Officials said a train carrying hazardous materials derailed Friday night, causing a massive fire in East Palestine, Ohio. Thousands were ordered to evacuate. The NTSB is investigating the cause of the crash, but residents now fear they could be inhaling harmful toxins. NBC News’ Dana Griffin takes a closer look at the potential long-term effects.

#Ohio #Train #Fire
Cancer train!
Those profit driven executives and shareholders to blame
now like closer at ca fires
China ready to strike
Only in Ohio bruh💀
No health risk? That’s an outright lie!
Within the Emergency Response Guidebook. Page 116 for Vinyl Chloride states under Health risks. 1. Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. 2. Some may be toxic if inhaled at high concentrations. 3. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. 4. Fire may produce irritation and/or toxic gases. And for someone who is a first responder who lies to the public to state that Vinyl Chloride has caused no serious health risk is lying to say the least. What about those that had to evacuation that live next to those railroad tracks or anyone within 800 meters (1/2 mile)? These news conferences are to inform the public but to state that residents should go to any Norfolk Southern shelter is not in their best interest. NS will do anything and everything to keep the damage caused to a bare minimum. Don’t listen to Norfolk Southern and hire a private attorney who has nothing to do with this accident or the company named.
Welcome to America 2023
Yep! Those people are all gonna have to sue the people responsible for this derailment when they all get cancer and hopefully, they will receive their money before they die. This could even lead to birth defects in children of people exposed. And that comment about the drinking water being safe when they found vinyl chloride in the stream is gaslighting at its finest.
Down on Ohio swag like Ohio
Normal day in Ohio
I think you mean Israel
So drinking water and air isn’t safe
Vinyl chloride is one of the most toxic substances when it’s burned just nasty
And that’s one in a million ways how any one of us can end up homeless, folks. Have mercy.

safest train in ohio
Stop the cap🧢
this is why we need to invest in our infrastructure to make better and safer rails
Uh we did it was laundried out to ufuckingcrane.
This is the responsibility of the rail companies. Instead of investing in their infrastructure and workforce, they cut corners. Accidents like this are just a cost of doing business as long as the execs get their bonuses and the shareholders get their dividends.
@sasoto6 it’s Ufickingkarain Bish………get it right.
ohio on 100
Ohio, don’t let the idiots tell you it’s not bad. I’m a hazmat driver, and this stuff is no joke.
What should residents do to prevent issues
@Monica Renée prevention is irrelevant its happening whether you like it or not. I think what you mean to ask is “how should residents respond to what is happening” GTFO!!!! and pray
Leave, and when you come back have anything that Is absorbative taken out
Ohio activity
Whoa sorry this happened
Only in Ohio 💀💀💀
Hoping it had no connection to Sino-Russian wargaming or that balloon 😮… hoping no lives are blighted or lost; hoping systems of health & safety & simple, basic, security measures are being reviewed, analysed and tightened up.
Why is this in the news? This is normal
Are you suggesting trains crash and release toxic fumes in an uncontrollable fire every day?
Jesus justice why do you think Jesus doesn’t let up on these devils and serves them pain after pain cause they are not human they are nasty filthy corrupt devils!
Ask white Jesus to come save you!
Prayers for the firefighters
Of course its safe🙄..it’s Ohio..
Least exciting train station in Ohio
That happened in San Antonio , TX years ago . People died with the fumes.
He just lied to y’all
“It’s burning into the air and being released through a release valve” . “But there’s no risk to the public” 🤔
someone doesn’t like Norfolk southern. It is the 2nd serious accident within 6 weeks
There we go more of this 🙌 👏
pray every one is ok hope it is taken care of
No zombie? No thanks
Zero health risks …???
Nothing to see here
Only in Ohio
Blame the balloon
It couldn’t be a bunch of hoppers full of grain or cars full of building supplies. But a bunch of tankers hauling volatile liquid..
Those happen as well. Rightfully so they don’t receive the same level of coverage.
No matter the stock market crash one needs to have different portfolio, I already invested in Forex and Crypto which are really profitable
A friend that I referred to her just received €24,050 profit after 6days of investing…. I became jealous.. Lol
Who else trades with expert Lorraine Tammy?
@Jessica Jessica I have also been trading with her,The profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet.I made up to $200,000 in 2months trading with her platform
Yes I can believe that, I got victory with her. I was so sad after receiving the first pay knowing I invested so low with fear and doubt
I’ve got 12th winning thanks to Expert Lorraine Tammy , she’s really the best, I’ve made a lot during this period
It’s just like “White Noise” movie
Why do we have cities in the USA named Palestine and Moscow? 😔😔😔😔🙄🙄🙄. I just don’t get that. But I also don’t get it WHY we let half of eastern Europe move here.
You only know about your country from seeing the news, clearly. Thats pretty pathetic
Cry more
This same thing happened in Italy about 8 years ago….there were many people killed and the aftermath was devastating regarding the pollution.
Tell that Fire Chief to shut up. He has no idea what inhaling vinyl chloride does to a human.
Of course they’re going to say that…can’t put people on the edge and cause panic.

“The towns drinking water is safe”
Yeah, stop me if you’ve heard that before.
What caused the fire? I have not been to Ohio since my children were very small, and they have never been there.
The residents are just about as safe as their drinking water
#getoutquick
Wow Jesus
First let’s pray that no one gets hurt or sick from the chemicals. But there has been quite a few train derailments lately. This infrastructure needs work ASAP.
Show me the money
Yes… prayer should always be the first action… How do you people get out of bed?
Zero health risk?!?! Ya ok Fu Manchu….sleep well.
🙏♥️
What people’s animals 😢
No evidence of health hazard detected but we can detect with our eyes.. when they tell you it’s safe, run.
Oh oddd just like that Netflix movie
Happened in Tennessee people’s animals started dying, and I’m sure people who lived by this have had issues also, but hush money was payed
Of course those responsible will say nothing to fear here just brain cancer an a few other cancers but we are paid to tell u not to be concerned about ur health and safety as We get paid well to lie
The new Flint Michigan 🤫
Prayers for everyone down wind, like Pittsburgh, and everyone else like me …
No prayers for Democrats.
@Abby The Hound Dog this comment perfectly explains the political state of America
I highly doubt y’all know what’s going, their will be some kind of issue bc of all the chemical burning
Windy app shows winds are headed straight towards Buffalo. I can’t believe he said no danger. Vinyl chloride is nothing to ignore folks.
Hold your breath.
How frickin lovely
Cue the ever-nauseating ‘thoughts and prayers’ comments.🤢
Oh rest assured. Their god will be responsible for all positive actions. But nowhere to be seen in preventing such tragedies. The firefighters that didn’t die… god did that. The entire town didn’t blow up…. that’s gods hand….
Can you Smoke It ?? 🤪🌬
USA needs to spend more on infrastructure and jobs than it does on weapons and international terrorism. The American people should stand up to their government corruption.
Unfortunately this is East Palestine, Ohio So it’s under the control of Hamas this was most likely an Israeli drone strike
I love the grounded reality of this channel!! Despite the recession, I’m so happy withdrawing my $94k profits out of my investment with a platform in town
I had interest in investing in Forex/crypto but I was discouraged by friends and family, I was being ignorant though
@king Jerry no one gets 100% return on investments. It’s a PONZI scheme!!!!!
Hey guys thanks a lot , you just saved me from crypto loss by recommending such a successful and a legit broker in the United States.
ITS A SCAM PEOPLE DON’T FALL FOR IT.
Is this real you people are stupid, the likelihood of 5 people knowing the same investor on a yt comment is nil
.#zZz#.⚡⬇️⬆️💀☢☣ЭКСПЕРЕМЕНТ – УДАЛСЯ???!.💀💀💀⚡ХОРОШО ГОРИТ ДИЗАЙН???!.😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂⚫⚫⚫⚫💀💀💀⚡⚡⚡
Couldn’t happen to a better state.
This is a much more of a story than a balloon. Evacuating people in freezing Temps. Vinyl chloride clouds heading towards NYC and Boston.
good stuff
So thats why I keep getting eas alarms
The Airborne Toxic Event
Manufacturing and rail transportation are both tough businesses. The raill system brought prosperity in the past and now is in miserable shape.
Did the Vachina spy 🎈cause the derailment? Engineer looking at it instead of keeping 👀 ahead
Gota love them Ohio jokes, must be Pennsylvania trash, thank god I left Pennsylvania years ago
Only in America
@Hauzan Ghali Pasha Ohio is america Dumbo 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
It’s like that Netflix movie with Adam driver
Just like Frank Drebbin said,Nothing to see here folks.Its safe and there’s nothing to worry about..Those Chemicals are Deadly and the smoke is too.
Nobody…is there better ways?
Swag like Ohio
Fr get out of that area, don’t drink the water or trust these people, they know nothing
Wake up people they are lying to you if you do not believe just look to the PAST EVENTS,…………
TRAIN CREW = 2023 ??
We’re just a railroad crew
Racing down the track
Far from our families
Who will kiss us when we’re back.
We’re running by the river
She’s flowing muddy brown
Everywhere, someone
Hears our haunting sound.
As we glide across a silver bridge
Above the Mighty Mo.
What we’ll see when we look down
We never really know.
Behind us on those rolling wheels
Are cars of butane and coal
If we should jump the rail
Then God shall judge our soul.
When we reach the station
We’ll head for the hotel
Crawl in bed all by ourselves
And dream until the bell.

This remind anyone of super 8?
a lot of weird derailments lately don’t you think ?
How about putting it out with Water Planes
The pressure release valve starts unloading the chemicals as vapor, which lowers the level of liquid in the container as it boils away. The upper container wall is no longer cooled by the liquid chemical, and can heat to the point where it weakens and can eventually burst. For railroad tank cars, you want to be at least a kilometer away when this happens. The release valve roaring with a sound like a jet engine is a final warning that the container could explode at any time.
Drinking water is ok, I call bs there.
Ohio: This Train Derailment Fire EXPLOSION Me: wait what
As an ohioan, just another day in ohio.
Great. More cancer for our lungs to breath. 😖😒
So why are trains a technology almost 160 years old is still able to derail
Ofcourse this is in OHIO 💀
The guy that gave the hearing spoke about the chemicals making their way into the water. Exposure to vinyl chloride may increase a person’s risk of developing cancer. Being exposed to vinyl chloride can affect a person’s liver, kidney, lung, spleen, nervous system and blood.
Down in Ohio
People need to know the long term affect this stuff will have in their soil and water supply. We’ve seen documentaries on after affects of the soil and water being contaminated from spills and residue. I pray all will be well and that the powers that be truly look out for the best interests of the residents and communities that are and will be affected by this.
Did he just say they have no reading of toxic chemicals in the smoke? Why is he portraying the thick smoke as non toxic?
What is vinyl chloride used for anyway?
ONLY IN OHIO
“Zero readings of any health risks.”
