The derailment of a train carrying hazardous chemicals in Ohio may be even more dangerous than the public has been told.
State officials initially focused on the release of vinyl chloride after 50 cars of a Norfolk Southern Railroad train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3, according to ABC News.
Phosgene and hydrogen chloride were also released from the train derailment, hazardous substances that led authorities to order evacuations within one mile of the crash site.

Authorities arranged for the blasting of some affected train cars — a tactic to allow for a controlled burn of the substances.
