Doomed Planet


Feb 19, 2023

#084: On February 3rd a train derailed in East Palestine Ohio, catching fire and spilling hazardous chemicals. Three days later officials released vinyl chloride from the wreck in a "controlled burn." The disaster thrust Mayor Trent Conaway into the media spotlight, where he was caught between angry citizens and multiple government agencies insisting the town's water was safe to drink. In a stunt reminiscent of Obama's sip of Flint, Michigan water Conaway, Ohio EPA Director Anne Vogel, the Police Chief and Congressman Bill Johnson drank East Palestine faucet water. Conaway, a Trump supporter, is in way over his head.
