"Seven US government investigators briefly fell ill in early March while studying the possible health impacts of a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to CNN on Thursday.

The investigators’ symptoms included sore throats, headaches, coughing and nausea – consistent with what some residents experienced after the February 3 train derailment that released a cocktail of hazardous chemicals into the air, water and soil." -CNN

" The Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office announced early Thursday afternoon that the evacuation order had been lifted and residents could safely return to their homes.

Twenty-two cars carrying ethanol and corn syrup derailed, and four are on fire, BNSF told NPR in a statement. About 10 of the railcars contained ethanol, an official with the railroad said. The cause of the derailment is under investigation." - NPR

"Nearly a day after a train carrying a highly flammable chemical derailed and burst into flames in a small city in southwestern Minnesota, crews were still working overnight to extinguish the flames as officials reassure residents the groundwater and air are safe.

Of the 22 cars that derailed in Raymond, Minnesota, Thursday morning, four containing ethanol ruptured and caught fire, the US Environmental Protection Agency said. Other cars carrying the substance were also at risk of releasing the chemical, the EPA said." - CNN
