  1. This is a major environmental disaster why is this not getting more news and where is mayor Pete and his hazmat suit

  2. that is so danger ⚠️ . Hope state will do something for help .

  3. Imagine still believing anything the federal government tells you.

  4. Water is fine nothing is wrong… reminds me of Flint where the knew about it and still denied everything.

  5. I'm an international student studying at the OSU. I didn't hear about it until my mom asked me. What I know are all about the balloon 😂 since Feb.6

  6. The mainstream media wants you to watch Chinese balloons. . Look at what the mainstream media was doing when this happened! It's hard to imagine that many Americans haven't known about this for so long. . .

  7. What to test for 🤦🏾‍♂️death by breathing and drinking 🚰

  8. the water is safe, just like the vaccine

  9. Safe? Do you believe it? What a sad accident & what a fake human rights😶‍🌫️

  10. This is such a shame. Corporations are destroying our water. Everything ends if we poison the waters…

  11. no one cares

    the Chinese Weather Balloon is more important than this!

  12. This thing is going to poison all of the Ohio river basin. Biden admin did this because he deemed the RAILROAD STRIKERS TO BE ILLEGAL FOR TRYING TO HAVE SICK DAYS

  13. Move!!
    Leave!!!
    Y'all are being experimented on!!

  14. Burning was an idiotic idea

  15. Same standard should be applied.
    JOE BIDEN. If it happened on his watch ? It's his fault .
    Add the Nord stream explosion and that makes Joe Biden the biggest environmental TETRORIST in HUMAN HISTORY……….

  16. People are going to jail for this.

  17. I would be doing my own research and giving the water testing company a list of chemicals to begin. They will have to get on going water tests. People are more concerned with carbon immiscions than their drinking
    Water.
    Carbon tax but no clean up of a chemical spill???
    Water is life. Maybe people need things like this to happen so they wake up to what is really happening and change their habits as well. What kind of cleaning products are people using in their homes- chemicals?

  18. Feel terrible for the people in the area. I'm an avid fisherman, and this makes me sick. Our administration pretends like they care about the environment only when it comes time to win votes. Where are all the climate change people protesting? where's the outrage? Where's the 24/7 media coverage of this disaster? I live in Pittsburgh and they just issued a boil water advisory a few days ago, saying that a "pump" broke. The timing is definitely questionable with this happening less than 100 miles away. Praying for the people and our natural resources.

  19. That's why they want you to look at balloons, not at train wrecks.

  20. It happened 10 days ago?

  21. UFO's & Balloons distractions to forget about this Chernobyl Disaster in Ohio wake up people !!!

  22. I hope the local people are safe🙏

  23. Now they want to act like they care people get out

  24. Don`t you just love it when there are dead fish in the stream and the EPA says , oh there is nothing to worry about, its safe. What is going on. Why are they lying?

  25. Keep testing? Lady it’s time to move!!

  26. Well i sure hope we don't find any new apocalypse because of this and i hope the best of luck for all the people living there

  27. Trust us. The government never lies. Truly a sad situation that I doubt greedy corporations will pay for. I hope everyone now sees why the Railroad union wanted to push for better safety requirements.

  28. Transportation disaster under Pete Buttigieg, border disaster under Kamala Harris, foreign policy disaster under Anthony Blinken……the list goes on…. It's the only unifying theme

  29. Isn't it a "coincidence" that the movie "White Noise" predicted this right down to the town it happened in? Is that Dewine's idea of disclosure? Was it predictive programming for something planned?

  30. Tragedy as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the United States…

  31. Stupidity from the government.

  32. You'd think the Biden administration would be all over this to show US citizens that they're "for the people" but there's nothing. There's been reports that not even FEMA or red cross has done anything yet. Something isn't right

  33. A minute long video about what could be the death of hundreds of thousands of people but there's balloons and UFOs so don't worry too much

  34. Don't worry I'm sure Obama will come by and take a small sip of your water and leave

  35. $100 billion to Ukraine, not a pip from the Biden admin on the Ohio derailment.

  36. Install some good water purification systems using all methods of water purification like UVC lights for biological decontamination, reverse osmosis, filtration using activated carbon filters and 0.5 micron filters and then distill it 2 times low heat and high heat make sure to pretreat it with chlorine before it enters first stage of purification. If you know what chemical compounds are in the water then get the evaporation temperatures of each chemical compound by googling it. Water purification is really basic chemistry

  37. 俄亥俄的人最好能离开家园一段时间,能让氯乙烯浓度降低一点,不然在你得癌症之前可能先死于其他疾病

  38. More people will get cancer

  39. bet yall my years salary that the American government will still send aid overseas instead of sending it to ohio

  40. Why YouTube is removing all videos about this accident

  41. Lot's of overpaid railroad dudes getting divorced soon…

  42. Thanks for showing what water looks like.

  43. Apparently, we are supposed to be watching our carbon footprint. That's probably why the air we breath and the water we drink is "so unimportant". The company should come through all the down wind areas to test the air, soil and water at least 3 times. No homeowner should be trying to get through to the lab, this should be done by those responsible. However, the more I think of it, I'm not sure I would trust what the owners' test results were. This stinks.

  44. Was reading a post about someone who drove 70 miles east of here in the rain. His car was covered in a chemical residue.

    The fact the train company lied about what it was transporting. Epa found additional chemicals not reported.

    They burned it not because it was an explosion risk but because that was the fastest way to reopen the tracks to be used.

    Gotta love our corporate run government.

  45. “What to test for “ TESST FOR EVERYTHING OMG
