Days after the horrific train derailment incident in East Palestine, Ohio, pictures of the aftermath faced and seen by people have come to the limelight.On February 3, a train traveling from Illinois to Pennsylvania carrying toxic materials derailed at around 9 pm, seemingly due to a mechanical problem with a wheel bearing due to overheating.Twenty of the train's 150 freight carriages were carrying hazardous items. The crash included over 50 carriages, with ten transporting toxic items.SNAFUradio@SNAFUradio2Ohio black cloud big56Ohio black cloud big https://t.co/7YXZQeoPaDInitially, the authorities were worried that the site might experience an explosion due to all the chemicals, but they were able to remove five carriages containing vinyl chloride, a toxic substance used to manufacture plastic.Last week, while draining the chemicals into a trench, authorities burnt the chemicals in a controlled manner that led to a thick black cloud of smoke that was visible from up in the air.Screenshot of a Twitter user remarking on the toxic cloud formed due to the Ohio train derailment incident."Deeply unsettling": Twitter reactions to Ohio's toxic chemical cloudAfter an unverified picture of Ohio's toxic chemical cloud up in the air went viral on the internet, Twitterati expressed their concern.

They are also testing groundwater to see if there's any possible contamination.
