On February 3rd, a 50-car Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine. Five of the cars were carrying vinyl chloride which is an extremely hazardous substance that has been proven to cause several types of cancer. Unfortunately, with the approval of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, a decision was made on February 6th to conduct a "controlled burn" of the wreckage. They knew that burning the vinyl chloride would create vast amounts of phosgene gas.

By now, most of you already know that phosgene gas was actually used as a chemical weapon in World War I. The cloud of toxic chemicals that was created by the "controlled burn" was so large that it could literally be seen from space, and the long-term health problems that are being caused all over the east coast could stretch on for decades.

But Ohio Governor Mike Dewine doesn't want to be blamed.

He is telling everyone from East Palestine to go back to their homes, and he insists that the water in the area is "safe to drink"…
