text: In reply to message36327: There was a mechanical failure on the train, apparently the train was already on fire as it passed through several towns before finally derailing in East Palestine. The cause of the derailment is still under investigation. When the cars derailed, few of the tanks didn't explode at first,but as time went on(days) the tanks became more unstable, causing them to have a contained release, because had those tanks exploded, it would have sent shrapnel in all directions up to a mile. Smell was bad, but I live on top of a hill, so unless you went into town or the other side of the mountain, we didn't smell it. Reports are coming in that fish have been seen dead, and water contamination clear down in West Virginia. Honestly I'm over it all...The amount of drama that's going on because of it all...Everyone is still in a panic, going crazy and sue happy.
