FEMA, White House covered up East Palestine devastation: Exclusive

  • On February 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, releasing toxic chemicals and causing a large open burn of vinyl chloride.
  • The disaster arose from the derailment, followed by delayed, flawed government monitoring that missed key chemicals, used wrong locations, and postponed dioxin testing.
  • First responders and investigators fell ill, local livestock died, water showed oil slicks, yet the government insisted air and water were safe despite reports of illnesses.
  • FEMA leader James McPherson acknowledged on March 29, 2024, that cancer clusters were possible while EPA’s Regan maintained no danger after collecting over 100 million air data points.
  • The incident triggered criticism for prioritizing reassurance over health, led to a $310 million Norfolk Southern settlement, and raised ongoing concerns about long-term effects in the community.
