美国大生态灾难:列车出轨化学物外泄起火 毒雾漫天
It’s shocking that the massive ecological & public health disaster in East Palestine OH isn’t the lead story on every network.

Years ago I saw a man with angiosarcoma from vinyl chloride. It was unforgettable.

美国一列货运列车2月3日晚在俄亥俄州(Ohio)东巴勒斯坦镇(East Palestine)出轨,车上所载有毒化学物质引发大火。此事带来的致癌物在这2天内或已随雨水蔓延,污染空气、大量土地和水。当地居民拍摄照片显示,有大量动物死亡。有网民说,这可能成为美国史上大型生态灾难之一。
身在东巴勒斯坦镇疏散区外的农场东主Taylor Holzer说,他合法饲养好几只狐狸,都已病入膏肓。他说其中一只出现狂咳及腹泻的征状,情况恶化得很快。
他也指出,人们所饲养的猫都在生病和死去。除了动物,在受影响地生活的人也出现不适。
▼有网民在Twitter发布照片及截图,可见有毒黑烟在半空弥漫的情形,以及受影响的范围有多广:
Nothing to see here. Just the toxic cloud from the controlled explosion from the East Palestine train derailment.

As of 9pm, the outside smells of chlorine at our house, located about 15 miles N of the site. #EastPalestine #trainderailment pic.twitter.com/paVSV7vsZD
有网民在Twitter发文,称整个东巴勒斯坦镇已不能住人,因水源已被污染,牲畜及农作品已被摧毁,还有记者被捕:
立场极右的佐治亚州共和党众议院格林(Marjorie Taylor Greene)在Twitter转发影片,可见灾场火球与黑烟直扑半空的情形:
East Palestine, Ohio is undergoing an ecological disaster bc authorities blew up the train derailment cars carrying hazardous chemicals and press are being arrested for trying to tell the story.

Oh but UFO’s!
What is going on?

事发2月3日晚,在一列运载氯乙烯(Vinyl chloride)的诺福克南方(Norfolk Southern Corporation)列车,在美国俄州出轨后发生火灾。当地居民拍得影片显示,现场大火与黑烟直扑半空,甚至多到能被气象雷达侦测到。黑烟并已蔓延到附近小镇。
出事货运列车有逾100节车厢,约50节在俄州东部邻近宾夕法尼亚州的小镇东巴勒斯坦城(East Palestine)出轨——其中有20节运载有毒物质,出轨的占一半,包括5个运载压缩氯乙烯的车厢。
当地应急部门来到6日对毒物进行“受控释放”操作,将车厢馀下的化学物进行排放及燃烧。这导致方圆数公里内、近2,000名居民因面临威胁,需要紧急疏散。
有关这场污染灾难还有另一小插曲。当地政府就此事在8日举行的新闻发布会,非裔记者兰伯特(Evan Lambert)报道时被警方粗暴地拘捕。
他被要求勿在州长发表讲话时进行直播报道。警方称他擅闯发布会现场,他被关押5小时并付出保释金后才获释。
从警员随身摄录镜头拍得的影片,可见兰伯特被2名警察押着离开,并将他推倒在地,再向他上了手铐。兰伯特被他们按住时说:“这就是2023年作为一名黑人记者的感觉”。
NewsNation reporter @EvanLambertTV is out of an Ohio jail this morning, but many are asking why he was arrested in the first place.@JoeKhalilTV takes a step-by-step look, while providing his perspective as Evan’s friend and colleague.
