A video claiming to show the extent of the water contamination in Ohio after the East Palestine train derailment has gone viral with more than 11 million views on social media.
......
The footage was posted by Nick Sortor on 16 February and shows a woman tossing a log into a stream water in the area around East Palestine, with colourful patterns soon appearing on the surface. The people featured in the footage suggest that the log brought up chemicals sitting on the riverbed.
The footage prompted debates on social media regarding the safety of the water in the area after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it was safe.
......
In a 15 February statement issued by Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine, the authorities said that “new water testing results have been returned to the Ohio EPA. These results show no detection of contaminants in raw water from the five wells that feed into East Palestine’s municipal water system”.

“I know that there’s been some video played on TV circulating of visible contamination in one of the local waterways,” Mr DeWine said on Friday, according to Fox News. “A section of Sulfur Run that is very near the crash site remains severely contaminated. We knew this. We know this. It’s going to take a while to remediate this.”
......
“This is not a simple process,” he added. “We’re encouraging people to continue to avoid that area.”
“There are dead worms and dead fish all throughout this water,” Mr Vance said in the footage.
Running a stick along the bottom of the stream, he said chemicals were “coming out of the ground”.
“This is disgusting,” he added.
......
“Out of an abundance of caution,” Mr DeWine told those with private wells to use bottled water.
......
the governor has sent a letter “to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requesting that they immediately send medical experts to East Palestine to evaluate and counsel members of the community who have questions and/or are experiencing symptoms”.
