I just finished watching the hearing over the train derailment in E. Palestine.
Norfolk Southern CEO Senate Q&A
It takes awhile to get the the good details but just listening to this I wonder why the CEO was not more prepared, or maybe that's the point. He has no idea where the contaminated soil and water is going, the board hasn't given him the authority to provide specific $ commitments to helping the people and the EPA is controlling everything. He'll just get back to them and we won't know the details. so much for transparency. Just wait until after this is out of the public eye and any real aid, such as covering the depreciation of their property, will be tied up in endless litigation. I mean the residents don't have the resources to take on the big lawyers from the railroad.
At the 1 hr 33 mark Senator Mullin brings up some really good points. The railcars that were destroyed were privately owned. I wonder who owns them? The owners were not consulted about what chemicals were being carried and what would be the best way of managing the situation. The EPA is in control?
Timeline of E. Palestine Train Derailment
I'm just trying to wrap my mind around this "It was not a high hazardous material train so the state was not notified." I can't imagine what then would be considered hazardous. Just look at the list of chemicals that the railcars were carrying.
I just noticed there were 11 cars that contained hazardous material...Loop posted the #11. Then we have a 5X5. 5 cars drained of vinyl chloride and 5 days after the derailment citizens were allowed to return home.
East Liverpool Hermitage Thermal Services is one site proposed by the EPA and their record is just dismal. And they wonder why people don't trust them.

What is trichloroethylene?
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a volatile, colorless liquid organic chemical. TCE does not occur naturally and is created by chemical synthesis. It is used primarily to make refrigerants and other hydrofluorocarbons and as a degreasing solvent for metal equipment. TCE is also used in some household products, such as cleaning wipes, aerosol cleaning products, tool cleaners, paint removers, spray adhesives, and carpet cleaners and spot removers. Commercial dry cleaners also use trichloroethylene as a spot remover.TCE
distributed energy resource (DER) is a small-scale unit of power generation that operates locally and is connected to a larger power grid at the distribution level. DERs include solar panels, small natural gas-fueled generators, electric vehicles and controllable loads, such as HVAC systems and electric water heaters. An important distinction of a DER is that the energy it produces is often consumed close to the source. distributed energy resource (DER) is a small-scale unit of power generation that operates locally and is connected to a larger power grid at the distribution level.

Cannibalism. Remember when J. Seinfeld joked about Jimmy Kimmel eating babies as a requirement to become famous? Guess who is the A-List chef who was hired to ensure it has a digestible taste at a certain restaurant in California that has a private diner room for Hollywood?
disturbing stuff
Is it possible that the programming of these kids to be anti-social asexual beast-children is something more sinister than the daily brainwashing of their daily lives. What if it's not just a mental state, but a bio-engineered "batch" of literal social warrior freaks?
