On Friday, The Gateway Pundit published a story about a NewsNation
reporter that was arrested while shooting a live segment from a
gymnasium where Ohio’s governor Mike DeWine was addressing a crowd from
the other side of the building. In the body cam footage, a National
Guard Major General is seen shoving the reporter while a local police
officer gets in between the general and the reporter.
NewsNation’s Evan Lambert was arrested for covering what happened a week earlier on February 4th, 2023: A Norfolk Southern train derailed in
East Palestine, Ohio, effecting some 50 rail cars, 20 of which were
thought to be carrying a dangerous chemical known as vinyl chloride. Initially, the derailment led to more than 1,500 Ohioans being evacuated
from nearby areas. Over that weekend, the chemicals burning made it too difficult for firefighters and first responders to put out the fire.
On Monday, February 6th, crews “released” the toxic chemicals into the air from at least five of the derailed tankers citing a risk of exploding.
Vinyl Chloride is a dangerous chemical that was released during a 2012
train derailment in New Jersey. According to a WestLake Chemical
product summary description:
Vinyl Chloride is a known human carcinogen. Long term overexposure to
Vinyl Chloride in humans and laboratory animals has been known to cause angiosarcoma of the liver
When exposed to open flames, open electrical elements, or electrical
arcs, Vinyl Chloride liquid or vapor can decompose to form toxic
andcorrosive fumes. Depending on conditions, when Vinyl Chloride is
exposed to high temperatures, heat, or ignition, hydrogen chloride gas,
which is highly irritating to the nose and throat, as well as trace
levels of phosgene gas, may be produced.
It is now being reported that there were more chemicals on board the
train. The EPA has sent a letter to Norfolk Southern stating that
ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate and isobutylene
were found in the derailed cars as well.
According to a hazardous materials expert interviewed by local news WKBN:
“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Silverado Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist.
Caggiano says ethylhexyl acrylate is especially worrisome. He says it’s
a carcinogen and contact with it can cause burning and irritation in the
skin and eyes. Breathing it in can irritate the nose and throat and
cause coughing and shortness of breath.
Isobutylene is also known to cause dizziness and drowsiness when inhaled.
Residents are taking to Twitter and other social media to document their experiences with the “controlled release”:
The massive explosion and poisoning of American citizens should be a
much bigger story….why isn’t the media talking about Ohio more?
