Yeah, if it was something really bad the US government would have been busy covering it up, I hear derailments are usual so this one isn't special other than because people were panicking.

And TikTok definitely pushed the narrative of a disaster that would poison everyone on the area will the government clearly say that it wasn't that bad and didn't pose a threat for anyone's health.

You think the US government could have covered up this?????

> I hear derailments are usual

When was the last time a derailment looked like this? Do you have an example?

Again, are you for real here????

Gee, I guess without TikTok everyone who lived under that black mushroom cloud would have just took the government’s words for it, and obviously TikTok is faking all the symptoms people are suffering /s

It's probably worse than most derailments but it was being pushed as a disaster on par with Chernobyl, it was overblown, again whether or not it was intentional TikTok had a narrative about how disastrous it was, some people got sick but no one has even died form this, it was badly exaggerated
