I'm surprised the local residents weren't made to clean it up.
Remember, when companies do these illegal acts it's a civil crime; however, when you do it, it's criminal. Double standards are fun kids
Birthing person, Buttgay still breastfeeding?
Your suppose to help people EPA, they don't have the training or the equipment to do it.
So what’s the point if the EPA if they don’t do anything about clean up, they just say “oh bad thing happened fix it”
A little bit late I don't think it will do much good as it would have if they took action as soon as it happened they let it spread by not taking actions faster and they should beheld accountable because it has far reaching effects for a long time to come
Why hasn't Greta Thunberg or AOC spoken out about this disaster? You'd think they would have been the first people….odd
US Government: ''Fox, clean up this chicken coop!''. 🙈🙉🙊
Just wait to see what happens when the west coast suffers dual 9.5 earthquakes. (spoiler: it's all over)
Railroad companies need to stop all transportation until the government assists and pour billions of dollars into the infrastructure of the rails.
Drinking the water theirselves. Obama speech in Flint MI, anyone? You think he drank that water? You think they really drank this? If they did, they sent the low guy on the totem pole there to drink it.
They going to pay for all the displacement, the January 2023 house value, and all future medical costs to all residents?
Your taxes will pay for it 🇺🇸
Get loud, Complain to everyone everywhere, don't except excuses.
Call government officials.
These Pennsylvania train derailment chemicals have combined with the rain clouds.
My comments are being removed from all different news outlets. The media is already being shut down. They want this to go away and they don't care about the people harmed.
The entire North Eastern United States will be having these chemicals rained down on them.
They need to show the chemical smoke and vapor plum of pollutants on a map.
This way there is a map of danger zones people know to be cautious of and in.
This kind of map should be easy and fast to produce by using weather data.
This is the kind of transparency that would be the most helpful.
And the sooner it's available for use by everyone the better.
5 years from now is un-expectible.
IT'S NEEDED NOW..
Don't except any lies it can't be done.
This will help point blame where it belongs.
It will also help possibly a million people from still getting harmed or getting harmed even more.
This is the 21st century.
Technology needs to be used now. Early while it's the most important.
THIS IS A MATTER THAT EFFECTS EVERY AMERICAN.
NEXT TIME THIS MAY BE IN YOUR BACK YARD, STATE OR TOWN.
DON'T LET BIG BUSINESS GET AWAY WITH THIS.
AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS AND NOT CORPORATIONS.
FIGHT NOW FOR THE TRUTH AND THE MAPS THAT WILL SHOW EXACTLY WHERE THE WORST PROBLEMS ARE.
EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN DESERVES THIS INFORMATION NOW.
Booty gig- it’s obvious, the wheels need more lube 😅
Like this will make any difference!! They will just declare chapter 7, 11, or 13 bankruptcy and avoid any liability and not pay a cent!
This would have never happened if Trump didn't reverse the Train Safety Regulation
which Obama proposed to do.
Lol
NO FEMA assistance?
Is it obvious yet that this was a planned event?
Waiting with patience for the USA to get nuked
Norfolk and Blackrock will never pay. It was purposeful. Oh! They own all msm also!
thanks usa, usa going to give more money to ukraine
Big Corp owns politicians.
Give East Palestine 50% of Norfolk Southerns Profit for the next 20 years. Therefore Companies like this will think twice before they pull stuff like this. They had enough excess money for stock buybacks and control a monopoly within the North East Corridor.
Another option is to just nationalize the railroads and force rail companies to pay money to use them. Fixes Amtrak as well and we could easily use imminent domain on them. We did for all the poor communities that now have highways going through them.
Paying people to die is insane
