I know it was a crap ton of vinyl chloride that was spilled and burned up too, although I don’t know much about the chemical…. But I’m seeing stuff spread on TikTok and even on FB talking about how widespread this could be and potentially reach….
I don’t live there or even near it, but there was a map showing the water and where it all flows and everything, and it looks like it could reach as far down as the South (which is where I am) since whatever water source it was talking about (don’t remember specifically) meets up with another at some point (maybe it was the Mississippi?) and flows down towards this way and thru my state
Seems like this isn’t getting near the attention it SHOULD be getting unless it’s being overblown but idk

It's the biggest toxic disaster in US history.
Pretty much everyone who gets water from the ohio river is fuk'd.
Pittsburgh and PA got hit with a cloud of phosgene.

I hear it’s being overhyped. Train derailments happens often and this is a standard way of disposing of chemicals.
See you tomorrow

Potentially very bad. See the outlined area.

If you want more detailed information this is supposed to be good, but I haven't put in the time myself.
https://www.americaoutloud.com/train...ect-5-million/
As I understand the story at this time:
- train was on fire before the derailment
- railroad company was the party which pushed for a controlled burn of the material instead of removing to new tanks
- nearby residents were evacuated, but later told to come back because it was safe
- except it wasn't safe and the area has been declared a Superfund site
- there have been attempts to get residents to sign waivers and to have testing done by untrustworthy parties

Link:
- railroad offering to get people who are renting moved out, dunno about homeowners

Link:
- there was a big meeting last night for the local townspeople and the railroad didn't show because of "safety concerns"

Link:
- the surrounding area has a lot of farming and the highest population of Amish [aka: most likely to survive without the supply chain/government, also large number of control group members/no mrna vax]

Link:
- those with wells were told to get their wells tested, river water is not being used for drinking water, and the contamination to the river goes at least into West Virginia as of a couple of days ago
