EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — From miles away, you could see and hear the explosion in East Palestine as a "controlled release" of chemicals inside the derailed railroad cars took place on Monday.
It looked like a black mushroom in the air.
"I'm worried about what's in the air. I'm worried about the kids, of course. It's very worrisome." says Cindy Labouy, the general manager of Cocca's Pizza in Poland.
While she is 15 miles from the site of the train derailment, she has taken orders from folks who came here to evacuate.
"It (the derailment) brings a lot of people into this area, as well as all of our hotels are booked up," Labouy explains.
