- newZWhoDis 4y agoWhich oddly enough was filmed in the town this happened in… the universe is weird.
- 0x008 4y agoOh wow. Well that probably means it happened before?
- yabones 4y agoLots of people saw this coming. This isn't a surprise, but it is horrifying. The safety concerns were a large part of the railroad workers union's complaints a few months ago, which was squashed by the US gov. All the corners have been cut to extract more value for shareholders, and there's nothing left to squeeze out.
- saul_goodman 4y agoYea, oddly this has not yet bubbled to the surface of this story. Your government at work!

- penneyd 4y agoI take it that nobody is thinking sabotage?
- micromacrofoot 4y agoI thought that there were just some people from the town that were extras and it was filmed elsewhere in Ohio?
- time_to_smile 4y agoWhich is based on the famous Don Delillo novel. This reads a bit like describing LotR as "that movie with Viggo Mortensen".
- 0x008 4y agoYes that is right. Forgive me, but don delillo is not so famous outside of the English speaking world so I did not think of mentioning it, although I have seen his name in the end credits.
- 1970-01-01 4y agoWhite Noise had several plots over chapters. The plume scenes were a fantastic balance of hilarious and scary: Summary: Chapter 21 Jack finds Heinrich on the roof, looking through a pair of binoculars at a distant black cloud of smoke. Heinrich informs Jack that a train car has been derailed. Later, they both return to watch the cloud. Heinrich says that the burning chemical in the air is Nyodene Derivative, or Nyodene D., a toxic substance that causes lumps in rats. The radio has already listed nausea, skin irritation, and sweaty palms as potential symptoms of exposure. Jack tries to reassure Heinrich that the smoke won’t come toward them and continues to act comfortable and indifferent. He sits down to pay the bills, even as rumors of increasing danger come in over the radio and phone. Sirens begin to blare through the neighborhood, but Jack declares that such things can’t happen in a town like theirs. New symptoms are reported on the radio, and the cloud is given a new name: the airborne toxic event. Heinrich tries to get his father to acknowledge the danger, but Jack declares that he is a college professor, not to mention the chair of a department, and can’t imagine someone like him fleeing something like an airborne toxic event. The family anxiously gathers for dinner as the air raid warnings grow closer. https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/whitenoise/section7/ https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/whitenoise/section7/ https://www.wlwt.com/article/ohio-train-derailment-white-noise-movie-plot-real-life/42859167 https://www.wlwt.com/article/ohio-train-derailment-white-noi... https://twitter.com/Marfoogle/status/1625323668397256704 https://twitter.com/Marfoogle/status/1625323668397256704
