“The face was covered with a rash”: in Ohio they talked about the consequences of the disaster

In America, trains full of chemicals are overturning one after the other, but the US authorities seem to be unaware of this. At the same time, residents of the entire state of Ohio have already suffered from an environmental disaster. About hushing up a real disaster – in the plot REN TV.

Environmental disaster in Ohio

Body spots and dizziness are just some of the complaints that residents of an East Palestine village in Ohio come to the doctor after a train accident.

“My head hurts, my body was covered with a rash and my face too. It was when I was next to the stream where that waste got into.” – said a local resident.

Tankers with chemicals derailed a month ago. Then poisonous substances got into the stream, and the US authorities seemed to have not noticed anything all this time. The transport minister commented on the accident only on the tenth day. He stated that the employees of the company that owns the composition are working to eliminate the consequences.

True, local residents did not see any work and accused the authorities of hushing up the largest environmental disaster.

– It took us several weeks to determine exactly where the source of this pollution is, says Norfolk Southern Corporation spokesman Darrell Wilson.

– Yes, it’s dirty everywhere! Everywhere! – he is interrupted by the cries of indignant Americans.

– We’re going to clean everything up.

– No, you’re not going! And this is where you should have started!

Ridiculous excuses of the American authorities

Freight trains in the States, one after another, go downhill. This is already a new, third accident in recent times. And again Ohio – again the same company. This time, the government decided not to delay the reaction for a long time. The cause of the disaster was called too long train.

“For those who didn’t know, there were 212 cars, plus locomotives. So it’s a two and a half mile long train, very long,” says Jennifer Homendy, chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board.

The press conference of the head of the National Council for Transport Security did not go well from the very beginning. When the official found it difficult to answer, the presenter moved on to the next question.

– What do you say to Americans who are concerned? Is our rail system safe? the journalist asks.

– This is a great question. I understand all doubts. But look, the safest transport is airplanes. But dangerous substances cannot be transported by them, Homendy says.

Train accidents in Ohio are already a trend

On the Internet, this press conference, following other statements on the topic of railway accidents, has already replenished the treasury of the so-called memes. Officials are doing their best to avoid answering uncomfortable questions. Like US President Joe Biden, who, despite the resonance and all the prerequisites for an environmental disaster, never visited Ohio.

– Mr. President, would you like to visit Ohio? You discussed everything with the management of the railway company, do people need any help?

– I’ve talked to every official in Ohio, Democrats and Republicans on a full-time basis, as well as in Pennsylvania. Together we will solve a lot of problems legally.

All that has been done after the first disaster is the payment of small compensations for the inconvenience during the evacuation. And even a month later, local residents are in no hurry to return home, looking at environmentalists with their forecasts and neighbors with constant complaints about their health. And also to train accidents, which have already become a trend in the state.
