THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN A TRAIN DERAILMENT.
My name is Jamie Wallace and I'm from East Palestine, Ohio.
I lived within the one mile zone when the Norfolk Southern train derailed in my community.
I subsequently found out that my house was contaminated.
And if we had blindly listened to the EPA and went back into our house, that great harm or death could have came to my family.
Ever since then, I've been fighting.
I've been fighting for justice, for accountability, and to make our railways safer for everyone across America.
On February 3rd of 2023, a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine.
There were a bunch of different kinds of chemicals that derailed.
The biggest focus has always been on the vinyl chloride.
What was allegedly happening, which we found out later that this was not true, was
is the local officials and higher-level government officials were saying that one of the tankers full of vinyl chloride was going to explode.
They were saying temperatures were rising, the valve that was supposed to release pressure wasn't working, and that this explosion was inevitable.
What they said that they needed to do was to explode the tanker themselves to do a vent and burn.
The reasoning was that if the tanker exploded on its own, it would throw shrapnel within a mile radius and kind of destroy downtown and probably take lives.
We later found out that this was not true at the NTSB hearings.
Norfolk Southern, the responsible party.
was the one in charge and giving advice and they were telling our officials this while at the same time the owner of the vinyl chloride oxy vinyl was in another room telling norfolk southern it's not going to explode temperatures are going down but they wanted to get the railroad back up and running so they did a vent and burn where they caught these tankers of chemicals on fire it went from one tanker to five tankers of vinyl chloride that they ended up exploding the pictures are
unimaginable, the mushroom cloud looked like a atomic bomb was dropped.
When you show that picture to anyone across the United States, that's the first thing they associate it with.
