New drone video from the East Palestine, Ohio train crash site shows the progress being made in the cleanup following the derailment two-weeks ago today.
Amid concerns of chemicals in the Ohio River after the East Palestine train derailment, Gov. Mike DeWine provided another update Friday morning to say the water is safe.
“I’m happy to report this morning that sampling has shown the plume has now completely dissipated," Gov. DeWine announced in regard to the Ohio River. "It was never thought to be a threat, but they could get slight detections."
He said the Ohio River is monitored very extensively all year long and people down the river in areas like Cincinnati have no reason to be concerned.
"To give you some idea of the numbers, the level of concern for this contaminant is 560 parts per billion," he said. "Readings yesterday, when we could still get a reading on it, were under three parts per billion.”
