A train derailed near East Palestine, Ohio on February 3rd. The train was carrying multiple toxic chemicals that are dangerous to all living things. The residents of East Palestine were evacuated for 5 days so the chemicals could be burned, to avoid explosion. It is unclear the true human and environmental impact this spill will have. Information keeps changing, and there are questions about the truthfulness of the information that has been released.
