EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — (EAST PALESTINE, Ohio) -- As the cleanup and investigation continues into the freight train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, concerned residents have been pushing government officials for more answers on the state of the surrounding environment.
GMA3: We have a lot to talk about, so let's get right into it. Why are you so confident that it's safe for residents to go back to their homes? And what do you tell people who are still skeptical?
GMA 3: So, Mr.Administrator, you were in East Palestine yesterday. You say that you trust the science here, but as a father, would you keep your family there if this was your town? And what were you hearing from residents yesterday? GMA 3: Sir, let's talk about some numbers here. This train had 141 freight cars with some carrying, of course, those extremely hazardous materials. It had three people on board. You had two rail workers and one trainee. Do you believe that's enough when you're transporting toxic chemicals?
GMA3: And we know the investigation is happening now, but I think a lot of people want to know how will the rail company, Norfolk Southern, be held accountable and what can the federal government do?
