All residents within one mile radius of the train derailment were evacuated by local and state authorities. started To reduce the chance of an explosion, a controlled burning of industrial chemicals was done on the vehicle.

Carter Andrews, a producer at The Daily Wire, made the comment in a social media. Post After workers called twice, the police were called twice and the team was forced to leave the site. “The worst part about the wreck site was the horrible smell,” He recounted. “The chemically, stinging odor was so strong my eyes started watering.

DJ Yokley, an East Palestine business owner, was interviewed by The Daily Wire team. He noted that many of their neighbors depend on their livestock for their income. “This is a farm town, and there’s a lot of people whose livelihood depends on those animals that they sell for whatever reason.

An ethylene glycol monobutylether-containing train car currently contains an “unknown status,” Norfolk Southern states that while the amount ethylhexylacrylate is still present in other cars, it is not enough to cause any harm. “pending.” Only after residents were informed they could return to home, did the EPA issue the complete list.

“We just want answers and they’re not giving them,” reported Yokley. “What’s frustrating is the EPA tells us one thing and then two hours later it’s something different.”
