- Thousands of people have had to be evacuated at the risk of explosions. Authorities set up an emergency situation in the Ohio East Palestinian at the scene of the accident.
A train with chemical material left the lane on February 3 in East Palestin (Ohio, USA). About 50 cars left. They have had to evacuate the population of the area and have established the emergency situation of East Palestin. The people have 5,000 inhabitants and there have been no deaths.
An accident ten days ago causes several wagons to be in danger of explosion due to the chemical material they contain. To prevent the explosion, dangerous material is being removed from the wagons. One of the wagons is the hydrogen. Contact with this gas can cause burns to the skin and eyes, as well as lung damage from inhalation.
