Nine months after the "poison train" accident in the United States, residents of the neighborhood are still feeling uneasy Governor's visit questioned as' show '#Kentucky#

Hundreds of residents were evacuated after a freight train carrying dangerous goods derailed in Kentucky Friday afternoon, triggering a fire and releasing toxic fumes. In fact, since the beginning of this year, there have been many derailments of trains carrying dangerous goods in the United States. In early February, a train derailed in Ohio, releasing a large amount of toxic chemicals. More than nine months after the accident, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recently visited the East Palestine town where the accident occurred. But residents say the town is still unsafe, and Leslie Pesci, an investigator with the Government Accountability Project, a nonprofit group in the United States, questioned the Ohio governor's visit as a "show."

 With this trip, Mr. Dwane hopes to regain the trust of local residents. However, residents say people in their community are still plagued by a variety of health problems. There are still kids with rashes, there are still kids or people in the community with nosebleeds for no reason, and everything is not okay here.

The derailment and the "controlled release" of toxic chemicals into the air, water and soil created an environmental crisis. The town's residents are still suffering from the health and environmental consequences of the accident.
