You might want to get a full physical and cancer screening. If you develop some weird health problems down the road you can "prove" that you were "healthy"
Are the stories of dead fish and sick livestock true or BS?

It's true about fish and animals, how bad it really is i cant say but been reading about in the newspaper's and on tv news. They really dont want people to know the full extent of this disastercarlherrnstein wrote: ↑Tue. Feb. 14, 2023 11:25 pmYou might want to get a full physical and cancer screening.

I live 20-25 miles Southeast of the site. I work less than 10 miles Southeast of the site. From my understanding the controlled burn took place on 2/6/2023 at around 3:30 in the afternoon. This was done due to the PSV(s) or some other safety device on one rail car malfunctioning causing pressure inside the tank car to build probably caused by nearby fire heating the surface of the tank. This was estimated to be safer than to allow the car to explode and possibly breech other hazmat containing cars that were derailed but otherwise safe. The substance burned off supposedly was vinyl chloride. A total of 5 cars were carrying the vinyl chloride but only one was released and burned. The other chemical that was spilled was butyl acrylate. It is reported that an entire tank car of this chemical was spilled. The train was carrying several other hazmat chemicals but were not released or spilled. I have a very close friend working for the derailment contractor cleaning up the non hazmat train cars. He sends me pictures of the site daily. So far it has been several boxcar loads of Corona beer. Several boxcar loads of canned groceries like pasta sauce and salad dressings and at leased one carload of Ford Maverick pickup trucks.

Good hands on review. Hope it all ends well. Any chemical is bad if its a large amount of it.exwoodburner wrote: ↑Wed. Feb. 15, 2023 9:41 amI live 20-25 miles Southeast of the site.

Just curious if there is any reason we should know where the chemical's final destination was? I'm sure it will eventually be available in the NTSB's investigation report. Those don't usually become available until months or even years after the incident though.
