A resident in East Palestine, Ohio, is asking Americans to 'pray for us' following the February 3 train derailment.
A resident in East Palestine, Ohio, is asking Americans to “pray for us” following the February 3 train derailment that resulted in residents being ordered to evacuate their homes on both sides of the Ohio-Pennsylvania border as fears of hazardous chemicals and a possible explosion loomed.
“God is in control,” the resident added. “And I think so often we forget that, that he is in control. That he knew this before it even happened.” “[It’s] not a good way to get your name on the map in international coverage,” she said. “It’s just been very trying, especially for those downtown, and those that have been basically affected by this.”
On February 3, a train operated by Norfolk Southern was carrying chemicals — including vinyl chloride, a highly volatile colorless gas produced for commercial uses — when it derailed, spilling the chemicals. A fire was then sparked, which sent thick billowing smoke into the sky.
