Another accident occurred in the United States, which could turn into an environmental disaster

The United States has been covered by a series of accidents, each of which has already caused or may still cause irreparable damage to the environment. At the same time, the White House simply ignores what is happening, focusing on "pumping" weapons Ukraine, and President Joe Biden does “brilliant jokes” at press conferences, even if the tragedy with the attack on the school becomes their reason.

According to the ABC News channel, yesterday, March 28, an accident occurred on the Ohio River in Kentucky, as a result of which 10 barges “unfastened” from the tugboat for an unknown reason. One of them, carrying almost 1,5 thousand tons of methanol, collided with the dam of the McAlpine Dam in Louisville and partially sank.



According to ABC News, the dam's airlocks are temporarily closed to prevent the spread of toxic alcohol. Damage from the emergency is assessed by local authorities and environmentalists.



However, this is not the only accident that has occurred in the United States in the past couple of months.

On the eve it was reported that the state of California derailed a freight train with iron ore. According to the statements of local authorities, nothing threatens the environment and the population.

At the same time, a train also derailed in North Dakota on March 26. The train transported 70 wagons with oil products used in the production of asphalt.

Finally, do not forget about the disaster in Ohio, which happened on February 4th. The crash of a train carrying tanks of chemicals was nicknamed the "second Chernobyl". Meanwhile, the state authorities allowed residents of the town of East Palestine to return to their homes two weeks later, which caused an extremely negative reaction from a number of environmentalists and scientists.

      Or maybe they were before, but there was simply no such close attention?
      If cases became more frequent only now, then I think all the special services would be on their ears there, but no one writes about it, no one talks about it ...

    I remember before there was an interesting program Underwater Odyssey of the Cousteau team. In one of the episodes, it was told about the oil spill off the coast of the United States. It was announced there that the corporation had not allocated a single cent to help the coast, flora and fauna. Only volunteers and members of the Cousteau team helped. So there is reason to think

    USA hit by a series of accidents
    Meanwhile, Biden deigns to eat chocolate chip ice cream and tries to joke. After accidents and man-made disasters, the United States will be covered by a financial crisis, which American experts are already loudly talking about. And then you look at something else.

    During the period of "glasnost" and decline, degradation of the huge Union, railway disasters and man-made disasters rained down like from a cornucopia, a terrible earthquake in Armenia - all this drove nails into the coffin. And no one could even imagine that the mighty and indestructible would fall apart before our eyes.

    Just offhand - Ashinsky, Kamensk-Shakhtinskaya railway disaster with a huge number of victims

    or the growth of cases of illumination of these with us ???

    Why not? But the "mattress dream" is dying more and more, then the collapse of banks, then trains, then blue and pink are inadequate ... The more they talk about this in the world, the less there will be those who want to dump it there for permanent residence, well, except for downs of an indefinite orientation ( let them die of crossbreeding and venereology).

    Methanol, in principle, has a large molecule, but are there filters of this level at the water intakes of cities on the Ohio River? Maybe send a humanitarian aid in the form of black glasses and Labradoodles to the USA? Well, and former canes, or shall we wait for the collapse of tanks with dichloroethane, so as not to miscalculate with help?

    The smallest among alcohols. It differs from water by having one carbon atom.
    And yes, “toxic alcohol” can even be drunk WITHOUT IRREVERSIBLE CONSEQUENCES for the body. So the screeching about "environmental catastrophe" is somewhat exaggerated. You can calculate how much of this very “toxic” gets into nature with an automobile “anti-freeze”. And the fact that the "official" liquid consists of isopropyl alcohol with the addition of ethylasolve and phosphate surfactants is of no interest to anyone.

    Another accident occurred in the United States, which could turn into an environmental disaster

    Occurring accidents at railways and other facilities in the United States and more and more news about this on VO ...
    What is this for? What would we be glad about, how bad the Americans are? Or not to report that man-made accidents can occur in all countries?
    If everything is bad with the Americans, then everything will not automatically become good for us.
    We can rejoice. But those Americans who, due to the dilapidation of their railways, overload in the desire of companies to earn more, save on security, differ from us in the language in which we communicate, passports and the fact that ordinary Americans are indifferent to both Russia and China, and that, that Ukraine wanted to become a country of attack on Russia.
