East Palestine, Ohio Is Dead!

Train derailment has Ohio and Pennsylvania residents demanding answers.

A major train accident in a town near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border has gotten the attention of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Mike DeWine, Gov. Josh Shapiro, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH), Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA).

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) does not take his job as a senator seriously. It would be no surprise he would even address the controversy. He too busy stunting his firearms to shoot a foreign object from 75,000 feet.

The town of East Palestine may soon be declared unlivable if they can't solve the problems facing that train wreck and contamination.

NewsNation correspondent Evan Lambert was arrested for trespassing on Wednesday in East Palestine while attending DeWine's press conference about the train derailment. In a statement, East Palestine police said they asked Lambert to stop his live report because he was being "loud," which resulted in an argument. Police said they arrested Lambert after he refused to leave the area.

DeWine condemned the arrest and apologized to Lambert.

The broadcast reporter was held in custody for about five hours before he was released, NewsNation reported.

DeWine said at the end of the press conference that he did not authorize the arrest. East Palestine police officers and officers with two state agencies were involved, according to the police department's release.

Lambert, who is based in Washington, D.C., could still face charges of disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing, NewsNation said.

A Norfolk Southern train derailed in the town and it has lead to a major health and safety crisis for those living within a 100 mile spread.

The train was composed of 141 loaded cars, nine empty cars, and three locomotives, and was carrying hazardous chemicals, including vinyl chloride, from the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis yard in Madison, Illinois to Norfolk Southern's Conway Yard in Conway, Pennsylvania.

The burn released phosgene and hydrogen chloride into the air. Officials said that the air quality readings were not showing anything concerning. Residents in nearby Mahoning and Trumbull counties reported a chemical smell in their areas, and officials in the Youngstown region advised residents to stay indoors.

It has killed wildlife from fishes, amphibians, inscets, small reptiles, foxes, wild birds and several domestic animals.

The smoke cloud was seen from space and can be seen from Niles, Ohio to Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.

Those living in Youngstown, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Steubenville, Wheeling, Akron, Canton, Erie and even Buffalo should be on high alert.

They say the drinking water is safe. But why are there dead animals in the water?
