how much our raise was.
