Amazing day in the field!
Did the 7 hour drive and put 7 hours of field work in, day 1.
Our 6th research visit to #EastPalestine #Ohio area has begun.

Sulfur Run, where the chemicals first entered waterways from The Norfolk Southern #disaster is practically free of water in some places.
Some places are flowing others seemingly with stagnant pools.

Sheen still exudes from the Sulfur Run creek banks in places where we visited.
We did see free floating sheen (not from us disturbing) after the confluence of Sulfur Run and Leslie Run.

What are the odds that East #Palenstine, #Ohio was one of the 1st cities that partnered with MyID medical bands back in October 2022?
Shocking! This is an actual freight train moving over a twisted, "bendy" railway track linking Ohio and Indiana in the USA!!
It's like a 4th world country.
America should fix its sh*thole infrastructure rather than waging endless wars.

Apparently, derailments are very common in the US. On the average, 1700 trains go off the tracks every year!
We only hear about it when really toxic/hazardous materials spill and cause a huge damage.
This is stupidity beyond belief.

Compare this to the awesome railway infrastructure that links China and Europe — built by the Chinese government, of course.
Every month, 1000+ freight trains carry goods from China to dozens of European cities — from Hamburg to London and Madrid.

When a #FreightTrain carrying toxic chemicals derailed near #EastPalestine, #Ohio, bursting into flame and sending up clouds of poisonous vinyl chloride smoke and gas, our immediate concerns were for the people in harm's way and the train's crew:

Those immediate concerns were soon joined by broader worries: that the entire rail industry presented a systematic danger, and the Ohio #derailment was a symptom of a much deeper pathology that endangered anyone who lives near one of the rail corridors that crisscross the US. 3/
