Surely these small town people will lay equal blame on the T admin as they did the B admin when East Palestine happened. /s

"the plant has cancelled production for the day" I mean, I sincerely hope that's part of a much larger response cause otherwise that's pathetic.

It only says most of the workers evacuated, some of those poor fucks had to stay behind in the red fumes.

I can't WAIT for Trump to FULLY DISMANTLE the EPA so this doesn't happen Again! And by that I mean being Evacuated After a Chemical LEAK!

Oh wow, the EPA still exists?

🤣 Ohio is such a shit state! How many chemical leaks are going to happen in Ohio? I'd be willing to bet if these leaks happened near the Governor's mansion they'd be stopped.

I await the pathetic DeWine photoshoot where he declares everything fine and healthy, and then in 6 months we are oh so surprised by the soil being extreme carcigenic.
