> Yes, the raw number of derailments is down. But that's not a very useful statistic. They're running more miles than ever as the economy continually grows.

If total derailments are down and total miles are up then derailments / miles is going to be lower not higher.

What you said doesn't make mathematical sense. Fractions can't increase if the numerator goes down and the denominator goes up.

> Yes, the raw number of derailments is down. But that's not a very useful statistic. They're running more miles than ever as the economy continually grows

If they're running more miles than ever, and the number of derailments is down, then the derailments per mile has to be down too.

Unless you live in a vacuum chamber it's not going to get any lower. AQI wasn't 0 before the industrial revolution, a background level of dirt, pollen, and other particulates is still going to exist regardless of pollution.

Air is excellent today.

So admit you've done your "due diligence" and now your're just being paranoid and mad that people won't help you be paranoid?

> There’s a VERY high chance that this will have long lasting effects on all of us

No there isn't. The only people saying that are russian trolls. Unless you live in East Palestine you're going to be fine.

> No one even knows wtf kind of chemicals were vented or burnt off

We do know.

Kind of meaningless unless you tested it before all this

> PA has an order of magnitude higher childhood cancer rate than the rest of the country

Not true according to the link you posted: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/53585

Worst writer ever.
