Inconvenient facts about chemical spill in #EastPalestine⁣
⁣
- 5 tankers vinyl chloride, approx 125 gals, toxic⁣
⁣
- gov. burned it off instead of cleanup⁣
⁣
- burning = hydrogen chloride, unstable, attaches to h20 = hydrochloric acid.⁣
⁣
- toxic gas clouds 10 mile radius

This is another case of gross negligence on the part of not only the companies involved, but the regulatory bodies of government, and of course the government entities that are supposed to keep us “safe“.

The simple fact of the matter is is that these things do happen, however

there were other methods of cleanup that are available. They could have cooled down the tanks immediately and kept the vinyl chloride in its original liquid form.

vinyl chloride has a boil point of 8°F and it is well known to be an extremely toxic substance - especially when

burned and turned into gas.

Norfolk southern railway along with the appropriate government entities decided to burn or to allow the continuation of the burn of these toxic gases into the environment. It doesn’t take a rocket science to figure out that there will be collateral

damage. People are reporting dead animals in large amounts and tons of damage to the surrounding area. This is being covered up and ignored by the main stream media. Surprise surprise.

But just keep watching the sky for those fucking UFOs. Don’t worry about getting fucked down

here on the ground.

This is just another example of the corporate fascism that exists in this country. None of these people give a fuck about you. They are driven by profit, greed, and power.

As far as they are concerned this is no longer there problem.
