Train derailments and explosions and chemical spills

[JEEP]

We're likely at the stage where cancer rates are going to escalate due to vax - will this incident be blamed for some or most of it?

Stuff Travels Really Far: Heres How Chemicals Like Those Released From The Ohio Train Derailment Tend To Move

“There’s a mistake often that people make in their mind when they think, ‘This thing is only emitted here, I should only expect to see effects in a really tiny area around there.’ They’ll get greater concentrations near to the source, but stuff travels really far,” Hollingsworth commented. “It just makes it harder to detect the effect of any one event on health outcomes or even in a pollution reading, but it doesn’t mean that there’s no effect.”

Hollingsworth shared a model with The Daily Wire created with data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showing that the greatest low-altitude concentration of particles from the burn were forecasted to travel across southwestern Pennsylvania and the northern portion of West Virginia. High-altitude particles were forecasted to blow across New York, Vermont, Lake Ontario, and southeastern Canada.

Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) remarked during a Tuesday press conference that air tests conducted by members of the Ohio National Guard sent into the area of the derailment with protective gear purportedly showed that the air quality was “basically what it was prior to the actual train crash.” When asked about the validity of the assertion, Hollingsworth said that the claim could be correct, but noted that the behavior of the particles may be different elsewhere.

“It is totally possible that that claim is true and accurate, and that downwind farther away, concentrations have changed in a way that would be potentially damaging,” Hollingsworth continued. “It is possible that right by the source, air pollution levels as measured did not change very much, but because of the plume where the wind was blowing, there are changes in concentrations that are farther away.”

Hollingsworth said that he has observed increases in mortality linked to excess emission events through his research in Texas. Although one cannot definitively link a particular excess emission to a particular death, the cumulative impact of many smaller chemical releases has a demonstrable impact on public health.

“Events like this happen a lot in small numbers that are less salient,” Hollingsworth remarked. “They don’t have big plumes of smoke and a train derailment is not involved. It’s like, ‘Jim dropped a wrench, and then we had an off-gassing of a few hundred pounds of this chemical.’ They often go unreported, and it’s essentially impossible to link health effects of pollution. They are more common than people would think, and they are a threat to public health and safety.”

And what about the water and the rain? How far reaching is that going to be?

FEMA Heads To Ohio More Than Two Weeks After Disaster
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will deploy an assistance team to Ohio more than two weeks after the train derailment disaster.

Previously the Biden administration had stated that the disaster in East Palestine did not qualify for FEMA assistance. An official with the administration had told Fox News that “FEMA is on the frontlines when there is a hurricane or tornado. This situation is different.”

The administration had come under heavy criticism from residents and supporters across the country for not approving FEMA assistance to the area.

On Friday, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) and FEMA Regional Administrator Thomas Sivak released a statement saying that the FEMA and Ohio have been in “constant contact.”

Also on Sott - and really, how many Americans are thinking of the billions being sent to Ukraine . . .

UPDATE: Biden shamed into sending in FEMA ahead of Trump visit​

From the article, "Biden Shamed into sending in FEMA ahead of Trump":

"He added that Norfolk Southern Railroad, the operator of the derailed train, has been providing financial assistance to the community, but that the DeWine administration was prepared to hold the company's "feet to the fire" to ensure it continues to support the community. The Ohio attorney general's office was prepared to intervene if Norfolk Southern Railroad let up on its relief efforts."

Last report I read was that Norfolk Southern Railroad had given the town what amounted to as $5 per individual....read that yesterday or day before.

Major US City Closing Down Ohio River Intake After Train Derailment

The City of Cincinnati announced on Friday that it will shut down its Ohio River intake to prevent any possible contamination from the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment earlier this month.

The city, in a statement, said that it and the Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) are monitoring the Ohio River, one of the largest rivers in the United States, after the chemical spill in East Palestine. Earlier this week, an Ohio environmental official confirmed that a plume of chemicals was observed traveling down the Ohio River, and at the time, it was located near Huntington, West Virginia.

Mainstream Media says chemical cloud 'highly unlikely' to impact Canada.
I have a feeling the chemicals have already contaminated the Great Lakes, passed through Ontario and Quebec and are now having a pool party in the Atlantic ocean!

Thanks Jeep for all this information, good job. Such a nightmare, we'll see more of the impact in months to come.

The plot thickens....hmmm. This article also covers a somewhat mysterious clean-up thats occurring with huge dumpsters and clearing a creek with contents being removed at night. The workers wont tell the locals any details on what they're doing. Now Biden is sending healthcare workers in and the CDC.

East Palestine Rolled Out Digital ID Wearables Days Before Trainwreck​

“The products allow first responders to scan the QR code quickly in the event of an emergency thereby removing any time delays in accessing important health information related to the person in need of help, or in the event that a person cannot communicate,” the outlet added.​

Excerpts:
A video of a television segment accompanying the article showed that the wearables sold by MyID not only included a scannable QR code, but were also RFID tap-enabled.

“Orders will start in January,” WKBN27 stated, adding, “The Fire Department has already collected $5,000 in donations to help.”

In a second Jan. 26 article published by WKBN27, EPFD Chief Keith Drabick stated, “We’re not doing this to gain anybody’s information, to try and steal anybody’s information. We’re doing this to help the public in medical emergencies.”

WKBN stated that the devices were not only ready to go, but would be free for the first 250 customers, “People who are ready can sign up and pick their device. It’s free. The village has $5,000 in donations to cover the first phase of 250 devices.

Clean up: Pedro Gonzales is an independent reporter on the scene and is doing an excellent job

Further video showed extensive equipment operating in a local creek.

Gonzalez added that town residents appear to be in the dark about what exactly is being done by the cleanup crews, “…there are conflicting reports about everything on every level. Even locals are in the dark about what’s happening literally in their backyard and those in charge aren’t helping. It’s a huge communication problem.”

The journalist showed a video he obtained from a local resident showing cleanup crews transporting the dumpsters out of the city every night between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. “like clockwork.”

He added that the cleanup crews refused to talk to him, and that town residents he spoke with say that although the crew is polite, they won’t speak with the residents, either.

How about just him drink it!

Tell that to these people:

EXCLUSIVE: Toxic cloud left Ohio family coughing up blood and forced them to flee their newly purchased home as creek water turned blue and wildlife disappeared after chemical train disaster

The environmental and potentially lethal fallout from the Norfolk Southern rail company's 'chemical bomb' derailment attacked them on two levels.

Since then, they have been struck with agonizing sickness and coughing up blood, and now fear a cancer diagnosis in years to come due to two known carcinogenic chemicals from the fiery cloud of the crash.

The couple is facing an environmental catastrophe on their newly bought 15-acre property. Wildlife has fled and they now believe they might never bounce back .

As DailyMail.com walked with them through their woodland as they tested toxicity levels in the brook, chemical lab technician Kelly revealed: 'We had red and gray squirrels through this property, constantly chitter chattering to each other. It was pretty loud.

'And now there are none. They've gone completely because of the toxicity all around them right here.

'There's no small birds either. They were everywhere, but they've taken off. That must tell you something.'

The couple, who live outside the mandatory evacuation zone that was designated 'danger of death', were forced to leave their home nonetheless the weekend after the Friday derailment when they started feeling violently sick.

'Within 24 hours we had burning noses, burning lips, chest congestion, sore throats and headaches, big, big headaches,' said Kelly, 45.

'My German Shepherd dog Diesel kept throwing up and was lethargic.'

Kelly, who has been monitoring the creek's pH levels, said it recently reached an alarming 9.9 pH and revealed she felt a burning sensation after coming in contact with the water

Energy industry worker Nathan, 29, said: 'The thick cloud was billowing right over our house for the two days we stayed.

'The day after the derailment I started having symptoms, almost like Covid symptoms, like someone was pushing down on my chest. I had very strong pressure.

'Throughout the day it started getting severe. I had a very bad cough, very bad feeling in my lungs and throat. And the following day it got worse.

'I had burning on my lips, nose, and eyes and a severe cough.'

The couple quickly packed and fled to another property near the Pennsylvania-New York state line.

Nathan continued: 'I woke up about 6am after the night we evacuated and I was on the verge of calling the ER. I was coughing up blood.

'All I could think of was to strip down and cool myself off and go outside to get some relief. I was hot all over. I was very tired.

'It was until Thursday or Friday that week until I started to feel some relief. Coming back here now though my lips are starting to get tingly again and I feel a scratch in my throat and I'm getting headaches.'

Kelly added: 'We were at the doctor yesterday and they said they don't even have a toxicology test to be able to test us because they still don't know what they are dealing with.

'So they can't even test us – all they can do is treat symptoms. It's terrifying.'

The couple returned home with Kelly's son DJ, 19, on Saturday, February 11 – three days after Ohio Governor Mike DeWine declared residents in the evacuation zone could return.

That was following a burn-off of 'unstable' chemical cargo from five of the 11 derailed cars because experts feared an explosion, which sent another plume of toxic soup into the air and over their property.

As they surveyed their home, the couple immediately saw small dead fish bobbing in the narrow, twisting brook.

The water was bubbling violently from the bed, which Kelly said is a result of the toxicity. A blue film covered large areas of the surface and is still clearly visible.

And the water remains a danger, said Kelly.

'This past Sunday I was taking samples and one foot slipped into the water,' she added. 'I thought nothing of it.

'But that night I'm in bed and all of a sudden my foot starts burning. Then it dawned on me. Yeah, my foot slipped in the creek.

'If you went into that brook right now I would say you'll feel burning within an hour.'

Kelly added: 'We really don't know what's in the water – or in our personal household water. The other day my pH meter was 9.9, which is high. It's a little lower today.

'You have all these chemicals that reacted when they hit each other, then they reacted when they heated up and then they reacted again from the rain.

'So when it heats up it turns to chloride, when it rains it turns to an acid. There could be tens of thousands of compounds that this has turned into and you just don't know what you are dealing with.

'I would say it's going to be six months to a year before we see what happens next. And we're dealing with carcinogens from that train wreck, so you have the potential for cancers.

'And I think it's going to take a decade before everything washes through this place. In fact, it might never recover.'

As we continued to walk around the brook, Nathan said: 'We bought this place last May as a forever home. I wanted us to have some land.

'Now it is scary. Nothing is safe here, not my air, not my water. We are here alive and living but my fear is for our health. What happens when five or ten years down the road one of us gets cancer?

Nathan Izotic checks the PH levels in the creek. The family all claims to have suffered illness since the train wreck and their dog, who drinks from the creek on their property, began vomiting profusely the day after the crash

'This is less important that health, but no one is going to want to move here. Our property value is going to tank.'

Norfolk Southern's rail services restarted almost immediately after Ohio's governor gave the all-clear for residents to return.

In a jibe at the company, Nathan said: 'Certain things are going to recover. Norfolk South pushed to get the rail cars moving again, that's for certain. But as far as environmentally, no. It's going to be impossible to truly recover.'

The couple both attacked the railroad for the apparent early confusion about exactly what chemicals were contained in the 141-car train, apart from vinyl chloride which is associated with an increased risk of liver cancer.

Twenty cars contained hazardous materials and only in the past few days has a fuller list been revealed of all six toxic chemicals.

The cargo also included ethylhexyl acrylate, a known carcinogen that can cause burning an irritation of the eyes, and isobutylene which can cause dizziness and drowsiness.

Nathan, who has experience in the chemical industry, said: 'Every single rail car has safety data sheets, there is a paper trail a mile and a half long.

'I believe they knew what was on the train time of the derailment. But we were being told nothing.'

Describing the night of the crash, he said: 'I heard the train stopping. It was really loud and I went outside. Facing me was black smoke and orange flames that were starting to billow into a tower.

'Then the fire came and spread down the railroad tracks as cars ignited. It was like a 50ft high wall of flame coming my way. Scary? You bet it was.

'But thankfully the wind was blowing from the west towards the center of the wreck, so my house was safe. The plume of smoke was hundreds of feet high.'

Hugar evacuated but moved back on the Wednesday night of the all-clear. The tracks had been cleared of wreckage.

'Those trains began moving straight away,' he said. 'I'd say by 8pm and they've been running trains hard through here ever since.

'It's not the normal schedule – I'm very familiar with train movements. It's way above normal. They've got to get them through, so they can make money.'

Hugar also said no one from any agency had visited to check on his welfare.

Norfolk Southern on Thursday was blasted by Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, who claimed the company has been paying out more to executives and shareholders than investing in the rail infrastructure.

At the scene of the crash now, DailyMail.com witnessed the burned out cars strewn on either side of the track with convoys of trucks taking away material.

Here we go - an adjusted risk factor to vinyl chloride besides cancer:

CDC updated the toxicological profile of Vinyl Chloride in January 2023 to justify CARDIAC issues of the poisonous substance

The CDC just updated the toxilogical profile of Vinyl Chloride in january 2023… See the two versions (2006 and 2023) below…

Here’s a major change found by one of the reader of the newsletter!​

‘And now GO to page 71 of the old and page 42 of the new ‘safety’ profile:

in 2006, quote:​

‘At high concentrations (>30,000 ppm), vinyl chloride was been shown to sensitize the heart to epinephrine, resulting in cardiac arrhythmias in dogs (Clark and Tinston 1973).

No histopathological changes in the heart were noted in guinea pigs exposed o 400,000 ppm of vinyl chloride for 30 minutes (Mastromatteo et al. 1960).’

in 2023, quote:​

‘At high concentrations (>150,000 ppm), vinyl chloride was shown to sensitize the heart to epinephrine, resulting in cardiac arrhythmias in dogs (Carr et al. 1949).

My my - what a coincidence!

Followed by:

The strategies used by the US to distract public opinion seem increasingly stupid. Now, Washington is resorting to science fiction mechanisms, promoting the narrative of “UFO attacks”. The reasons seem quite simple: to prevent the media from paying attention to the recent chemical disasters in the country and at the same time generate concern among citizens about alleged “unknown threats”, which may enable the advancement of military agendas.

Mysterious Strange Smell Smell, Residue On Cars Hits Connecticut​

ByJason Hall
Feb 17, 2023

Numerous Connecticut residents said a mysterious strange smell and residue left on cars were present overnight, according to NBC Connecticut.
Several viewers contacted the news station claiming the air was filled with what was described as a chlorine-like odor and dust was left on cars Thursday (February 16) night and into Friday (February 17) morning. Some had speculated that chemicals released from a train derailment in Ohio earlier this month may have played a factor in the mysterious situation. NBC Connecticut Chief Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan said the residue may have been caused by a dust storm in the Plains that took place a few days prior and confirmed he personally smelled the odor in West Hartford Friday morning but doesn't have n explanation for it.

"The dust/residue on cars this morning has a pretty logical explanation and that's dust kicked up from a dust storm in the plains a few days ago," Hanrahan wrote on his Facebook page. "As for the chemical smell (chlorine-like?) this morning I don't have an explanation for that. I did smell it this morning here in West Hartford and it was pretty strong. It seems unlikely that it's from the train derailment and fire in Ohio last week, however, as it would have dispersed quite a bit in the last 10 days."
The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said it has been monitoring possible air quality impacts related to the derailment in Ohio, but said it hasn't seen any impacts in Connecticut in a statement obtained by NBC Connecticut on Friday. Additionally, the department said it hasn't determined what caused the residue on cars, but noted that it had originally forecast "good" air quality for Friday, but monitor readings during the day showed a moderate amount of a fine particulate was present in the air, warning that unusually sensitive people reduce prolonged exertion.

Fact Check:

The FBI has warned of white supremacists carrying out attacks on the U.S. power grid following multiple incidents in 2022 where substations in Oregon and Washington were targeted, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. The FBI also recently charged a neo-Nazi leader for supposedly planning to attack Baltimore’s power grid, according to Reuters.

The model uses wind current projections. Note how the NE-E-SE rotation.

Which makes some of the observations in this article sensible.

There Is Fire In Our Crowded Theater

250 million people live east of the Mississippi. Two million gallons of vinyl chloride might have something to say about that.

A digitized version of an article about the Seveso, Italy Chemical (dioxin) Explosion in 1976 from The New York Times’s print archive:

Excerpt (1976): The north Italian town of Seveso has been the scene of an ecological disaster that sounds the alarm about mankind's fatally laggard approach to the problems of chemical contamination. Seveso's troubles began early this summer when a chemical plant process went awry. Temperatures and pressures soared, and a valve released a white cloud of smoke.

That white cloud contained, among other compounds a chemical called dioxin, a highly toxic substance which, even in minute quantities, can produce deformations in human fetuses. No comparable release of dioxin Into the general environment had ever occurred, and it took a week before the deaths of animals and plants and the development of skin ailments in children led to full recognition of the disaster. Since then the population has been evacuated, and some pregnant women living in the area have had abortions

The magnitude of the problem posed by this dioxin contamination is indicated by plans now being drawn up to remove all vegetation and the earth itself to a depth of one foot from the directly affected areas and process them in special incinerators capable of producing ternperatures high enough to disintegrate this persistent chemical. Houses in the area nearest to the chemical plant are to be demolished, while structures left standing must be decontaminated.

Hoffman LaRoche, the Swiss pharmaceutical firm which owns the Seveso plant has pledged to pay for the material damage. But serious questions remain how one of the world's most sophisticated chemical enterprises could sanction a process that might result in the escape of so notorious a toxin.
