Ohio Train Wreck - NOAA Down Wind Alert: Upstate New York - Toxic Smoke - Poison - Trump Repealed Safety Law...
From Pennsylvania to Montreal, Canada...
NOAA officials say the chemicals released from the train accident in Ohio are affecting our (PA, NY & Montreal) region. A variety of contaminants and carcinogens, including 5 train cars worth of vinyl chloride, was reportedly involved in the accident. Officials let the public know that it is being released in a “controlled explosion.”
Trump Repealed Obama's Train Safety Law.
A rule was passed under President Barack Obama that made it a requirement for trains carrying hazardous flammable materials to have ECP brakes, but this was rescinded in 2017 by the Trump administration... https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-blame-ohio-train-derailment-1781163
2017: after rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration — backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans — rescinded part of the rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation’s rails.
Analysis: It is true that the Trump administration scrapped electronic braking regulations for trains carrying large amounts of hazardous liquids... However, "The ECP braking rule would've applied ONLY to HIGH HAZARD FLAMMABLE TRAINS. The train that derailed in East Palestine was a MIXED FREIGHT TRAIN containing only 3 placarded Class 3 flammable liquids cars."
Only Three Burning Poison Train Cars? Three is WAY Too Many!
So... the Laws Should Be Corrected to Require Brakes for ALL Trains Carrying Hazardous Chemicals...
