Days ago, back on February 3, a train carrying dangerous material crashed in Ohio. Dramatic drone footage shows the scattered train cars, some burning.
East Palestine, Ohio, was the site of this fiery disaster. Chemicals got out into the local environment and more leakage was expected. So authorities took a bold step: they set the material on fire to keep it contained.
Gov. DeWine ordered evacuation of the area, calling it a matter of life and death. Crews released vinyl chloride into a trough and ignited it. But fears abound that the water and air may still be unsafe.
