⚠️BREAKING—CDC team falls ill while investigating the health impacts of Ohio train derailment—➡️**7** US government investigators briefly fell ill in March while studying the possible health impacts of a toxic #OhioChemicalDisaster train derailment, @CDCgov confirms to CNN. 🧵 
2) The investigators’ symptoms included sore throats, headaches, coughing and nausea – consistent with what some residents experienced after the February 3 train derailment that released a cocktail of hazardous chemicals into the air, water and soil. cnn.com/2023/03/31/hea…
3) The investigators who experienced symptoms were part of a team conducting a house-to-house survey in an area near the derailment, and they immediately reported their symptoms to federal safety officers.
NEWS: Weeks after the #EastPalestineOH "controlled burn," residents are experiencing rashes, nosebleeds, & other symptoms.
"My face was burning but it didn’t freak me out until I looked in the mirror,” -EP resident Kristin Bagglia told us.

Kristin also had rashes on her leg/foot after showering. Her 8-year-old son has also been sick--she took him to ER last week for nosebleeds. Both of them were diagnosed w/ chemical inhalation. **HER WATER IS CONNECTED TO EP CITY WATER— which the governor and EPA declared safe.
“It feels like the worst flu imaginable,” Battaglia, 37, told us about her symptoms following the derailment. She also has an ear infection, sore throat, cough, chest pain, burning eyes, constant running nose, headaches and migraines, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and bone pain.
🧵on SVB: whether you think vulture capitalists and SV titans are getting a bailout or not (they are), the bigger picture here is what the IMMEDIATE govt response says about our political system: when plutocrats are threatened, govt acts in 48 hours. When ppl of East Palestine...
Flint, poor Black & brown communities, and name-your-Native-American reservation are poisoned by their govt and/or corporate America--politicians hide behind bureaucracy, red-tape, and legal excuses to basically do nothing...while regurgitating BS "all clear" declarations from...
the EPA, state environmental agencies, etc. Think about this...a month from now is the 9 year anniversary of the ONGOING #FlintWaterCrisis & residents STILL get rashes, receive smelly water, & have burning eyes in the shower. And ALL THE DESTROYED PIPES haven't been replaced...
The Senate hearing on the East Palestine train derailment is happening now. Norfolk Southern needs to be held accountable. Make the people whole. Make Norfolk Southern pay.

@SenatorCarper says this hearing is a time for all of us to put ourselves in the residents shoes, find out what happened, how to hold @nscorp accountable, and how to make sure this doesn't happen again #MakeNorfolkSouthernPay
@SenatorCapito thanks first responders for all of their work in responding to this disaster. She says the public deserved a better communication & transparency. Why did it take so long for @EPA @OhioEPA to get data to the public? The confusion fuels misinformation & confusion
The EPA and Norfolk Southern think they can "just come in and just mow these people in #EastPalesitneOH down and then baffle them with bullshit" -Bob Bowcock, water treatment expert and @ErinBrockovich's partner
@ErinBrockovich On a temporary dam Norfolk Southern erected filled with contaminated water overflowing VERY close to the groundwater, Bowcock said "they are basically flooding it out and blowing it out...boy if you ever want a coverup this is how you do it."
@ErinBrockovich WATCH FULL INTERVIEW w/ Bowcock and @louisd217
EPA is "making a really bad situation and actually making it worse; the community has 5 groundwater wells...this water that's in this creek can end up in groundwater wells in literally days...there will be a chronic contamination for decades," water treatment expert Bob Bowcock
Bowcock, who has 30 years of water treatment experience and partners w/ @ErinBrockovich, told @louisd217 the EPA's response to the #EastPalestineOH derailment & explosion has been "haphazard" and "uncontrolled"
BREAKING: A temporary dam erected by Norfolk Southern in #EastPalestineOH —with contaminated water—is overflowing AGAIN where Leslie Run and Sulphur Run creeks meet. There are 5 water wells in close proximity drawing from groundwater. This is at edge of East Palestine City Park.
The flooding is going into The Original Roadhouse restaurant parking lot where a lot of locals eat and drink. Pics taken by local resident Neko Figley, who posted on Facebook that he was told by contractors to leave because it was “super dangerous to be here right now.”
At last night's EPA/Norfolk Southern town hall w/ frustrated & desperate #EastPalestineOH residents, a Norfolk Southern lobbyist told residents and told them the company would not be paying to relocate residents despite widespread illnesses and homes that reek of chemicals...
"My grandkids have been sick for 2 weeks...they were diagnosed w/ chemical burns on their skin & throats; diagnosed my daughter w/ chemical bronchitis," -Stella, #EastPalestineOH resident. Norfolk Southern would only reimburse daughter's hotel for 4 days. "I am absolutely livid."
After going downtown 2 days ago, Stella, 68, got really dizzy and had a headache ever since. "I was up all night in the bathroom sick to my stomach. My feet are numb, around my lips are tingling," she told @TinaDesireeBerg @RonPlacone

"Like we're not going through enough!"-#EastPalestineOH resident who along w/ others waited on line all morning for reimbursement from Norfolk Southern—but was turned away for not having their Social Security cards...which they weren't told they needed.
"Why do they need Social Security cards for everyone in my house?...My one foster child has a bloody nose, Saturday morning when we woke up she couldn't breathe, my little dog—we have a Shichon— could not breathe," -Sherry tells @louisd217

"In the atmosphere, vinyl chloride exists almost entirely in the vapour phase & reacts with hydroxyl radicals and ozone, ultimately forming formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid & formic acid; its half-life is 1–4 days."
"When released to the ground, vinyl chloride is not adsorbed onto soil but migrates readily to groundwater, where it may be degraded to carbon dioxide and chloride ion or remain unchanged for several months or even years".

🧵FYI this is the time, after 2 weeks of coverage, when mainstream media moves off of a catastrophic story like #EastPalestineOH—when the cameras leave & coverage shifts from hourly/daily to occasional updates to abandon the story altogether. This happened w/ #FlintWaterCrisis.
Mainstream media outlets typically only care when they deem an URGENCY to a catastrophe—when it's new and the flames, or poison water, or adverse health symptoms seem most dire. In my experience, once they predictably stop covering and caring, is when the REAL coverup begins...
That coverup is a mixture of government, media, and in the case of East Palestine, the corporate (Norfolk Southern), pushing forward flawed testing in order to provide the "all clear" sign and sweep things under the rug. The void of media coverage—particularly ON-THE-GROUND...
The @OhioEPA should comment on this ASAP.

Hello @OhioEPA and @EPA I am not a smart person. Can you please dumb down your #EastPalestineOH Surface Water Contamination reports so they are readable by lay people?
How about a 1 page surface water analysis for creeks?
I asked Mayor Conway to do this in person Wednesday.

Here's how dumb I am. I cant even interpret the raw data below (partial screenshots). I must be an absolute moron, as I cant interpret if the results (measured amount) are safe.
I think this is the secret decoder ring. But man, this is a lot of work to answer "are the creeks safe to kayak in?"

Despite Gov. Dewine & EPA claiming water in #EastPalestineOH is safe, many water experts warn it is too soon to declare water safe. Bob Bowcock, a water treatment engineer with 30 years of experience, told SC schools should be taking extra precautions...
The middle school students--McKenzie, Ronnie, and Kylie—told @louisd217 they and their siblings have runny noses, rashes, headaches, burning eyes, and burns on their leg when they shower. "When we go out of town...we feel better. When we come into town, our eyes start burning."

"Are one of my children gonna have to drop dread?"-Candice, #EastPalestineOH resident w/ 5 sons who have rashes & other symptoms after explosion. Sons had to take DECONTAMINATION SHOWER before DR—who couldn't diagnose them w/ chemical burns w/out guidance from health dpt.🧵THREAD

Norfolk Southern has repeatedly offered her to pay for her relocation—AFTER she spoke out to national news. She told me her whole family is sick as are her neighbors throughout the town. Bronchitis, vomiting, nosebleeds, dizziness, splitting headaches to name a few symptoms…
When I asked her what she thought of national media like @nytimes and those outside of the town minimizing the catastrophe and attacking people equating the explosion to Chernobyl—she broke down in tears. “The news isn’t telling the truth…EVERYONE is sick. We need help now.”
