#Ohio town rues chemical #train derailment as 'our #Chernobyl'

For East #Palestine residents John and Lisa Hamner, life as they knew it came to a screeching, flaming halt at 20:55 on 3 February.

It was that day that a toxin-laden train derailed just metres from their successful garbage truck business, which they'd grown from five customers to more than 7,000 over an 18-year period in and around this close-knit Ohio town.

"It's totally wrecked our life," he told the BBC, choking back tears in the parking lot of his business, where the stench of chemicals and sulphur from the derailment remains powerful.

"I'm at the point now where I want out of here," he added. "We're going to relocate. We can't do it no more."

The #train #derailment and subsequent #chemical #explosion in East #Palestine, #Ohio is being described by many as “devastating” and potentially “America’s #Chernobyl.” Mind you, not by Norfolk Southern, the rail company responsible or the Biden administration, which took a full ten days before making even a statement about the catastrophe. But a #catastrophe it appears to be nevertheless, and in 21st century America it’s likely that the powerful interests responsible won’t be held accountable while the poorer victims will bear the brunt. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Norfolk Souther’s offer of $25,000 as compensation for the people of East Palestine, which amounts to roughly $5 per resident.

Heavy smoke engulfed the skies of East Palestine, Ohio, triggering evacuations throughout the week. The authorities declared a state of emergency in East Palestine.
