Ohio train crash: Evacuation order lifted but fears remain over chemical spill

Al Jazeera, 09 Feb 2023
The governor of Ohio has lifted an evacuation order for residents of East Palestine.
That is after a train derailment last week caused a life-threatening chemical spill.
Five train carriages were carrying vinyl chloride, which can be fatal when inhaled, and has been linked to cancer.
Emergency workers performed a controlled burn of the chemical on Monday, but residents remain worried about long-term contamination.

Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports from Beaver County in Pennsylvania.
