Video Showing Odd Colors in Ohio Water

A video that appears to show water contamination in a river in Ohio, following a train derailment earlier this month, has gone viral on social media.

The Norfolk Southern transport company train derailed near the Ohio town of East Palestine, carrying about 150 cars, 20 of which contained hazardous material on February 4.

Discussion surrounding the video has reignited fears that the water and the surrounding area may be badly contaminated, despite assurances from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the area is safe.
