Ohio Derailment Slow Burn Disaster May Rival Ground Zero Casualties of 9-11

So we're going to officially chalk the Eastern Palestine Ohio derailment and subsequent explosion as a slow burn disaster that may rival the ground zero first responder health casualties of 9-11. The release of Vinyl Chloride into the atmosphere is a horrible event in part due to it's direct effects as well as the derivative compounds as it denatures.

I've been combing Twitter and I can only find a few high profile people on the right in small quantities and in libertarian circles talking about this still as most chalked it up to being done after initial reports and scant coverage.

The big issue is that this is a massive abdication of duty by the media who should be at least trying to give continued guidance to people who may be in areas proximal to this explosion or in soon to be affected areas because this public health crisis could have massive downstream ramifications that no one wants to admit.

I understand it's not juicy political influencer drama so clearly it's not going to do the rounds but the magnitude of a massive controlled explosion of caustic and carcinogenic materials in an area where there are other hazardous materials and this solution already produces toxic byproducts can't be understated.

Yes there is a period at which you need to take before speaking on something to gather the information or wait for the facts but the fact that this is not number one trending on Twitter has me perplexed given that the burn is evidently NOT as safe as they're making it to be. (I understand as more people talk about it it may very well trend but as of now 10:00am Central Time it isnt.)
