Teretni vlak iskočio je iz tračnica u američkoj saveznoj državi Ohio kod grada East Palestine u noći s petka na subotu, a potom je izbio ogroman požar, zbog kojeg je naređena evakuacija stanovnika u krugu od 1,6 kilometara.
Teretni vlak čija je kompozicija imala sto vagona skliznuo je pod još nerazjašnjenim okolnostima s tračnica u američkoj saveznoj državi Ohio kod grada East Palestine, sjeveroistočno od Pittsburgha.

Dio vagona zahvatio je benzinsku pumpu i došlo je do velike eksplozije, javlja CBS.
Vidi se dim koji se diže iz plamena i ispunjava atmosferu.

Odmah je naređena evakucija, a za stanovnike je organizirano sklonište u tamošnjoj srednjoj školi East Palestine.

Zasad nema informacija o ozlijeđenima. Policijska uprava East Palestine nije odmah odgovorila na zahtjev Reutersa za detalje.
A fiery train derailment in East Palestine, OH is sending enough smoke into the atmosphere, that it can be seen on our weather Radar. That smoke is drifting into Beaver County. We will have the latest tonight at 11pm on @KDKA! pic.twitter.com/ynvztTDsQF

Teretna željeznica Norfolk Southern Corp "usko koordinira s lokalnim hitnim službama dok mobilizira vlastite timove", rekao je glasnogovornik tvrtke u priopćenju poslanom elektroničkom poštom.
Glasnogovornik nije zasad odgovorio na upite o tome što je vlak prevozio ili što je uzrokovalo iskakanje iz tračnica, a lokalni mediji neslužbeno spominju da je vlak navodno prevozio klor.
