Ohio Train Derailment Could Bring Cancer Risk, Millions in Damage
(Bloomberg)
"Nearly two weeks after a train carrying #carcinogenic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, the extent of the damage to the nearby community is still unclear. Railroads face a traffic backlog and operator Norfolk Southern Corp. could rack up tens of millions of dollars in costs.
"Though residents have been allowed to return to their homes, many remain concerned about the long-term environmental effects of the Feb. 3 accident. Some of them watched from a distance as a fiery cloud blazed above the wreckage after Norfolk Southern, in conjunction with authorities, decided to intentionally vent and burn some of the railcars to avoid a potential explosion.
“'I’ve had discussions with some people who live right near ground zero who are hesitant to come back,' said James Wise, a local attorney who filed a class-action lawsuit against Norfolk Southern on behalf of some residents. 'There are people with young children and they don’t know what effects it’s going to have.'"

<see prev>...#BrexitParty actually saying on these topics. You may not trust them but that's a different matter. We don't fully trust anyone. We may examine them ourselves.
Agree some will be worse off, but in relative terms those who do actual #productive work should gain over #speculators.
#HelpToBuy must go too, for example.
BJ threatening to bring in #carcinogenic #food from t #USA should mobilise #Britons to reject him fully - he wants #Brexit to fail.
