Warnings ahead. This is awful.

Footage on the ground from East Palestine, Ohio (February 10, 2023) following the controlled burn of the extremely hazardous chemical Vinyl Chloride that spilled during a train derailment

#derailment
Our water is contaminated.

We don’t yet know the implications OR HOW VAST the chemical spread is. We only know as much as the EPA, Ohio’s Governing Agencies & Norfolk choose to release - as it is becoming increasingly evident there is a problem far more severe than they want to admit.
Contamination has killed schools of fish in the nearby waters within a ten mile radius, so you can only imagine the ecological detriment this has caused.

Those waters flow into the Ohio River…
AND those waters flow into the Mississippi River…
… see where I’m going here?
Keep in mind, residents were able to return to their homes within a week of the controlled release of vinyl chloride into the atmosphere - all the while, according to the environmental engineer associated with the detonation, the major impact will be felt for years to come as the chemical gets into the ground water

Let me give you that last line again,
“the major impact will be felt for years to come as the chemical gets into the ground water and dissipates to near by wells used for drinking water.”
- Kurt Rhodes (in case you’re wondering)
It is also yet to be known what the byproduct of the total list of chemicals will be when they ultimately combine in contaminated areas. This is being discussed by chemists currently.

Ohio: Dead fish and cattle being reported as far as 100 miles away from the site.

Journalists covering the story have been arrested.

What the HELL is going on?

Vinyl chloride is not only flammable, but it's also a brain, lung, blood, and liver carcinogen. Authorities decided to burn hundreds of thousands of gallons of this chemical after a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.

But it’s gotten almost no national news coverage…

The East Palestine railway disaster has spilled several highly toxic chemicals into the Ohio River which connects directly to the Mississippi. Wildlife in waterways over 2 miles from the spill have died. Construction crews simply covered some parts of the spill without completely cleaning the chemicals, which estimates to have penetrated as deep as 150ft in the ground.

The following chemicals have been spilled into the Ohio river and are flowing southward:

1. Vinyl Chloride
2. Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl
3. Ethylhexyl Acrylate
4. Isobutylene
5. Butyl Acrylates
