I agree these are too many incidents to believe they are coincidence, especially looking at our government, or lack thereof. If I was an enemy of the US I'd be pretty busy "attacking" while" our so-called pants are down
I have read reports about foreign statements concerning attacking a weakened U.S lead by a "demented old man". Sad what we have done to ourselves and what has been done to us.
Good article Yvonne! I'm curious to know where else and the timing on other cities/States that were also offering these new devices I'm becoming pretty friendly with the term "trust no one" I mean putting EMTs/hospitals information on peoples health faster can seem good to me but ulterior motives?? Given the horrific tests & experiments run on people in world histor, maybe still happening, why would we think it could never happen again. One reason I started taking responsibility for knowing as much as I can about my own body before I agree to any tests, or pills. I'll be my own guinea pig, but damned if I'll knowing let "doctors" experiment on me. Ever notice how many drug commercials there are on TV, including SmartTV apps?? And we worry about drug cartels? Big Pharma is the biggest drug pusher in America. How many Americans never even look up the side-effects that "now" have to be listed or mentioned? Sorry, wandering off track, no pun intended.
Yes, absolutely Don, the world is watching, can't hide our stupidity. Give me Orange Man any day, I don't care if he's a braggart, so was Mohammed Ali and everyone loved him. President Trumps actions spoke way louder than his words, and it's principles over personality for me.
i just read a report ...cdc...changed it's information page on vinyl chloride...days before the ohio derailing...changed levels of toxicity and effects on children
I also worry that we are not being told everything that was on the train. Perhaps that is one of the reasons it was set aflame...to hide the evidence of the crime.
That's so weird you're finding this info, and they released it (the cdc)days before the incident. Thanks Teresa. Talk about "deep State" we have to dig deep to find things out don't we. There's been a lot of leaks of info too from people who care/have consciences!
it's very sad and frightening to know it could happen because of our own government...not Russia...Russia..Russia
I don't know the statistics (if they're even reliable) but seems to me the US is self-destructing and not enough of us to stop it from happening.
I read that the Ohio derailment started from a faulty axle on one car. There are videos of sparks from it. Plus the train had an old braking system, in which the cars brake one at a time, starting with the front. New systems have all cars that brake at the same time. Regulations in 2015 required the new braking system for trains carrying hazardous chemicals. Norfolk & Southern fought regulations and succeeded in having it's train classified as non hazardous due to a loophole in wording. I think the regulation was dropped in 2018. As to the clean up afterwards. I would worry about residue that fell on everything from the smoke and fumes. I'd think all surfaces should be "wiped down" literally to be safe. I didn't hear anyone mention that possibility. I know people are complaining about fairly minor irritations since.
I must have had a memory lapse but I'm pretty certain I started this thread. I don't know for sure but if I did, I wasn't notified that someone changed the OP, or if my post was removed. Just asking ok?
We had two threads about the train crash, and they were merged. The first one was started before yours was started, so those posts now show up first in the thread. Your thread had the best informative title, so that is why it still has the same title but has more information , @Denise Happyfeet , and the other posts were simply added into your thread. Your original post is still there, it is post #9 now after the earlier posts were added into your thread.
Ok, I'd like to be notified, and have been in the past if that would be ok?? I mean I just don't like not knowing if my brain has blown another fuse, or something having to do with me has changed. What was the title of your thread Yvonne since I search the boards before I make a post?
The original posts were added into a really old thread about trains crashing several years ago. Since you started a brand new thread about the Ohio train wreck disaster, i simply moved the posts from the old thread into the new thread that you had started, where they were much more appropriate to discuss this new tragedy. Here is the old thread about train wrecks and hazardous materials, if you want to also read that, Denise. It made more sense for the new posts to be in your thread than to leave them in the old thread. http://www.seniorsonly.club/threads/is-it-safe-to-transport-crude-oil-by-freight-train.481/
