Ohio train derailment: East Palestine mayor says he needs 'help' ahead of EPA administrator's visit
The mayor of an Ohio village where a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed earlier this month told ABC News that he "wasn't built for this" and needs "help."
East Palestine Mayor Trent Conaway briefly spoke to reporters on Wednesday evening, before a town hall meeting with residents in the local high school's gymnasium. ABC News asked Conaway about the pressure of being in the national spotlight and whether he has a message for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, who is slated to visit on Thursday.
"I need help," the mayor responded. "I'm not ready for this. I wasn't built for this. I always thought of myself as a leader. I will do whatever it takes."
Earlier Wednesday, Regan announced via Twitter that he will travel to the village in northeastern Ohio to visit the derailment site, hear from impacted residents and meet with the state's emergency responders.
"I want the residents of East Palestine to know that we understand their fears and concerns," Regan tweeted. "We are going to get through this together and we are holding Norfolk Southern accountable."
