YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA chemical crisis at the GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove, CA, an oil spill in Los Angeles, a deadly catastrophe at the Nippon Dynawave paper mill in Longview, WA—why are there so many toxic disasters in the news right now?
As an award-winning journalist who covers toxic disasters like this all over the country, @therealnews Editor-in-Chief Maximillian explains why it feels like everything is falling apart at once, and why these latest disasters are just the tip of the iceberg after decades of corporations and the government turning the US into one giant, toxic "sacrifice zone."
