“There Are Roughly 1,000 Cases a Year of a Train Derailment” – Pete Buttigieg Downplays Ohio Train Derailment and Toxic Disaster (VIDEO)

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Thursday downplayed the Ohio train derailment and toxic disaster.

“About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash on Feb. 3 in East Palestine, Ohio. Vinyl chloride was later released into the air from five of those cars before crews ignited it to get rid of the highly flammable, toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke.” WBNS reported.
