Residents of East Palestine, Ohio are facing the aftermath of a freight train derailment that released toxic chemicals into the environment, forcing thousands of locals to evacuate. A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Norfolk Southern, the company responsible for the derailment, alleging that they discharged more cancer-causing Vinyl Chloride into the environment than all industrial emitters combined did in the course of a year. The EPA is conducting tests to assess the damage and urging residents to take precautions to protect their health, while the lawsuit against Norfolk Southern is ongoing.
