are reviewing multiple videos of the train prior to it derailing.
Investigators have not yet determined what they believe caused the disaster. Such a determination typically takes many months.The NTSB said it is reviewing other videos, too, including footage from two local businesses reported by local media to show glowing or flames from the train prior to the derailment.
The state's public utilities commission told Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine that the train was not considered a "high hazardous material train," DeWine told reporters Tuesday, an assertion he said he found "absurd." What Kavalec described as "fire combustion chemicals" did flow to the Ohio River, "but the Ohio River is very large, and it's a water body that's able to dilute the pollutants pretty quickly," she said.
About 3,500 fish across 12 different species have died in Ohio's waterways following the spill, Mary Mertz, the director of Ohio's Department of Natural Resources, said. Almost 500 cubic yards of "vinyl chloride-impacted material" has been removed, according to the Ohio EPA, and cleanup of contaminated dirt near the derailment site continues.
People with those symptoms should contact their medical provider and call the local hotline so a team can check that environment, he said.Ben Ratner has spent a lot of time thinking about what it would be like to survive a freight train chemical disaster. After all, he appeared in a movie about it.
