I love Pittsburgh. The sense of community sometimes gets lost in the day to day but when it's needed it's still there. Every time there is a major incident like this it's always followed up by stories of how the whole region pulled together. I miss living there.

It's amazing for me to see the factory that I literally grew up across the river from — and tbh, which probably gave me asthma — making world headlines. And for the most terrible possible reasons.
I'm thinking about the family members who lost loved ones, and about the first responders who were confronted with a horrible situation yesterday.
And feeling solidarity with my fellow members of the #Steelworkers union.

I've had far too many relatives die early deaths from cancer and heart disease. My allergies greatly subsided after moving away.

I grew up with the chemicals from this plant coating my lungs. A win for Clairtonians.

British steelmaking is going green, but US Steel in the #Pittsburgh area is sticking with the old, heavily polluting, coal-based process.
