Ohio train derailment aftermath mishandled: Whistleblower.

This has always bothered me, I have a daughter in eastern Ohio. There was so much wrong going on from day one.

Perhaps we should be protesting Clean, Clean East Palestine

President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency waited nearly a week to send up a special plane to test the air and water around East Palestine, Ohio following last year’s toxic chemical train spill — and officials tried to cover up the delay once they did get around to launching it, a whistleblower has said.
Former EPA contractor Robert Kroutil came forward Tuesday with his shocking claims to NewsNation and the Associated Press, raising fresh questions about the White House’s much-scrutinized response to the Feb. 3, 2023, disaster.
According to Kroutil, who resigned this past January, the EPA’s Airborne Spectral Photometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) plane should have been in the air “in the first five to 10 hours after the incident and while the fires are still burning.”
 What’s more, Kroutil said, ASPECT program manager Paige Delgado ordered the plane’s operator to shut down the chemical sensors when it flew over the creeks in East Palestine — even though officials were concerned about toxins seeping into those waterways and potentially fouling drinking water supplies downstream on the Ohio River.
Kroutil added his satellite link to the plane’s instruments confirmed those sensors were turned off.
“I’ve done 180 different responses,” he told NewsNation. “I’ve never heard the program manager tell us to turn the sensor off when collecting data.”
