That picture is about 12 miles up river. NBC is fcking fake news.

So, Trinseo, the chemical plant in Bucks County, will be repaying everyone for the water they had to buy? No. Sweet socialism for businesses, harsh capitalism for people.

Philly had the best tap water of anywhere I ever lived both in terms of test results and taste. This is such a shame :(

Why is my local news saying officials have deemed it safe to drink now?

If anyone knows anything about contaminated water it most certainly is me...

Whats it like to wake up every day and know your a fraud, and fake news?,,the citizens know,,,

Everyone gets chemical spill....

StringwallApp Face it, we're fucked. Counter-punching from the mat isn't a thing.

It’s these corporations polluting our planet- not us individual people

Have Mayor Kinney, DA Krasner and Chief Outlaw try it first.

here's the real deal. blacks in schools threaten white girls into whatever kind of sex they want. gang or otherwise.

Stock up on 5-gallon water bottles and an emergency water filtration system before shit gets wild! WOO

Police: 2 dead, 2 others injured in quadruple shooting in North PhiladelphiaBREAKING Police: 2 dead, 2 others injured in quadruple shooting in North Philadelphia DA_LarryKrasner Sooooooo in other words, a typical day in Killadelphia. Unfortunately the ‘solutions’ from city leaderships still mimics Einstein’s Definition of Insanity. And all of the wanna-be-mayors ‘say’ they will reduce crime, yet not one has detailed how thats not a repeat of what we have It was people who attempted to carjack someone who were shot. It is a shame all 4 were not killed.

Right and the air is safe to breathe in Ohio trust issues. happened two days ago. local news kinda blew it off because they followed the company press release - rather than doing any investigative reporting. which is still lacking in the local coverage. less hair spray, folks.....why should we believe them now?
