Safety regulations were ignored and a train carrying deadly chemicals derailed. There are reports it’s already killing animals. x This may be one of the largest ecological disasters in US history. There were roughly 100,000 gallons or 1,000,000 pounds of Vinyl Chloride leaked, spilled and burned at #EastPalestine crash. Acid rain and Phosgene will decimate the zones ecology. pic.twitter.com/Lk8sGHBAUs — Frank Castiglione (@CastiglioneFrnk) February 7, 2023 nypost.com/… Over time this will kill more people than any mass shooting. x Breaking my 2yr Twitter silence bc I’m sick about how this is so clearly downplayed by officials and “journalists”. This is my car today after driving through a spurt of rain…70+ MILES SE OF THE INCIDENT. My car was spotless at 3pm today. pic.twitter.com/1vZJekNYSq — •••• (@me__0070) February 8, 2023 [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/2/12/2152597/-3-000-sq-miles-in-Ohio-and-Pennsylvania-are-now-toxic-and-could-be-for-years Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
