I take it you hold a shit-ton of Live Nation Entertainment stock.

Yeah, it kind of worries me that the PA Dept. of Environmental Protection hasn't specifically mentioned dioxin in their testing.

Swift and a bunch of her buddies who have the biggest tours need to get together and say they're not using TM. Of course, they might lose a little money and maybe couldn't even play some cities if there isn't a large non-TM venue.

Thanks for the input - and yeah, good idea on skipping trout season. And yeah history has proven time and time again in this state that every environmental disaster is so much worse than what they initially publicly report - sick of it. Stay safe.

Just remember that the soviet union gave the people that lived and helped to clean up chernobyl, free healthcare for life.

Feel free to fact check,

I learned this from a documentery soo its probably not that accurate.

(No, AP and Reuters aren't any better than legacy media outlets with an explicit flavor)

> The government should come down on Northfork Southern quickly,

Pretty sure the party in power just busted up a rail worker strike, so no, that won't be happening.

Dioxin and many of the other combustion products are solids, and will have settled out of the plume and into the soil based on prevailing winds.

that is not the right thing to do from a public health standpoint. It might be the right thing to do from a political standpoint, provided you are on the opposite side. It is not clear what to do from an ethical standpoint, provided that you are on the opposite side. if you had family that was stuck in the area that shared your political opinion would you feel different

ethics can be funny selfish things

"...well documented..."

I don't think so. Care to provide a source?

But everything is perfectly safe!!!!! I should move in there too!!!!

I'm in Western PA and the news here has said they've been doing tests to make sure everything is safe and the local governments are trying to make sure areas in Western PA that were close but not in the evacuation zone aren't forgotten by Norfolk Southern.

I know people with farms in Beaver County, PA have been concerned about whether their crops, livestock, or water could be contaminated but no one so far has found anything but the air being contaminated during the idiotic controlled burn. I'm hoping that because our part of the Ohio River is upstream from the derailment the contamination won't spread to the many rivers in the Pittsburgh area, but I'd hope they're being tested regularly since I know some of the Pittsburgh universities like Carnegie Mellon were involved in independent testing in East Palestine.

However, the person I knew who tested the local waterways and raised concerns about what had gone into the Allegheny River when a Norfolk Southern train with hazardous material derailed into the river in 2005 isn't here anymore so I can't find out the real water results this time and know from the 2005 crash not to blindly accept the publicly reported results, so it's kind of anyone's guess right now if it's really safe with the first day of trout starting March 25th for youth and April 1st for everyone else. I'll be erring on the side of caution and skipping fishing this year unless I find someone local who has independently verified the local water and the fish in it aren't contaminated.

Just admit you support Russian imperialism. At the very least, you support allowing it over keeping it in check.

Hopefully the “safe limit” of carcinogenic chemicals is zero?? None is how much I would like

I'm impressed he's living up to his band's name in a way

They just keep telling the offenders to test for their mistakes. Why is the EPA leaving it to someone else to test?
