On average, there are ~1700 train derailments per year in the US. So this is nothing unusual.
Lack of good professional education for blue collar jobs plus infrastructure in bad shape.
The current crisis is a literal trainwreck that resulted in an explosion sending highly toxic compounds into a major American water supply but somehow national emergency has not been declared after almost two weeks.
Sorry I'm being pedantic here, but I think it is important to be clear that the train wreck itself did not cause any explosions, fires, or leaks.
The dramatic pictures and videos of the smoke columns, black clouds, river filled with dead fish, etc, were all results of the toxic chemicals being deliberately released and set on fire after the accident in what is being called a "controlled release".
This is why in one of the videos posted earlier, there was a very angry man that accused the railroad company of deliberately poisoning everything just so that they can put the rail line back into operation slightly sooner.
absolutely inexcusable. their excuse is that combustion products of vinyl chloride is just carbon dioxide, water and HCl which while bad, disperses in the air eventually and dissolves for some mildly acidic rain.Sorry I'm being pedantic here, but I think it is important to be clear that the train wreck itself did not cause any explosions, fires, or leaks.

Well that makes it even worse.
Okay... so the balloons, and now deliberately torching an entire city and forcing citizens to evacAbsolutely. What's happening in Ohio is not due to incompetence or lack of attention by the people with power. It is happening because it is intentional.
