    I have read of large scale livestock deaths over a fairly wide area, and that state agencies are worried about long-term contamination of the water supplies in the area. Buttigieg has been concerned about there still being too many white people in the construction industry, so he was slow to address his transportation responsibilities. It seems that the people of eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania are tremendously upset with the way their lives have been so callously discarded by the state and federal authorities. I wonder how this disaster would have been treated differently if it had occurred out Washington D.C.? Some have said that without social media, the governments would have totally ignored the whole thing.

    In the news right now, a transport truck has overturned in Tucson, Arizona, and was carrying nitric acid. The acid is seen leaking out of the overturned truck, is deadly, and people are being told to shelter in place as well as they can.
    This looks like a plain flat freeway, and no reason that I can see why the truck would suddenly turn over. Here is a screenshot of the videos from Twitter news.

    Coincidence or not?? Maybe we just don't get all the news that's happening but this is especially being reported because of the train incident?? Weird, thanks for the info Yvonne. I had a lousy hand in Pokerstars anyway, when I got the notify someone posted here. No real money, just play chips ;)

    Having been conditioned to be suspicious of coincidences, I can't help but wonder if everything is connected.

    With covid, and all the other "incidences" of leaking-labs in China, balloons full of God knows what, leaking derailments, leaking tipped-over loads of toxic chemicals I think we'd be crazy not to care to get to the root of every "accident". While biden sits on his leaky-diapers I can't help but wonder what's next, or who's next on the list to be checked off. I mean our enemy's, human-types, all know the US is wide-open for any attack they want to make, from the inside, or outside.

    Young people with their whole lives ahead of them (suppose to have) must be so scared, or worse :(

    Can someone explain to me how you can "control" the release of something in our air or water. Is this just a term "they" use so people aren't so scared, angry, or ready to overthrow the government?

    We've been paying millions to take care of illegals but for our citizens why wasn't a full-scale rescue done to get these people out of harms way, which could cover a lot of territory if it's in the air and water?? Someone tell me to go get a hotel, I don't have the out of pocket money, and oh yeah, save my receipt biden will pay it back.

    I'm bitching and I don't have a solution to the problems that are mounting with this government, not one that anyone seems to ready to do that is. I know half the seniors that live here around me don't even bother to vote, which I feel like joining them at times. Not since we managed to get so many good conservatives in office though, I'll vote again.

    I think they burnt the stuff to keep it out of the water table. The story was that it was to prevent an explosion, but that didn't really make sense. They are controlling where the chemicals go and the form in which they are disbursed. That was why I asked if it would have been handled differently if it were in an area closer to a political center rather than in an area populated by "deplorables".

    Good afternoon to all-
    Accidents happen. People have to make adjustments when bad things happen. There's nothing political about such occurrences, and trying to make something political out of accidents is silly.

    Stuff will happen, we';; deal with it all as best we can, and we'll go on with life.

    We'll all be OK.

    good evening to all- Ed

    Some have said that the train wreck of a presidency has just been played out in life.

    Animals are dying, people are getting sick, and reporters are being arrested. But, there's nothing to see here. Reporters are being arrested because there's nothing to see here and the authorities don't want them wasting their time. Accidents happen, and our president assures us that elections are honest and toxic fumes are perfectly safe. But don't drive your car because the CO2 is going to kill us all in a week. Wars don't cause any environmental damage, however.

    Actually I have heard this referred to as "Biden's Chernobyl" since the toxicity is much worse than originally stated and the train carried more toxic substances than first announced. As @Ken Anderson said above: "Nothing to see here...." It is possible/theorized that the train was carrying stuff intended for weapons manufacture for the Ukraine War. Ukraine has been going through munitions like no one ever has since they are free and not costing them anything. The West has depleted its stores supplying Ukraine just as we are about to start wars with the Chinese and Iranians. I just saw the U.S. just shot down an Iranian drone over Syria. What the heck are doing shooting down stuff over Syria???

    Imagine that you had done something to have caused this level of damage. Do you think that every level of government would be trying to reassure everyone that it's not a big deal, or do you think they'd be coming after you with everything they've got?
