       The ongoing crisis in East Palestine represents an
       [glow=red,2,300]environmental and humanitarian disaster[/glow]
       that hasn’t been seen in the United States in recent memory. The
       [glow=red,2,300]scenes[/glow] from East Palestine look as if
       they’re taken straight out of a [glow=red,2,300]horror
       film[/glow] depicting nuclear winter. ... ...
       Following the controlled burn, local authorities received
       multiple concerning reports from residents outside of the
       mile-long radius of the evacuation area conveying that the
       emergency posed by the disaster was far from over. One local
       farmer reported the sudden deaths of many of the animals on the
       premises of his farm, Park Dairy. The farmer, Taylor Holzer,
       also works with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources as a
       registered foxkeeper. Following the disbursement of chemical
       agents into the air from the controlled burn, many of the foxes
       on Holzer’s farm experienced fatal effects from the air quality
       surrounding the area.
       “Out of nowhere, he [a fox] just started coughing really hard,
       just shut down,” Holzer recalled to local media outlet WKBN 27
       News. “This is not how a fox should act. He is very weak, limp.
       His eyes are very watery and weepy. Smoke and chemicals from the
       train, that’s the only thing that can cause it, because it
       doesn’t just happen out of nowhere,” he added.
       “The [b][glow=maroon,2,300]☠️ chemicals[/glow] that
       we’re being told are safe in the air, that’s definitely
       [glow=red,2,300]not[/glow] safe for the animals…or people.”[/b]
       [center]

       Holzer’s concerns were echoed by reports from other residents
       who described similar conditions near their own properties. One
       of those residents was Katlyn Schwarzwaelder, the operator of a
       local dog kennel in nearby Darlington, Pennsylvania. The
       catastrophe caused her to leave her home despite the fact that
       it lies more than 10 miles away from the site of the controlled
       burn. After fleeing to Boardman, Ohio, 15 miles away from the
       derailment, Schwarzwaelder stated she received multiple reports
       of [glow=red,2,300]dead[/glow] [glow=red,2,300]chickens,
       fish[/glow], and [glow=red,2,300]other animals[/glow] from
       friends and acquaintances. One affected resident told
       Schwarzwaelder that they let their 2-year old dog out to use the
       bathroom only for it never to return. When they embarked upon a
       search for their missing pet, they found it dead

       SNIPPET:
       Former President Trump flew into town to help stoke the flames
       of division and blame. Trump called the authority’s response to
       the disaster a “betrayal.” “You are not forgotten,” he added.
       As Trump exploited the disaster, it is worth remembering that
       his administration gutted 100 federal safety laws, including
       weakening routine rail safety audits following accidents and
       throwing out minimum staffing levels on freight trains. It is
       hardly surprising the Democratic National Committee hit back
       saying Trump and his administration rolled back “transportation
       safety and environmental rules, including toxic chemical
       regulations."
       Trump is not alone in trying to exploit the crisis. The
       right-wing media, “has seized on this moment to launch baseless
       conspiracies about why the government’s response has been so
       poor,” reports the Guardian. “According to them, the Biden
       administration has abandoned East Palestine because the people
       living there are white, poor and working class.”
       Controversial Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson has been at the
       forefront of trying to use the race card. He said, “East
       Palestine is overwhelmingly white and it’s politically
       conservative.”
       Playing the racial culture wars card in East Palestine is a
       diversionary tactic about what really caused this disaster. As
       Greg Sargent notes in the Washington Post, the derailment is
       about “profit-driven rail companies underinvesting in safety”
       and “lobbyists weakening rail regulation."
       The bottom line, as I wrote earlier this month, is that
       America’s railroads are broken. The [glow=red,2,300]system is
       broken[/glow], potentially putting tens of millions of Americans
       at &#9760;&#65039; risk, no matter their color. There are a
       staggering 1,000 train derailments each year in America. It is
       estimated that some 25 million Americans live within one mile of
       rail lines that carry [glow=red,2,300]toxic crude oil or
       chemicals[/glow]. The number of households within
       [glow=red,2,300]blast[/glow] distance if a &#128163; train
       &#128165; [glow=brown,2,300]explodes[/glow] is even greater.

       Air pollutants include gases and particulate matter, or
       microscopic solids or liquid droplets. Pollutant gases include
       nitrogen dioxide and black carbon, which are derived mostly from
       the burning of fossil fuel, and ozone, which results from
       pollutants emitted from cars, power plants, refineries, and

       The bulk carrier Gingo has become the first capesize ship to
       sail the Northern Sea Route, according to Russian media reports.
       Separately, a non ice-strengthened tanker is
       [glow=maroon,2,300]currently conducting a transit—marking
       another first[/glow].
       [center]
  HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-270922165849.jpeg[/center]
       The Gingo departed the Port of Murmansk on a 13-day eastbound
       voyage to China carrying 164,600 metric tons of iron ore
       concentrate, marking the largest single cargo to be transported
       via the NSR. The ship was assisted by two Atomflot icebreakers.
       Ship traffic along the Russian-controlled Northern Sea Route is
       increasing due to warmer winters and longer navigation seasons,
       with Russia even looking to conduct year-round navigation
       through the route.
       According to Russia’s Minister for the Development of the
       Russian Far East and Arctic, freight traffic along the NSR has
       increased from 4 million tonnes in 2014 to 34 million tonnes in
       2022, having become a major transport corridor for the export of
       oil, LNG, mineral fertilizers, metals and other products. Russia
       is looking to increase the capacity of the NSR to up to to 100
       million tonnes by 2026 and 200 million tonnes by 2030.
       In a separate but related event, a report today from High North
       News indicates that Russia has sent a non-ice class Aframax oil
       tanker, the Leonid Loza, on a voyage through the Northern Sea
       Route from Murmansk to Ningbo, China, as Russia seeks to boost
       crude oil shipments to China. The report said the voyage marks
       the first time a conventional oil tanker will use the Arctic
       route, calling it a “watershed” moment for shipping through the
       Arctic.
       “Even in this day and age, a fully-laden crude oil tanker is
       probably the last type of ship that should be sent through the
       #NorthernSeaRoute without any ice-strengthening,” Aker Arctic
       wrote in a post published to “X”. Aker Arctic is a leading
       builder of icebreakers.

       SNIPPET:
       Smit Salvage South Africa general manager, Richard Robertson,
       detailed the significant challenges posed by the harsh winter
       weather. After initially retrieving about eight tons of
       lubricating oils and low sulfur fuels, the vessel was battered
       by inclement weather and broke into four pieces. This breach led
       to a fuel and oil spill, necessitating a major clean-up
       operation along the adjacent coastal area.
       “It is not called the Cape of Storms for no reason,” said
       Robertson, acknowledging the daunting task ahead.
       The briefing also included insights from the vessel insurer’s
       representative, Michael Heads, Managing Director of 2Oceans P&I
       Correspondents, Rudolph Pint, Salvage Master at Smit Salvage
       South Africa, SAMSA Chief Operations Officer, Sobantu Tilayi,
       and Siboniso Ngema, Commercial and Human Resources Director at
       SpillTech.

       [center][glow=red,2,300]&#128680; Hazmat [/glow]Causes
       Evacuations in Georgia and Ohio &#128556;[/center]
       SNIPPET:
       Schools, businesses, and more than 200 homes in Whitewater
       Township, OH were evacuated last week after the chemical
       &#9760;&#65039; styrene leaked from a rail car.
       Styrene is a flammable and toxic liquid used to make
       polystyrene, fiberglass, rubber, latex, and many other
       industrial products. When exposed to excess heat, styrene
       changes from a liquid to a gas. In this case, the change in
       physical state put tremendous pressure on the tank car's valve,
       which failed, venting gas upwards.
       Exposure to &#9760;&#65039; styrene gas can cause vomiting,
       dizziness, eye irritation, and respiratory complications.
       Officials have established air quality monitoring stations and
       did not detect concentrations of styrene in the air. The
       incident is under investigation.
       Unfortunately, the &#9760;&#65039; styrene release in Ohio was
       not the most disruptive hazmat incident last week.
       [glow=red,2,300]Chemical Plant &#128293;
       [glow=red,2,300]Fire[/glow] Affects &#128534; 90,000 [/glow]Near
       Atlanta
       In the Atlanta metro area, officials recommended that more than
       90,0000 residents shelter in place and asked ~17,000 people to
       evacuate from the suburb of Conyers, GA, where a fire broke out
       at a chemical plant that manufactures pool and spa treatment
       products on Sunday, September 30.
       The US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB)
       dispatched a team of investigators to the scene of the fire and
       chlorine release.
       The fire reportedly started on the roof of the facility at about
       5 A.M. ET. Initial reports indicate that the fire started when a
       malfunctioning sprinkler head caused water to contact a water
       reactive chemical. On Monday, residents were told to continue
       sheltering in place.

       Ohio

       Smoke from the &#128293; [glow=red,2,300]fire[/glow] in Conyers,
       GA could reportedly be seen for miles.
       Air quality surveys showed that the large plumes of black, gray,
       and orange smoke that billowed above the facility contained
       chlorine. Chlorine exposure can cause burning of eyes, nose and
       mouth, cough, choking, vomiting, and other symptoms.
       The roof of the facility has caved in. The smoke plume may be
       visible for several days, officials say. By Monday morning, hazy
       conditions and a chemical smell had drifted to Atlanta proper,
       leading Atlanta Fire Rescue to monitor air quality around the
       city.
       Lithium Batteries  &#128165; Explode and [glow=red,2,300]
       &#128293; Burn[/glow] in San Pedro, CA
       Southern California experienced a [glow=red,2,300]hazmat
       transportation incident[/glow] last week, too, on September 26.
       In San Pedro, a truck hauling a shipment of lithium batteries
       rolled over &#129318;&#8205;&#9794;&#65039;, exploded, and
       caught fire.
