Disturbing video shows what appears to be a contaminated creek in East Palestine, Ohio, after the recent derailment of a train there carrying toxic materials.
“Even MORE proof that the EPA is LYING to the people of East Palestine,” journalist Nick Sortor wrote on Twitter alongside footage he posted of a woman tossing a small log into the water, causing an oily sheen to rise to the surface.
The widely shared clip — which has garnered about 9.4 million views as of Friday morning — comes as EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited the area Thursday to reassure residents that the water is safe for drinking and that the air is suitable to breathe.
“I’m asking they trust the government,” Regan said of local residents. “I know that’s hard. We know there’s a lack of trust. We’re testing for everything that was on that train.”
The Norfolk Southern freight train — which involved about 150 cars, including 20 that contained hazardous materials — derailed near the small Ohio town of about 5,000 people on Feb. 3.
Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement Wednesday that “new water testing results have been returned to the Ohio EPA.
“These results show no detection of contaminants in raw water from the five wells that feed into East Palestine’s municipal water system,” the governor claimed.
We have money for Ukraine, Turkey, Illegals, refugees, criminals, drug addicts, abortions, all kind of BS programs but none for regular hard working Americans. especially if those Americans happen to be White.
Many of the contaminants are heavier than water, so they sink to the bottom and concentrate there, slowly leaching into the aquifer and flowing water, affecting every living organism it touches, from beneficial bacteria to the birds and mammals who eat the fish and aquatic invertebrates. Bad stuff.
After the derailment explosion & fire one would expect a danger to the citizens, wildlife, and the eco system around there it can’t be safe. The way they have handled it is like putting lipstick on a pig—-it doesn’t fly!!!!!
The train didn’t explode on its own. It derailed, then local authorities and cops decided the easiest way to dispose of the harmful chemicals was a “controlled” explosion. It’s just more braindead cop logic.
Of course not…. The wells are drawing water from humdreds of feet underground. It will take a long time for the contaminants to seep down that far, but seep they will. The shallow home wells will be the first to show contaminants. Just another attempted cover-up.!
EPA IS ONLY TESTING WELLS!!!?
There hasn’t been enough time for that poison to reach the wells and every day it sits in the river is another day closer to too late… if we aren’t already there.
EPA knows this full well so they are INTENTIONALLY not finding these chemicals.
Do they plan on testing Mississippi and Ohio river seafood this spring?
It’s just like when BP took over the gulf and was told “Don’t spray more dispersants” and they did it anyway to cover the extent of their crime and our Alphabet soup of bureaucracy just went lock step as always.
They don’t care about you.
They don’t care about your children.
They don’t care about your food or water.
They want you sick, they want you broke and they want you stupid.
They want to prop you up just enough to show up to a job, contribute to their system and then rape you for taxes that they hand to their friends and your enemies. They don’t even care who you vote for because the parties are an illusion.
And meanwhile the 99% who are economically enslaved or about to be are just sitting around waiting for Jesus to come back.
exactly
Why do you want the government involved in a train wreck? They are a train wreck by them selves.
They should not have any say in this issue , the train owners should be the ones to make good any and all
problems from the wreck .When will you guys get it ? NO MORE BIG GOVERNMENT . Our government can’t make any truthful decisions’
