Fire Results After Chemical Release At Derailment

A man takes photos as a black plume rises over East Palestine, Ohio, as a result of a controlled detonation of a portion of the derailed Norfolk and Southern trains Monday, Feb. 6, 2023. Authorities were monitoring the air quality to make sure that toxic fumes weren’t spreading. Ohio’s governor earlier ordered residents near the site to evacuate because of the risk of death or serious injury. Officials believe most have left.
