Activist Erin Brockovich visited East Palestine, the site of the train derailment three weeks ago, ahead of a town hall happening Friday evening. LATEST COVERAGE: https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/ohio/ntsb-preliminary-report-east-palestine-train-derailment/530-2b0face8-82d0-43c5-a179-cd02d4733032 The crew operating a freight train that derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, didn’t get much warning before dozens of cars went off the tracks, and there is no indication that crew members did anything wrong. That's according to federal safety investigators, who released a preliminary report Thursday into the fiery wreck that prompted a toxic chemical release and an evacuation. The National Transportation Safety Board says the train's crew did not receive a critical warning about an overheated axle until just before dozens of cars went off the tracks. The report's release came as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg made his first visit to East Palestine since the wreck nearly three weeks ago.

Very honest, compassionate woman with a quality many activists don't have...plain common sense.
The gaslighting is almost as bad as the poison chemicals. This tragedy will effect people for decades. Thank you Erin for giving your voice during this media blackout.
Erin is a great communicator, no spin, no bullshit, gives it like it is.
When corporations know that government values them more than citizens, they have no trouble seeing citizens as disposable.
I do not live in Ohio or Pennsylvania, but my thoughts and prayers are with them all. I lived thru a massive environmental chemical toxic dumping in 1978 around the Love Canal, Niagara Falls NY. The community still today, are experiencing serious health issues and toxic gases infiltrating homes,water and land. Do not trust government! I thank you so much Erin for being there for them and .
Don’t trust the government !!! Thank you Erin for helping these people, giving them a voice .
Her message is so important and every American needs to hear it. The entire oligarcy in Washington needs to be dealt with by being held accountable for lobbying corruption and the fed. It's not a democracy its corrupt cabal.
She has said and done more for this town than the President and EPA. GREAT LADY
A poor community does not have the funds to leave.
One of the few actual “activists”, who actually is an activist, acting in good faith, with a critical mind, who knows not to blindly trust government and corporations alike, and when money and power is on the line, they will cover it right up. You’re not a conspiracy theorist for trusting your instinct and seeing things with your own eyes. This was so refreshing to listen to.
People can only take so much abuse. That goes for all people of this country. They need to cut the heart out of corporate power.
She's really incredible. Apparently she has a photographic memory and responds to so many mothers across the country worried about the environment their children are growing up in. She's created activists groups around the country particularly focused on areas where she's getting a concentration of information.
Thank you for being a voice for us, Erin Brockovich! You are telling our truth and everyone responsible needs to listen!
Erin sure has put her money where her mouth is all these years, still being the voice of the traumatized people and going to where she is needed even if the people there are too gobsmacked to think of asking her to be there. A movie made about her and all, she's still a humble soul compassionate and persistent in her difficult quest to get the people at the top to do the right thing. Bravo!!!
THIS is what caring sounds like. Our government needs to take notes.
So much respect for this woman!!
So happy to see Erin Brockovitch still giving strong advice on how we can all do our part! She is SO AMAZING! THANK YOU ERIN!!
Thank You Erin!!! Glad SOMEBODY is still in the business of telling the TRUTH✊🏾
Aged out infrastructure and profits over people. She totally nails it. Corporations that DO NOT care. CEO's that make ridiculous salaries while all these places are still contaminated
Thank you for the coverage & to Erin Brockovich, for sharing her knowledge and encouraging East Palestine (& people everywhere) to be our own advocates and stand for our rights
