Animals are falling sick and dying near the site of a hellish Ohio train derailment last Friday which released toxic chemicals into the air, according to reports — sparking fears of the potential health impacts the crash could have on humans.

 

Taylor Holzer, owner of a dairy farm just outside the evacuation zone in East Palestine, told WKBN several foxes he keeps on his property have become mortally ill.

 

“Out of nowhere, he just started coughing really hard, just shut down, and he had liquid diarrhea and just went very fast,” Holzer told the outlet of one of his animals.

That's sad.  Issue needs to be revisited urgently vis-a-vis human beings.

Chemical spill soon after in Texas (Sunday) and another  one in Tucson  last night. 
 

* Comparatively little news reporting while we are distracted by balloons, earthquake deaths in Turkey, Ukraine, etc 

 

*   No emergency alert on my phone for the Tucson spill. Nextdoor has nothing 

 

* Even Chest under comments 

 

We got back from a vacation and the only thing that was amiss was that the navigation app rerouted us to get off I-10 sooner than normal. I figured the usual  late night freeway construction or accidents. It was an “accident”.  Nitric acid spill. Truck driver dead. 
 

America is under attack and no one who was “elected” to do something about it is doing a thing.  But don’t worry. CBP sent us to secondary inspection to look at our dried pork rinds.  Good god the inanity.  

 

The rhetorical  question is why  are these chemical ”accidents”  being under reported? We know why.

Sad state of affairs, eh?

A buddy of mine who is a pilot working out of Orlando airport says that for months now, when he tries to go thru known crew member screening (a method for airline crews to skip the normal TSA security), he has been getting "randomed" about 80% of the time and has to go thru regular security.  Has gotten so frequent that he now refuses to walk thru the machine, he insists on a personal pat down, in uniform, in front of all the passengers.

I was going to make a thread about this a while back, but I figured it wouldn't be interesting or lead to argument.

 

What has happened in Ohio is also affecting WV and PA. People claim that where the cloud has drifted is also making them sick as far away as Canada. The way I see it is we need an infrastructure overhaul. Why do trains carry chemicals like this and many combinations of chemicals like this on such aging systems? How do we hold these companies responsible? How can we make transportation safer? It's a recipe for disaster. 

 

It's unfortunately not a new event, these things have been happening for a very long time.

He should  just sign up for FFDO.  No point patting down a pilot packing heat.

One doesn't just "sign up" for FFDO.  It's a process, and a LOT of responsibility and hassle.

Maybe if the cloud makes its way to DC, our elite leaders will think it is important.
