Residents Feel Sick and Pets Are Dying After the Ohio Toxic Train Derailment

 

A few weeks ago, a Norfolk Southern freight train was carrying hazardous chemicals near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. Then, it derailed and caught fire. The spill of chemicals seeped into the earth, air, and water.

 

Locals have reported feeling sick, and many pets in the affected area have died.

 

Norfolk Southern could have prevented this crash, but instead, chose to take shortcuts, resulting in the toxic chemical spill that caught fire and turned into hydrochloric acid.

 

Even short exposure to hydrochloric acid can lead to blindness, severe burns, and internal damage. And now, it's in the air and water in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

 

It's still unclear exactly what the lasting effects of the spill could be, but some scientists say that the impact of the spill could potentially be felt for years.

 

Sign the petition to demand Norfolk Southern set up and fund healthcare and monitoring for residents affected by the train crash!
