Sheriff’s deputies in East Palestine are still going door to door urging residents to evacuate. NTSB investigators say 20 train cars were carrying hazardous materials, 10 of which derailed. Officials say the air quality and the water supply remain safe and are being monitored, but the Ohio EPA says some material entered local waterways before containment measures were in place.

#Ohio #Train #Toxic
Gee I wonder what biden can use this as ? Raise prices for toilet paper? Oops to late.
What about the toxic threat happening on a constant basis for one year in Ukraine? Egomaniacs are destroying our planet as well as killing hundreds of thousands of young men.
So sad.. Bless Ohio..
Only in ohio
if the government say its not toxic and its safe I suggest don’t believe it, cuz they don’t really care to the people… all they want is your tax money
The Balloon
This is horrible and it’s just sad that people can’t take this seriously because it happened in Ohio. This isn’t something to be joking around with. Screw you Ohio memers who think this is funny
😩
Only in Ohio
I wouldn’t evacuate without my animals
this is how night of the living dead started
The US is basically a third world country
How to Conquer Fear – A Kabbalist’s Advice
Just let the fear go. Don’t think about what will happen in the next moment.
We know nothing about what is truly going on in our lives. It is thus best for us to just let go. We hold such potential within us. Letting go of our fears requires some training, but we need it.
Fear comes from our will to control situations we find ourselves in, and when we cannot control them. When we let go of fear, we then seemingly control the situations from another end. For instance, take one of the most common fears: the fear of death. Our death is inevitable. Accepting the fact that we will certainly die, we can then imagine how the world will continue developing after we are gone, agree with that picture, and let go of any current fear we have.
There are no set steps, however, for how to let go of fear. It is different for each and every person. Some people start thinking along the lines of “What will happen to the world after I’m gone?” “How will my loved ones and my relatives continue their lives?” “What will happen with my inheritance?” and “How will my legacy unfold?” Faced by these questions, we need to make another correction—of our attitude toward life and death, which is behind our every fear.
We should transform our fears into an absolute surrender to the will of nature—the will bestow that created and sustains us—which requires us to make a certain kind of effort. We might still have to go through a lot of frightening moments until we reach the end of our earthly path, so we should try to calm ourselves down.
The laws of nature that created and sustain us, and which we are ultimately being led to discover, are in a state of absolute calmness and rest. We should thus aim to emulate nature’s calmness.
We are calm when we are not worried about what will happen in the next moment. It is a difficult point to express because it is not simply about flowing with the currents of life. On the contrary, we need to rely on the laws of nature that operate on us at every moment, which control everything and everyone.
Since we live within fixed and determined laws of nature that are in total control over our lives, then we have nothing to worry about. Do we want to interfere with the laws that are driving everyone and everything through corrections? Of course we don’t. We then might as well calm down and move on with our lives.
That state of calmness indicates agreement. It means that we agree with the laws of nature, which is quite difficult, because we always want to hold back, check what is happening in nature’s plans, and argue that maybe things should play out a bit differently.
Only in
Ohio 💯💯💯

We wouldn’t tell you the honest truth if it does impact your health
Yet we thought China is bad, the americans are even worst with how they handle toxic chemicals.
📖🕯📜
Budget cuts ship more freight for Less nothing to happen it’ll be okay we do it all the time skip maintenance on those trucks will get it next month
Ok but I recently watched this movie… it was called White Noise.
Not so Swag in Ohio rn…
Ohio really is the worst state. They prove it week after week
these railroad companies are pushing for only one person to run these traits makes you think what Cuts have they been doing to their maintenance departments
as long as Warren Buffet makes another billion….
only in ohio
How can this be East Palestine, Palestine is in the middle east. Shouldn’t this be West Palestine? O.o’
😶
We are killing this earth like wow someone really dropped the ball hopefully it was due to worn out parts actually that’s not better anyway and we wonder why people have cancer all these chemicals constantly being pumped into the environment affecting us someone has to be responsible for ppl being exposed to it especially with all the stuff in place to prevent this
Helicopters haven’t dropped flame retardants for chemical contaminants yet?
This can happen anytime- anywhere. Trains ( freight) carry many chemicals. Feel so sorry for displaced folk.
Down in ohio swag like ohio down in ohio swag in ohio down in ohio
Yeah, the EPA says the water is safe. Really? It doesnt take a scientist to know that vinyl chloride will pollute the water. DON’T DRINK IT!!
And the air quality is safe…but evacuate.
the whole world and a lot of people are toxic….Romans 1:18-32
That is so nuts, due to circumstances i dream very heavily, tonight i was in bed early didnt know about this when i went to sleep but i dreamt about a train crashing tonight and it woke me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sending curses to everyone affected.
Keep it classy America. Your exceptionalism is showing 😐
Ruskies are sooooo much better 😆
@Ronald Reagan Rim Jobs I despise Russians. “Russian civilization” is an oxymoron. You muppets can take heart in the fact that “hey… at least I’m not Russian”. Unless you are. Then… oh well.
Only in Ohio
Pittsburg is Natures Cornacupia
It happened because of the terrible state that so many America rail systems, and the cars are in…. happens in the USA far too often.
That is because America worships money.
I blame the government
Isn’t this the plot of White Noise?
Ahhh progress! Overconsumption is not sustainable. We are awful.
The Mississauga derailment was also caused by an axle issue.
Same as Casselton, ND.
has become such a cheap pos.
Ohio moment
Can’t even breathe in Ohio 💀
Cliché
Vinyl chloride – not good at all
they lying to you bruh
We have to start doing things in different ways. These toxic spills are horrific! We must mimic nature and use substances that are naturally available. Biomimicry must be the way of the future
Blame someone else.
Problem solved.🙄
Only in ohio
They are not aware of any elevated readings that would impact human health! IF HE WOULD’VE BURST INTO FLAMES, I DON’T THINK ANYONE WOULD HAVE FLINCHED!🤔 AMERICA TRIES TO SLIM DOWN AND TAKE BETTER CARE TO STAY AWAY FROM THE DEATH-DEALERS….I MEAN DOCTORS..THEN THEY DO THIS! THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GET AWAY HUHH…..THOUGHT YOU WERE SLICK TO TO TRY AND GET OUT OF OUR GRIP AAEE’…..WEEEEEELLLLLL-YOOOOUUUUUULLL-BEEEEE-BACK! WE GUARANTEE IT🫵☠️
Is that why there making memes of Ohio because is not safe
Woe to the inhabitants on earth🥀 Repent ❣️
This country is cursed. Or is it karma? 🤔
Seems common since Biden took office.
Not saying he had anything to do with it but the observation is legit.
I can’t help but suspect that this could be sabotage orchestrated by a foreign power.
Similar to the power distribution plants that were attacked.
I can’t say for certain, though.
The reason why this keep happening is because the consequences cost less then maintenance. The consequences need to a 100 times more expensive then top notch maintenance cost – so executives make sure things do not break down.
If people are too ignorant to evacuate, that’s on them. Let them accept their Darwin awards.
Y’all late to the story! I watched this movie the other night on Netflix or peacock…can’t say y’all did it better.
Ohio just got a whole lot crazier
I feel terrible for the animals in the area.. they can’t escape it
Omg… Imagine if it was a passenger train…
So they have been pouring 1000’s of gallons of water on those cars that are burning for days now so it’s a guarantee that those chemicals are mixing with the water and will be absorbed into the ground just like rain water is and make it’s way in to natural underground water supplies that feed city and home drinking water wells in the next few days.
Our Rail systems must be improved , take it out of the hands of the CEO’S of the Rail Companies
I don’t think it’s the railroad companies fault that the conductor hit a semi truck with a large metal beam on it.
@Tony’s Place that was Tennessee
I came her to say Ohio has been making a bad name for itself lately its even a meme now
The plan is going as scheduled….
PSR???
This is the plot of White noise.
I have heard a reporter saying “the water is discolored but its safe to drink”, a hazmat official said “the air quality is fine” while evacuating the entire town for “fumes”. Good think I don’t drink the Koolaid.
If this was a good country
1: the toxic substances would have been in special containers.
2: still: the state governments would be telling the truth about the air quality.
someone needs to be held accountable for this!
anyone see the movie “white noise”??
When is the federal government going to start holding railroads accountable for the increasing number of derailment caused by precision schedule railroading and lack of proper maintenance?
Thank you for mentioning PSR! Really disappointing the lack of comments calling out the freight rail companies for practically bringing this onto themselves.
What fed governor… 😳 we have an insane asslym in DC J
Swag like Ohio
So how did it happen? Kinda fishy!
I live 20 min from here, it smells like burning metal and an eerie fog in the air. Stay safe out there.
So besides to have solar panels cuz “ Ohio “ now I have to take care of my air? Why am I paying taxes? This is f up, you are pushing Ohio to be off the grid
Water is contaminated, thanks Ohio, if I get cancer you are getting the bill
This was planned
It happens only in ohio
You would think after 100+ years trains would be the absolute safest way to travel and move materials.
@Greg Meola oh, I know the stats my husband is a conductor.
Pipelines are safer
@Greg Meola Both are less safe than pipelines!
@Rack unless you’re a waterway
@The Purple-Bear Still safer. Far fewer incidents based on volume shipped.
It’s bidens fault for forcing rail workers back to work if they was still on strike it would of never happened
Down in Ohio
Swag like Ohio
Only in ohio
Hello
Increased risk ? Try a guarantee of cancer
It’s not super surprising given the quality of the rail system in the United States versus virtually every other place in the world that has a developed rail. Tragic and devastating for sure but unexpected completely!? no chance
Only in ohio 🫠
I remember when they started cutting the car & track inspector jobs… and went to a roll by camera system… this is the cost of cutting jobs to save money.. praying for all affected by this
Nothing to see here move along now
Well they definitely should not have put any water 💦 on that fire 🔥!
I guess pipelines are safer
Who knew?
Good o us quality….
Only in ohio
*Normal Day In Ohio* 😀😀😀
oh no, I hope Sam is okay.
Only in Ohio 💀
Looks like America’s Chernobyl on purpose
Train derailments are cool.
Probably, China or Russia is behind that, especially after shooting down the surveillance balloon.
Just more human error f*cking up the environment.
