  1. I wonder if those plastics were color coded, but I doubt that had anything to do with it. How about we just give the number 1 to the thousands that were displaced? I wonder if in their last lifetime they were a number 0. I doubt it f matters but I bet all of them were blamed for it anyway. I swear idiots make no numbers.

  2. Can we blame this on Norfolk Southern?

  3. Is it possible to use an air tanker to put it out? Or since it’s plastic would it simply not work?

  4. I'm 35 mins away and could see the smoke from here

  5. Deregulation in action… Anytime republicans are able to lower federal standards these things happen.. oil spills etc fuggitaboutit..

  6. Germany had a factory on fire with unknown danger of gas as well few days ago. Now the US.

  7. Конец)! За Мехмана ответит. Корень этой нации вырезан.

  8. Biden is not interested in this. He is busy with ukraine

  9. Never ever allow one of these things to be built in your area. If they're there already, get them closed. Recycling plastic isn't worth the risk.

  10. Fall of us dollar end of America.

  11. Blak smoke is non toxic like blak lives M

  12. Didn't management of this company learn anything in boy scouts? You don't throw rubber boots into the campfire. It's basic.

  13. "The fire is feeding on unknown types of plastics." Well, that's a relief. At least the fire may be feeding on healthy plastics and not the unhealthy types.

  14. I live in this town and honestly this was not taken care of properly. And our Mayor is terrible.

  15. The FBI along with all police agencies should sit down, including the Army, the Pentagon, to try to prevent these daily sabotages across America! Only a fool will say that these are incidents! These are terrorist sabotages in the whole country! Trains jump off the tracks, factories burn, forests burn, worse than in the war in Ukraine!

  16. Do not pray for these people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen. –Jeremiah 11:14

  17. Such beautiful destruction. Again I hate Indiana. 👁️

  18. My mother when scold

    Lazy – chores – _____ – Lazy

    Work

    Lazy – Lazy – _______– Lazy

    It's ok to become more lazy, eat more and sleep more so you can have energy to move.

  19. That definitely is a threat for atmosphere, environmental safety. Will EPA give that area a quick evaluation of air/water quality on the daily basis. So the citizens will know when is likely to be safe.

  20. We need electric cars?
    That fire pollution is horrible

  21. Here goes another one! Hmm?
