YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Everything changed for Laurie Harmon and her neighbors on Feb. 3, 2023, when a Norfolk Southern "bomb train' carrying hazardous chemicals derailed less than a mile away from her home in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio. Three days later, Norfolk Southern pressured local authorities to dump and burn five tanker cars full of vinyl chloride, blasting a massive chemical plume into the air and exposing residents to toxins that have poisoned their bodies and homes. Three years later, Harmon and other residents are still suffering the toxic fallout from one of the worst industrial disasters in US history.
