Dangerous chemicals on Train that has derailed in Ohio

[Botten]

Ohio catastrophe is ‘wake-up call’ to dangers of deadly train derailments

About 5000 affected by this derailment. Phosgene was carried on the train and it has mixed with hydrogen to create Phosgene which if breathed in can cause a host of problems resulting in death.

There was a small explosion from the train but it was contained.

Residents in a 10 mile radius of the crash around East Palestine were evacuated.

Residents return to find their animals dead on their farms.

Phosgene and hydrogen chloride plume across the region is highly toxic. There is more concern that this gas will seeps into the ground, crops and river water that heads towards the Mississippi River will be affected.

Phosgene oxime does not last in the environment for very long. It breaks down in soil within 2 hours when temperatures are normal, and it breaks down in water within a few days.

Just the opposite invest in them.

Pour money into them to make them more efficient than they already are.

lol

4 trillion to the 1% in the last 2 years is not enough for these psycopaths.

It seems weird that trains seem to de-rail more often than planes crash. And when they do, they're always full of some hilariously dangerous combination of chemicals.

Reminds me of that huge explosion in beirut a couple years ago. Like, oops! Turns out we were storing 5000 tons of ammonium nitrate inside the fireworks factory! What a bonehead move!

America:

Our trains are derailing

Our bridges are collapsing

Our manufacturing is gone

Our workers are revolting

Our education is a disaster

Our healthcare is a joke

Our stock market is fixed

Our currency is made up

And the only value we offer: hollywood, has dried up.

So we gotta invest in something because our goverment is trying to go to war with china

Union workers warned about this kind of thing specifically. Welcome to the exact form of capitalism guys like Trump and Biden will guarantee you. Let me guess, when morons on the right somehow realize this what their efforts get them, it will suddenly be "making it political"

In a statement, Candace Wagner, the 2022 Socialist Workers Party candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, who is also a freight rail conductor and member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union based in Pittsburgh, 40 miles from East Palestine, said:

“The most recent derailment in Ohio is a reflection of the dangerous working conditions facing rail workers and all those living in the communities alongside the tracks.

“The rail bosses, backed by the federal government, refused to address any safety or other substantive issues raised by rail workers through our unions in the recent national rail negotiations.

“In their lust for profits, the railroad bosses are running increasingly long, heavy trains and pushing on rail workers smaller crews, arbitrary schedules, longer shifts and more work than ever before. Massive cuts have been made in the operating crafts, car inspectors, mechanical and maintenance of way workforces. All this leads to derailments like this, which show that to protect rail workers and all those living near the tracks, our unions need to fight for workers control of production.

“We need measures like a limit of 50 cars per train; a minimum crew of four with two on the head end and two in a caboose or engine on the rear. The state authorities declared a state of emergency in the East Palestine area. Thousands have been evacuated near the derailment. No one knows the long-term effects of this incident on the health of the workers involved, the local residents, and on the air, soil and water.

“A capitalist government functions to guarantee profits for the bosses, facilitating their power to exploit workers’ labor. This is their job, not taking steps to develop the railroads or any other industry to advance the needs of society. For workers, union power and class independence becomes a precondition not only to take control over safety but to organize freight and passenger transportation not for profit, but to meet the needs of workers and farmers.

“We need to build a labor party based on our unions to unite all those exploited and oppressed by capital to organize effective solidarity with union and social struggles and fight to take political power into our own hands.”

The fucking union workers got busted by a democrat dont come lecturing to me, boy.

Now they want yet ANOTHER big check to write the 1%

get.

fucked.

Id rather the workers drove trains throught the fuckn walls and made the people we'd "invest in" pay for rebuilding their empire out of pocket.

First arrest all the rail owners for letting their rail collapse.

THEN

we can talk about writing their replacements, checks.
