I would leave Ohio…
Need more Regulations to be removed from industries and huge corporations!
From Land, Air and Sea we've witnessed Ohio destroying our environment and our safety.
Republicans keep removing Regulations so that at some point they'll understand their Donors are killing their Voters by pushing their Votes on Bills.
Nothing to fear people of Kentucky, y'all got that one fine repugnant randy paul as your secret weapon against civilization as we know it today!!
How competent is a deregulated EPA and inspection apparatus…. its not.. its like a deregulated FCC.. useless waste of taxpayer dollars and should be folded into fema.. as far as the EPA goes.. right wingers say "deregulate" but their goal is usually to strip the regulatory of powers to assist their rich interests..
Prayers they get this cleaned up before a tragic event
If that ish blows up …WOW 😮
Cause it can't get any worse
Anyone else feel like all the issues with chemicals is an inside job or something. There have been 14 derailments in or near Ohio alone in the past 68 days. Now this? Mistake after mistake just doesn’t make sense anymore.
Dont trust the officials they are all getting paid by big corporations. Boil your water.
The people who run this company should be a paid a lot of money, but that high reward should come with equally high risk- meaning jail time and financial ruin if they enable failures like this.
Just fing great ………smh
Just wait until night when the water falls asleep then go get it
Is anyone in charge of transportation in this country? Infrastructure as well needs help. Our leaders are Mia but there to take the taxes.
holy cow, yet another water issue… why transport dangerous chemicals on the water where there is no legitimate, 100% chance of containment when there is a spill?
Yet only 19 Republican Senators (13 House Republicans) voted for the Infrastructure Bill, good thing it passed anyway without them. We spend all this money on other crap, but never on fixing our bridges, roads, railways, etc. It always amazes me that Republicans always want to focus on deregulation which impacts our safety and our local economy. I bet if it impacted their personal wallet, they wouldn't.
Why would you tell us literally nothing. So lazy.
Another attack on Ohio
All this is organized by the government and these companies to ruin our water supply so you have to drink their recycled poop water
The end isn’t “coming”, we’re bringing it 🤦♂️
Walter White must be stopped
Seems like our water sources are vulnerable to potential contamination lately.
Trump deregulated barges. This is the result.
Should have shipped those chemicals by rail. 😅
“Everyone please step back, I’ve got this….I’ll just set it on fire”.
Pete Buttigieg
If you pay the bureaucrats enough they'll turn an eye to anything.
Is Ohio on the hate sheet 🤔 wth is happening there 😳
RIP OHIO!
Oop's nothing to see here,it's water under the bridge 👉👌
As Usual NO NEWS
JUST PICTURES!
Should be a crime to let The FAKE NEWS EVEN ON THE AIR
Luckily it's only natural gas? Hopefully? It'll just dissipate into the air? But guess what it's all planned? Do you know what happened in Rwanda in the year 94 to genocide? Everybody had holes in their head they all had mad cow disease but luckily the UN was there to make sure that everything went as planned? The vaccination work? It does exactly what they thought it might do? Everybody HACKED each other to death… with machetes..? guess what's going to happen this country?
.. what are you going to do if you got holes in your heads ..?and you have a lot of weapons? You probably don't know …I don't know either ..?good luck friends
Rwanda has a genocide Museum that they built? To remember what happened please do your research and look into it you'll see that we're really in trouble
Oh Ohio 😢
How did they get stuck? Wasn’t there a captain navigating the barge?
biden
lmao it's like it's on purpose and they ran out of ideas
These chemical spills are not by accident
Burn it in place like in Ohio.
And the Indians named it o-hi-o , which means beautiful River…. the pictures speak volumes that the white man has not learned to live in harmony with the Earth….
Now how did this happen someone forget to tie things off ya right it’s all deliberate
wtf goin on in Ohio bro
America has to be the richest third world country in the world
