Thanks Trump Crime Family

It’s no different than the gun laws. 71 mass shootings in the U.S.A. So far. 1 train derails because of deregulation and effects millions..

Seeing Mitch on that list is a good reminder that, even if he did well for awhile and helped some people out, he’s still a piece of shit.

train in ohio derailed with incredibly hazardous chemicals, surrounded by amazingly unethical situations, and now everyone is royally fucked
DukePhelan
A small town in Ohio was hit with an 'industrial accident' which effectively released a chemical weapon upon a town of 5k.
SomeDetroitGuy
This shit is hitting a LOT more of New York than it does Ohio. It's also hitting a LOT of Montreal, Ontario, and Pennsylvania.

Montreal is a huge port from rail to sea and also home to the CN railroad company headquarters. Any shit happens to trains, they get blamed.

Phloyd is likely quoting WTYP (a podcast) which is in turn, quoting the corrupt Italian government's description of the Vajont dam disaster.

Wow, those are somewhat obscure references

That's the beauty of FP, once you get there if doesn't matter how esoteric your reference is, someone will get it.

#2 in a year from now, so if these people will be richer than now. And they should be in jail instead.

You know that won't happen. None of these ppl will ever be prosecuted or see a courtroom for this gross negligence. Too goddamned rich!

If only there was some sort of "regulation" that "inspected" the brakes on hazardous container cars more frequently than 6 years ago.
manulofdoom
"REEE! Woke! De Gubberment! COMMUNISM!!1"
NotMyUsualOnlineName
There was, but the regulation didn't matter. The train didn't qualify as a "high hazard flammable" one under it, and wouldn't have been
bripi
That's some regulatory horseshit. Everything on that train was a flammable hazard and the EP people are living in a biological hell.
MikeKeyser
that stuff isn't hazardous in the same way that a tomato is a vegetable and honey is a solid (sold by weight, not volume, unlike molasses)

required to have the ECP brakes. And we know how corporations are, if a safety feature isn't required by law, fuck it.
SexuallyAwkwardDonkey
Woah wait, I'm a train engineer in the UK, we do a full brake test every ~20,000 miles. You don't do this in the US?
Renza0
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Test.. brakes... ohhhh yeah, that thing you do when you actually prioritize safety over profits. Yeah, no. Kidding aside, I'm sure there are
NotMyUsualOnlineName
safety tests and all, this one just wasn't equipped with the better brakes, and wouldn't have been required to under the regulation Trump
SexuallyAwkwardDonkey
I should add, that's a brake test roughly every 2 months. Can't over maintain safety.

Is anyone else afraid of any food being grown there? Cows, grain etc being tainted?
APassingPlasticBag
cepacolusmaximus
all the fish in all the rivers downstream of there, too. don't eat the catfish for a few years, folks
AbhainnFuil
I’m afraid of any food made or grown in America, farm regulations and standards are poor and products seems designed to kill you slowly.

Horrified of taints from Ohio personally

It contaminated the Ohio river which crosses 14 states and is drinking water for 500mil ppl. Also has been leached into the ground water.
SavageDrums
500M? Did you accidentally a 0?
carrot1sie
I accidentally 2 0-ed, my bad. Wish you could edit comments
LittleLebowskiUrbanAchievers
Absolutely.
Twrecks123
Like, I feel that there should be a mass disposal of all the food plants and animals in the affected area.
croftcreates
You think they should dispose of all the animals that could be used for food?
bripi
well, if they ARE CONTAMINATED WITH DEADLY CHEMICALS YEAH YOU SHITHEAD
tallyhoho
I think egg cartons have a code on them for where the eggs come from if that helps
macgerdo
Just put these eggs into other food and its okay. We also produce pesticides that aren't allowed to use here. But no problem, we sell them
macgerdo
to other countries and just buy the produced food there. Problem solved
CharlieandOliver
The half off Ohio eggs are gonna have me questioning my priorities
Twrecks123
I have my own chickens. I’m more worried about fruits,beans, veggies, grains pork etc.
macgerdo
People forget how much egg is in their other food. I don't think there is a label like "the eggs used come from Ohio" or something
Twrecks123
Ah, for me, I have some very limiting allergies and dietary restrictions so I make everything from scratch. But yes, this is an issue too.
Strategicgnomer
Ok so, anything to do with "chemicals"seems very scary. And this one in particular, because it's a carcinogen makes it worse. However,
Strategicgnomer
It's very ready to burn or explode, which it did, and by doing so turns into another scary sounding thing, toxic hydrogen chloride. However,
Strategicgnomer
Hydrogen chloride reacts with water and turns into hydrochloric acid. Which, while it sounds scary, it may also sound familiar. That's
Strategicgnomer
Because it's in your stomach. The other byproduct of buying vinyl chloride is carbon monoxide. Also toxic, but it will disperse fairly rapid
Strategicgnomer
After the burning stops. Flash point of vinyl chloride is -78c so it's unlikely to linger in it's carcinogenic form. Now, getting acid in

"They test for a long list of volatile organic compounds — all of which have come back below detectible limits."
Acquisitor
I guess all the chickens that died in about a 1 mile radius and all the dead fish and frogs in the river didn't get that memo.
poochyena
you can find dead fish and frogs in a 1,000 mile radius too. Doesn't really mean much to find a dead animal since, you know, animals die.
highlikeacrow
You are either stupid or willfully ignorant. Go ahead and start drinking the water...we'll all wait for you. Dumbass
Corrodias
Great... now how about the involatile compounds, the ones that we're really worried about because they last approximately forever?
SavageDrums
The eggs from the chickens that survived are already showing signs of fuckery
MikeKeyser
don't forget everything that precipitates into the water

I’m more concerned with what wine pairs well with Shaw steak? It’s supposed to taste like pork so i’m thinking Chardonnay.
AriBoBari
Took me a second
DimmestLemming
Can someone translate this to an outsider?
Acoreus
I think shaw steak and long pork are the same thing.
FatherNeal
Shaw is the surname of the CEO. This man wants to eat the rich, but with some panache. Maybe pair it with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
JabesMcJabesface
Do not worry, it will not affect the profit of grocery stores except as an excuse to raise prices. Oh, you mean the well-being of people?-

Yeah, could be bad
CelestialSea
I am glad I'm on the West Coast, but just to be sure I am avoiding all American food products for the foreseeable future.
chubbls
Locally procured foods should be fine... If not you have bigger problems than what's going on in ohio.
CelestialSea
'cause there's no fucking way the big Ag companies are going to just throw all those crops and animals away. They'll go in the food chain.
ThaEnder
Ag companies regularly destroy and throw away tremendous amounts of food.
CelestialSea
True, not because it's literal poison though, they throw it away because of their own mismanagement and inefficiency.
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Artificial scarcity keeps prices high.
jrabbitmusic
Yes & no. Yes, I should be. No, because everything is on fire all the time always and we all eat a credit card’s worth of plastic every week
ShrokNil
Way to take one event and project it across a whole state like a dumbass. Colorado is on fire way more yet somehow Ohio gets this crap.
MikeStinse
They get this crap now because this is how people always saw ohio but no one really cares about ohio either so you dont normally hear it
jrabbitmusic
I think its more about whats burning that has people upset. & the fact that it could’ve been prevented had regulations not been rolled back

I have great news! That thing about the credit card is BS. https://youtu.be/2Ntp6BqhSng

I don’t hydracloric acid would contaminate food like that. It might make it go bad faster or kill crops or animals.
youreathing
I'm not a chemist, but HCl is mainly a concern for respiratory issues. It's not a known carcinogen.
ManByTechnicality
Anybody that is worried about consuming trace amounts of hydrochloric acid has about 0% knowledge of how water treatment works.
youreathing
This. Also HCl is the stuff in your stomach (mainly), though in lower concentrations than the black cloud stuff.
ManByTechnicality
Granted, I am not saying that chemical accidents are okay. I work in a chemical plant and like 90% of my job is preventing releases. But /1
ManByTechnicality
All the media around this really shows that the public at large has very little knowledge about how much hazardous chemicals go into /2
