    Last week on FOX: "Why did sleepy Joe wait so long to shoot down the balloon?"
    This week on FOX: "Why did Dark Brandon act so rashly and shoot down the balloon so quickly?"

    Did you happen to mean you wouldn’t be surprised?

    No, I think he meant that there was no earthquake, everyone supposedly affected was crisis actors, and earthquakes are fake news.

    Dude, I have way too much fun fucking around with flat earthers on Reddit. If he meant that, it’s pretty tame compared to the Magnetic North Pole moving to another area of the Greater Earth Realm and leaving us all in 25,000 years of darkness and frozen wasteland.

    Color me shocked that the death toll was over 25k.

    As to the rest of it.....the fuck, what y'all?

    To go back to before the weirdness, I was just asking, because you wrote you would be surprised, and then I saw all the news that it was passing 25k and seemingly running hard toward 30k. Didn’t know if you were indeed surprised, or if you meant to say you wouldn’t be.

    So does anyone want to talk about that train derailment that happened in East Palestine, Ohio, that released literal tons of toxic chemicals into the air?

    @kublakhan, you live in Ohio, right?

    @downndirty, has FEMA been called into action?

    There is surprisingly little news about this.

    Maybe breaking a strike when the railroad workers were warning of something exactly like this happening was not a great idea?

    Maybe having Trump drop those rail safety legistlation was a bit of a bad thing too?

    Definitely. Or it’s all a false flag to divert attention from the military shooting down alien spaceships.

    But nobody's talking about it... unless the train derailment IS the alien craft that was shot down, and all the toxic death clouds are alien fuels burning off.

    I’m willing to believe it. Thank you, Agent Mulder.

    If you managed to defeat physics in order to invent FTL travel, cross the galaxy, and arrive at a small primitive planet, only to be shot down by a bunch of apes flinging steel tubes propelled by fossilized algae... you deserve it.

    Maybe it's their equivalent of an underage drunk driver?

    (Reads previous posts. Shakes head). I hope a valuable lesson was learned by all.

    I've been following it, and to my knowledge FEMA's not significantly involved (the declaration process would require the governor to request federal assistance, and they are more likely to request it from EPA than FEMA). For some oil spills, we don't get invovled but EPA does. Shit's weird, yo.

    I lost the bet on how Ohio could get even worse.

    One of the chemicals (vinyl chloride) is considered carcinogenic and highly toxic in quantities of 1 part per million. At least a few thousand gallons of it were exposed to a watershed that serves 25 million people. Christ only knows about the other chemicals released, but it's not like the stuff used to make PVC pipe is healthy. Now, vinyl chloride is a gas, and the focus has been on air quality, which...(laughs at Ohio). However, that gas can be absorbed by all kinds of stuff, and it's likely going to have some wildly adverse health affects for anyone in the area (see: carcinogenic at 1ppm).

    This kind of cleanup is the stuff nightmares are made of. With an oil spill, there's a protocol, and when it hits the water, oil (generally) will be on top. There are detergents that break oil down, etc. With this....not only is it hazardous for the responders, but the availability of supplies to clean these chemicals specifically and the experience level of the people dealing with it might as well be zero. Also, there's always a factor of the funky shit that that happens when it's released into the wild, making it unpredictable. It an environmental disaster with no precedent.

    I asked my buddy at EPA about what he would do and his reply: "quit".

    This shit is top-tier nasty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_chloride

    It’s so weird that’s it’s being barely reported. Or at least it was up until a few days ago.

    And what the hell is Mayor Pete doing? Is this not in his wheelhouse?

    What a total ecological disaster.

    I saw this photo this AM, thought I'd share it here. This is a photo a passenger on an airplane flying past the site of the derailment took.
