  1. Where is Trump now? He’s actually done NOTHING.

  2. Something about this whole thing is off, could it be a land grab? Pollute the land & water, whip everyone up into a frenzy, everyone moves, & buy the land cheap.

  3. The incident was the result of only one of more than 1000 train derailments every year. Over 2.5 a day.
    This is a serious and common problem facing communities across the United States.
    How much confidence do you have that you are being told the truth?
    What is the history of truthfulness from those providing explanations?
    Are you confident you are being told the truth?
    Do you deserve to be informed correctly?

  4. ohio has toxic spill sights, has the most hazardous sites in the country.
    ohio is the dump of USA.

  5. should change the name of the city.

  6. So the mayor needs to ask for the assistance of all the railroaders families brakeman engineers conductors and I like in a way you could say you would be forcing their hand because they need somebody to run the trains they need somebody to make sure when they come in that the trains are tied up and you can’t make a bid for a run if there’s nobody there to make the run

  7. Ohhhhh so thats why Biden hasnt showed up…LOVELY….Now let me here some woke crazy Libtard tell me how Trump was the bad man in this….? 🤔

  8. Interesting that you have turned off all of the comments on the governor interviews. Thinks that make you go hum!

  9. mayor, you are leader ! if you can't do it resign.

  10. The President did show up" Donald Trump".

  11. "you think I can fight a railroad or fight against the EPA"….heck I can't even guard against my appetite and calorie intake ~ East Palestine Mayor

  12. Has anyone tried to see if the water is flammable?

  13. This article is a good example that good maintenance is very low on the priority list of Americans of all political stripes.

  14. The 'manipulation' really jumps out at u……🤣

  15. People often criticize over the mistakes did in the past but what about those people who suffered a lot till 40 years of age irrespective of being good and doing good to all.

    Any type of violence / harrasment done by anybody can't be justified especially if you are doing it to somebody who is good.

    You can never say that this person is good and that is bad because Every coin has two sides.

    No Respect for people who use others for getting their things done and raise their hands in the air when it's time to give back.

  16. Wow wow wow wow Palestinian Family First okay Happy Democracy Family TNX GOOD

  17. The fire chief is a piece of work. He and the Governor made the decision to set the train on fire and burn the vinyl chloride. A byproduct of the fire was phosgene – a banned WW I chemical warfare agent that causes lung damage at 5 ppm….The fire chief and governor should be arrested for crimes against humanity.

  18. a little concerning that the president will not even visit the sight or town its self

  19. If this was a black neighborhood it would have been cleaned up by now along with 24/7 news coverage. Since it's a white community and that area mostly voted for Trump there's no hurry apparently.

  20. this is the same town (and mayor) that assaulted and arrested a reporter who was covering the story – that tells us all we need to know about the local views about transparency and accountability

  21. Obama sold out and cut regulations for the railroad. Jimmy Dore has the documents on his show
