Toxic Chemicals To Be Released From Derailed Tanker Cars In Ohio Residents Evacuated

Residents near the Ohio-Pennsylvania state line were told to leave immediately or face the possibility of death.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine ordered evacuations in the area of the derailment that has been smoldering since Friday night. Authorities believe most, if not all, residents in the danger zone have left but they were knocking on doors one more time before releasing the vinyl chloride inside the cars, he said.
