Sam, I hope you’re right but looking at this picture it’s more that 2 1/2 miles that that fall out cloud covered. It could be bad in the future for the animals…. And humans. I worked in the chemical business and they, meaning everyone, handled this terribly. IMHO

No it was handled well. And you’re not the only one with chemical experience. That pic looks bad but the black cloud is hydrogen chloride and phosgene, both unstable molecules that breakdown quickly and were diluted to the point of being harmless. If the vinyl chloride tanks had bleved it would have been many times worse. If only 1 tank (there were 5) of vinyl chloride had gotten into the Ohio river 5 million people would have lost their water supply indefinitely.
Yes there’s been minnows and other small aquatics killed in the crick that flows from the site but most of that contamination came from the firefighting the night of the accident. The train took out the fuel distributor in town plus the tankers of petroleum were the biggest cause of the fire That night. After a few hours the fire fighters pulled back and let it burn.
70 fire depts from 3 states rendered mutual aid, no one died, no was injured, no homes were damaged, only 1 business suffered minor damage. I know lots of people around there. No one I know has had any health issues, none of their pets are having health issue, none of the farmers I know are having issues with livestock. And I’ve not seen credible evidence of dead wildlife other than 2 dead young raccoon, which it isn’t unusual to find this time of year.
What is hurting people is the scare mongering by media, lawyers and grifters.

Although Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, the Environmental Protection Agency, and local officials continue to assure Ohioans that recent air monitoring and water sample tests have shown no concerns with air quality or water quality in East Palestine’s municipal water supply, following the catastrophic train derailment on February 3rd, forestry workers have found that animals are dying at alarming rates.
A source told The Ohio Star that her husband, a wildlife biologist and consultant for the federal forestry, received hundreds of calls on both Sunday and Monday from colleagues who say forestry workers have found hundreds of dead animals in Ohio’s parks.

So, the reporter planted the 4 dead deer with NO gun shot wounds or sign of predator kills?

Yeah, maybe.
Forestry workers in Ohio state parks?....I guess it could happen. 🤔
God knows it should.
"Hundreds" dead in which parks?....not too many state Parks downwind or down stream of the site.
Is the Commonwealth also experiencing the same issues?
Lot of questions...hope any and all damage from the spill or the cleanup decisions is held to the minimum.
However, those claims and degree of the claims is suspicious.....not unknown for folks to use disasters to build a reputation.
Reporters can be right up there with journalists in today's world.
Not sure tho that any impact on hunting is of prime consideration at this point.....folks are justly afraid and suffering with the known, the unknown and, in some cases, the imaginable.
The ongoing disruption of daily life carrying problems none of us would wish to face.
Leadership from the top down appears less than stellar.

Good thing wild animals never die from natural causes. Every dead mammal, amphibian, fish and fowl was caused by the fire and the ensuing toxic smoke. Even saw a turkey in Virginia may have died due to derailment
