EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — In East Palestine Thursday, longtime residents were not surprised by the revelation that the controlled burn of toxic chemicals in East Palestine last year following the train derailment and fire maybe didn’t need to happen.
“There were some heated moments of conversation,” Drabick said. Still, the decision to vent and burn, which created a plume of smoke, sending toxins into the soil and creeks, was one he stood by. “There was another option: let it cool down. It was cooling down. We know for a fact that when that pressure release device went off that it had to have been above 185 degrees much later over the course of 22 hours that the tank car was cooling,” Homendy said.
“Governor DeWine spent hours with incident command and Norfolk Southern contractors on the day of the release and asked numerous questions to understand the facts. No one—not one single expert—opined that day about there being any other scenario occurring besides either a catastrophic explosion or a controlled release to prevent such an explosion.
