Norfolk Southern's derailment is creating deadly longterm health impacts that are being ignored by President Biden, the EPA, and the media. The people pay the price.
On Frida, Feb. 17 it rained and showered upon the Town of Salisbury Mills, NY a sickeningly sweet thick stench which permeated everything. We are parallel to the derailment on the western wind. The smell was clearly chemical - my car reeked after several washings, our shoes were coated in the putrid smell. The taste was in our throats, my dog was terribly ill for three days. We are 650 miles away from Palestine - the rain brought it down. Serious and terrifying. DEC downplaying it blaming it on truck ‘spill’ - no truck spill here. There is no mistaking that thick sweet overwhelming smell. Still lingers.
Thank you for keeping this story in the public eye, Steven. It's getting zero attention in the mainstream media, and our governor and state EPA seem to be out to lunch. Ohio has become the state formerly known for its waters. I'm afraid we'll only be known for our toxic wastes and hurting people.
How about a Rico lawsuit..?.. if only the government would do their damn job.
I sure hope I’m not downwind of it but everybody who has been exposed needs to get in on the class action lawsuit that I hope is starting up. Although the class action lawsuits do a lot more for the lawyers than they do for the plaintiffs, they gotta start somewhere. I would rather the lawyers have the money than the railroad. People deserve to be compensated and be able to move away from the area. They need to fence off the whole area as a toxic waste clean up site. At the expense of the railroad not the taxpayer. There was a wood treating plant up near me and when they finally got shut down because everything was so polluted they just merely moved across the river from Washington into Oregon and set up business there. They abandoned their whole entire toxic waste site, they just walked away. That’s not OK.
