They arrested some poor slob Reporter for trying to Report what was happening.
All the Other Reporters are doing what they are told so they do not get Arrested them selves.
Sounds like it’s a lot more serious than they’re making it out to be. But they’re shooting down balloons so there’s that. Fugkin idiots running this country.
MSM is damn near silent. What a mess, and sounds like bad decisions on the part of officials is making it worse.
Lots of talk on twitter regarding the disaster. Norfolk Southern is worth $55 billion, they can afford to blackout anything they want in the MSM. MSM doesn't give a crap about you and me.

You’re right and the railroad exists in its own universe too.

I have operated trains thru Salem and East Palestine the news coverage in this article is not entirely accurate, when the Engineer is notified of a defect from a detector the action required is to stop the train with what is called safe train handling. This would typically be reducing the throttle and then apply the train brakes at a normal rate (Service Rate) not an emergency brake application, in fact using an emergency brake application would be considered improper train handling (Unless an emergency was known). The Engineer would be fully aware he was carrying Hazardous Material and applying the brakes in an emergency application would require the conductor to walk the entire train and inspect it and therefore an Engineer initiated emergency application would be avoided at all cost. Now as soon as the train derailed this would cause an automatic emergency brake application this might be where the reporter miss-reported.
At approximately 8:55pm on February 3rd a major train derailment happened near the border between Ohio and Pennsylvania. In an Ohio town called East Palestine, a Norfolk Southern train pulling 150 cars derailed. 20 of those cars were carrying hazardous materials, including a liquified substance called “Vinyl Chloride.”
A massive explosion and fire resulted from the derailment and the nature of the cargo. In an effort to mitigate the problem, responding emergency authorities dug a trench and allowed the chemicals to burn off into the atmosphere. However, vinyl chloride turns into hydrochloric acid when it mixes with water vapor. The resulting chemical toxins can travel with wind, forming toxic clouds.
Several people in the downwind region from the initial explosion have reported health issues. Additionally, animals and fish have been reported to have been killed in the zone where the chemical cloud traveled.
There is now increasing concern about longer term impacts from the release of the chemicals including vinyl chloride.
The White House and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg have been silent on the issue.
Norfolk Southern and the EPA released the full list of chemicals that were being transported, they include:

thanks for bringing this up
yep, the patriotic goobers much more interested in the super bowel and the half time show
rail rail roads donate tens of millions to politicians every year so any crime goes untouched
I'm surprised I haven't already seen the boomers and others chime in with "why, I've handled chemicals, eaten food cooked on teflon, breathed in paraquat fumes, showered in Roundup, worn asbestos underwear, gotten dozens of vaccinations, and I'm in perfect health! Them chemicals ain't dangerous!"

Can't believe nobody saw that covered hopper and called it in somehow. Oh, that's right, the trains are so forking long you can't even SEE that far, oh, that's right, no calabooses no more. But drug 20 miles like THAT? Nobody awake anywhere?
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.
There are unverified reports, in the area of the disaster, of the recently dead reanimating, shambling around, and repeating the word "brains." Residents are advised to remain indoors.
This [bleep] is getting bad. 4 derailments, a chemical "accident" that is being actively covered up, a dozen balloons, and a pile of UFOs... in a week!

Other than NPR every one of those is from 10 days after it happened. And if you have to google it to find it then yeah, it’s being buried.
Yes its crazy. Like i said, where are all the environmental warriors on this? A true disaster worthy of non stop coverage. Nope, its getting burried. Nothing to see here
