Ohio Department of Natural Resources Estimates 44,000 Animals Killed By East Palestine Train Derailment

This new calculation estimates that a total of 38,222 minnows were potentially killed as a result of the derailment.It is estimated that a total of around 5,500 other species – again, things like small fish, crayfish, amphibians and macro-invertebrates, were also potentially killed as a result of the derailment.”

On Friday, the Ohio EPA released their final testing results, saying “that there is no indication of risk to East Palestine Public Water customers.”

“Treated drinking water shows no detection of contaminants associated with the derailment,” the agency said.

Politicians, including Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted, started drinking the tap water in East Palestine on camera over the weekend to “prove” that it is safe.

Too many strange "coincidences"

Strange Coincidence One Week Before Ohio Train Derailment

"Ever think about how many bizarre things have been happening in our world? There seems to be an ever-increasing number of strange events. If you consider them all together, things are even weirder. Are they all just coincidences? Was it a coincidence that every investigation into a deadly global pandemic was thwarted by an authoritarian dictatorship?

How about the collective Draconian responses by governments all over the world as a result of a virus killing people? And speaking of governments, was it just a fluke that a feeble old man campaigned from his basement during that deadliest health crisis in 100 years and subsequently got more votes than any U.S. presidential candidate in history?

After that remarkable, very suspicious election, this same feeble old man started to wipe out policies in the country that supposedly elected him. Is it a coincidence that Joe Biden slammed the door shut on U.S. energy production at the same time he flung open the door to millions of illegal migrants and deadly illicit drugs?"

Read about the rest of the craziness and what happened a week before the Palestine train derailment.

Five of the roughly 13 derailed train cars were carrying gasoline, which was the reason for the fire.

And they say, expect more train accidents. Who does/pays for the clean-up? They Told You So, Joe?
