Clip from Article: "East Palestine Train Derailment...'We basically nuked the town': Hundreds of residents in Ohio village demand urgent testing of their homes after train wreck released toxic chemicals into the air - and officials tell them it's safe to return...Residents evacuated from an Ohio village where a freight train derailed before huge clouds of toxic gasses were released in an explosion fear they could still be in danger nearly two weeks later, despite authorities telling them it's safe to return home. About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash in East Palestine at about 9pm on Friday, February 3. Houses were evacuated after vinyl chloride was slowly released from five of those cars. Authorities then ignited the gases for a 'controlled release' of the highly flammable, toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke. ...Four lawsuits have now been filed against the rail operator, Norfolk Southern, including one which alleges the derailment was caused by negligence.
