That's a giant cloud of [vinyl chloride] and a ton of other bad chemicals. The local police blew it up like a beached whale, now megatoxins are Chernobyling Ohio and there's a news blackout and the police are beating reporters and camera people and dragging em. This environmental devastation will be visible from space for decades. The water is safe to drink but everything in it is suddenly dead. The next town over, the release instantly killed everyone's chickens. This stuff is catnip for human cancer. This will cast a massive acid rain shadow and destroy swaths of vegetation, leaving a path of ruin that will appear as if God himself took his thumb and smudged it over Ohio, Pennsylvania, and beyond."
They performed a “controlled burn” which is a stupid idea. Basically they wanted to avoid the substances leaking in the river, so they decided to turn it all into acid rain with a dose of toxicity.
Let’s be real. They didn’t give a damn about that river either. They just wanted those mangled traincars off the track so Norfolk Southern could resume operations ASAP. The only thought which occurred to them was “what is the fastest way to get this thing out of here?” So they opted for the Florence, Oregon beached whale removal strategy.

You are absolutely right!
