On February 3, 2023, 38 cars from a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio near the border with Pennsylvania.

Residents within a 1-mile radius were evacuated, and the emergency response has been handled by agencies from three different states including Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
