Media Blackout of Chernobyl 2.0 in Ohio
Legacy media continue a virtual media blackout of a chemical fire in eastern Ohio that could be causing massive damage.
On the morning of February 3, 2023, a train derailment occurred in the state of Ohio, leading to a chemical explosion that caused significant damage to the surrounding area. The incident took place near the town of East Palestine, located in the northwestern part of the state.
According to initial reports, the train was carrying a shipment of chemicals when it derailed, causing several cars to tip over and release their contents.
Government officials conducted a “controlled vent and burn” of the toxic chemicals at the train derailment, which went “as planned,” and “no concerning” air and water quality readings have been detected, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said Monday night.
Some are calling this a deliberate chemical warfare attack:
The explosion created a massive fireball that could be seen for miles and caused a shockwave that shattered windows and damaged buildings in the surrounding area.
Local authorities have reported that several people were injured in the incident and several homes and businesses were damaged. Emergency responders, including fire departments and hazmat teams, were quickly dispatched to the scene to contain the fire and address any potential environmental hazards. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has also launched an investigation into the cause of the derailment.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety of transporting hazardous materials by rail. Critics argue that the frequency of derailments and spills involving hazardous materials underscores the need for stricter regulations and increased safety measures. On the other hand, industry advocates argue that rail is a safe and efficient mode of transportation for hazardous materials, and that incidents like the one in Ohio are rare.
In the aftermath of the Ohio train derailment and chemical explosion, it is important for the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the incident and make any necessary changes to improve the safety of transporting hazardous materials. The affected community will also need support as they work to recover from the damage caused by the explosion.
