Why isn't this story being talked about at all in the main stream media?
This isn't a political story, it is a human being story. Americans at risk. They evacuated an entire town but what is the fallout to the surrounding areas? Water supply, the agricultural ground, the air they breath.....It happened over 10 days ago yet you see barely any coverage of it.... more coverage of "UFO's" being allegedly shot down than what perhaps should be the #1 story in America.
Curious to "why" this is getting ignored by MSM....
Time is a flat circle....

I watch David Muir Evening News on ABC. I believe they have provided updates every night since the accident.
Per ABC, East Palestine is a this town of 5,000 people that has always revolved, in one way or another, around these train tracks. They cut right through the center of town, with trains running "every 13 minutes." But in recent years, Norfolk Southern has cut thousands of jobs -- leading to many locals wondering if this rail car's broken axel could have been avoided. They call them bomb trains.
I also saw a short segment on my local news each day as well & they mentioned the water contamination was contained & since the initial fish kill of a couple hundred, it is no longer an immediate issue. Who knows about the long term aspect of the accident.
I'd like to hear how Governor DeWine is addressing the situation with Norfolk Southern. Haven't heard anything about that yet.

Keep in mind that Ohio Governor Mike DeWine was the one who ordered the chemicals to be set on fire.
When you think about the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and the GOP's tepid response, keep in mind that the Trump Administration did what railroad lobbyists wanted the most.
They repealed an Obama Administration safety rule for trains with hazardous chemicals.
Maybe Gym Jordan should forget about laptops and concentrate on trains for his state.

It isn't being ignored. I live in Oregon and split my time between here and Northern California. I barely follow the news and I have heard something about this story every day since it happened.

Ohio train derailment comes after long campaign by rail industry to weaken federal regulations governing the transportation of toxic materials. But oddly, right wing media is misrepresenting this disaster as a war against white people.

I'm the governor and I order you burn it all up! Yeah, right. The governor orders evacuations based on expert advice. He might have gave a final ok, he did not "order" it.
I see Newsweek says electronic braking systems were stopped by Trump. But when I Google search find that the Obama era proposal was for crude oil tank cars.
The real issue here is how this town's people are being treated. Median income of $45,000 per household they were told to evacuate, get a hotel and pay for it out of pocket and we will reimburse sometime in the future. Many living paycheck to paycheck cannot do it. Many residents were allowed to return when it was unsafe to do so, their homes and yards contaminated.
Treating American citizens like this while flying and housing illegal immigrants in $300 a night hotels is the hallmark of the Biden Administration.

ME: "this isn't a political story, it is a human being story" covers cesspool forum: "Trump did it" "GOP did it" Division....intolerance....everything the radicals want.....no surprise here sad to say. After 10 days of UFO reporting and balloon nonsense, I would just think it would be a bigger story than what it has been. Never mind, carry on....
You are correct
there Trumptardettes are sick, sick people
If this was in democrat Cali, or DC or if it was Trannytown U.S.A. they would have been all over containment, save the voters...I mean people, blame Trump.
They are sick, very sad people here
Isn't Butterfly Pete in charge of that broken axel? He must have hired the wrong fruit to maintain that train?
When I need a big swing, I'll call Petey B...until then he should be home pampering his man.

You do realize that KC cannot stand your boy Trump either right? He doesn't approve of your side either, no matter how long you wave your pom poms in the air for fat Donnie.

Why on Earth does that matter?
And like I said, blame Trump, classic, but why hasn't ButtiB reinstated a safety rule yet since they undid everything else Trump?
"The DOT didn't respond to a request for comment Wednesday asking why Buttigieg hasn't moved to reinstate the rule."
Wow, so the turd can blame Trump but can't answer why he hasn't reinstated the rule? Classic turd he is, that's why.
Inefficiency is why, too busy with other nonsense

Buttigieg should be there , breathing that air and drinking the water.
POSs, they should be getting people from 20 miles around out of there and compensating properly, which means certainly not less than they give illegals.
Blaming people that haven't been around for over 2 years , that's a loser
GTH

Fox news falsely blames Biden administration. However Ohio governor intends to make sure Norfolk southern pays for everything. So far, Norfolk southern began removal of chemicals and offering $1000 to local residents to cover evacuation costs. Businesses are filing lawsuits against Norfolk southern. Apparently, the company has failed to invest in modern safety brakes, adequate number of personnel and maintenance to prevent accidents,

Like some in the media have said......any time there's a transportation disaster, Mayor Pete is nowhere to be found. Just another disastrous Biden appointment.

East Palestine residents are pissed as the CEO of Norfolk Southern was supposed to speak to them and address their concerns at a town hall tonight and he didn’t show up. Maybe he realized Ohio is a concealed carry state.
He'll probably be asked to step down with a 300 million dollar parachute for safe landing.
Norfolk Southern made a record 12 billion in revenue last year. Instead of investing in safety measures, it authorized a 10 billion dollar stock buyback.
Greedy corporate fucks!

There's definitely something fishy going on. They made the decision to just nuke the place pretty quick.........& with the evidence gone up in caustic smoke, how will anyone be able to refute their "findings"?
I get it that sometimes there are only two choices......bad or worse. But again, who's to say any different now? Maybe worse for NS was having to spend millions on a proper clean-up. It's bullshit.

@kcblitzkrieg Why did you post it in the Politics forum instead of the General Discussion forum? Answer...because in the General Discussion forum your comments would have fallen on deaf ears.
Top of the morning to you Darkness..... You are 100% correct in this assessment. I've never posted anything in the General Discussion forum. I post in here and the mains, as do others.
As I originally stated, clearly to be seen and read by yourself and others, that this "is not a political story, it is a human being story". There are plenty of examples of topics in this sub forum that "are not political" but have turned "political".
My intent was to draw focus and question the attention, or lack thereof in my opinion, of the general MSM coverage.
YOU provided ABC news example....Stu provided anecdotal local / to his area coverage. That was 2 days ago and my response was
"After 10 days of UFO reporting and balloon nonsense, I would just think it would be a bigger story than what it has been. Never mind, carry on...."
As in, OK never mind it doesn't appear to be an issue and I may have been off base..... last night was the first time I saw actual coverage on a MSM news channel, two of them actually. Story is gaining more attention, and rightfully so.
I stand by my original position in that this is about human lives, American lives, and deserved more attention that it had garnered in the first TEN DAYS after the accident. It has now been 2 weeks.
If you take issue with me posting about a concern for the American people then feel free to take it up with MODS. Have a great day MID.
Time is a flat circle....

Darkness is full on Boomer.... he was raised in the identity politics era and cannot fathom anyone having an individual thought outside of "party lines".
Because I as a person do not identify by a political party, he can't stand that he can't attack me for being MAGA or Cult or whatever else the algobotfarm army in here call dissenters these days.... So now he is wanting to "shame me" for posting what was originally a non-political story in our beloved and sacred politics sub

Joe has already told DeWine the federal government will support Ohio in whatever resources he needs.
Government appears to doing their jobs. Mayor declares state of emergency. Governor orders mandatory evacuation of local residents and activates Ohio national guard to help. Emergency teams arrive from Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Evacuation order has been lifted after Environmental protection agency found that air and water qualities are safe. National transportation safety board determines that a mechanical issue causes train derailment. US transportation department works on investigation report.
