Found out why the company responsible for the disaster in East Palestine refused to show up to a town hall to address residents' concerns:
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — City officials and residents of East Palestine attended a packed informational meeting Wednesday evening to discuss the ongoing cleanup efforts following a train derailment on Feb. 3, but Norfolk Southern said its representatives will not attend due to the"growing physical threat" to employees.
Jessica Helpy is an East Palestine homeowner, and a mother of two, who explained she and her son are having health issues since the derailment and chemical spill. “So far over 400 homes have had air monitoring inside from Norfolk Southern and the U.S. EPA," said Hardens. “I can say of all the tests conducted there have been no detectable substances from the substances that were in the derailment.”
We are not going anywhere. We are committed to East Palestine and will continue to respond to community concerns through our Family Assistance Center and our hotline for citizens to ask questions regarding return to home and health questions. We also plan to look for other opportunities to update residents on our actions over the coming days. We encourage all residents who have questions, concerns or need assistance to contact our Family Assistance Center at 800-230-7049.
