オハイオ州イーストパレスチンで起きた列車脱線事故 ダイオキシンが風にのって広範囲に移動

The poor maintenance that likely caused the Norfolk Southern derailment in Ohio is one of many things rail workers were ready to strike over until a Democratic Congress and President intervened and broke the strike.

Evacuations ordered amid fears of an explosion as an Ohio train continues burning days after derailment

Residents near the site of a train derailment that sparked a massive fire in East Palestine, Ohio, were urged to evacuate immediately Sunday night due to the risk of an explosion, authorities said.

“Within the last two hours, a drastic temperature change has taken place in a rail car, and there is now the potential of a catastrophic tanker failure which could cause an explosion with the potential of deadly shrapnel traveling up to a mile,” Gov. Mike DeWine warned in a statement Sunday.

The train crashed Friday while carrying hazardous materials and led to a large inferno that continues to burn, which has also prompted concerns about air quality.

The governor said that crews are working to prevent the explosion, but nearby residents must leave immediately. While most people in the one-mile radius have already evacuated, more than 500 people have declined to leave their homes, according to local officials.

Anyone who stays in the area could be arrested, Columbiana County Sheriff Brian McLaughlin said, warning that, “There is a high probability of a toxic gas release and or explosion.”

オハイオ州イーストパレスチンで起きた列車脱線事故の現場付近の住民は、爆発の危険性があるため、日曜日の夜に直ちに避難するよう当局に要請された。

マイク・デワイン知事は、「この2時間の間に、鉄道車両内で急激な温度変化が起こり、破滅的なタンカー故障の可能性があり、致命的な破片が1マイルまで移動する可能性のある爆発を引き起こすかもしれない」と、日曜日の声明で警告している。

金曜日に危険物を運んでいた列車が衝突し、大きな炎が上がり、今も燃え続けており、大気環境への影響も懸念されている。

知事によると、作業員は爆発を防ぐために働いているが、付近の住民は直ちに立ち去る必要があるとのことだ。地元当局によると、半径1マイルのほとんどの人はすでに避難しているが、500人以上が自宅を離れることを拒否しているという。

コロンビアーナ郡保安官ブライアン・マクラフリン氏は、「有毒ガスの放出や爆発の可能性が高い」と警告し、この地域に留まった人は逮捕される可能性があると述べた。

This may be one of the largest ecological disasters in US history.

There were roughly 100,000 gallons or 1,000,000 pounds of Vinyl Chloride leaked, spilled and burned at #EastPalestine crash.

2) DRINKING WATER now endangered. East Palestine police in Ohio is warning that drinking water may be "at-risk" for some people.

A task group is going door-to-door to test water.

6) I would not move back to Eastern Ohio area or the Western Pa areas downwind of it until extensive testing of air water and soil shows it is safe. My thread yesterday https://t.co/egX7GwYKjT
