Today marks the day that Russia launched their full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and Ukraine is doing everything in their power to fight Russia off, with the help of NATO. However, Russia continues to persist to invade, with no end of the war in sight.
On another note, the Ohio train wreck containing hazardous materials has been investigated by the EPA, and they claim that the crash definitely could have been prevented. Apparently, some plastic pellets spilled out of a container and they were knocked into the wheels of a train car, lighting the axle on fire. When the train passed a heat detector, the fire was not big enough to be detected, so by the time it was detected, it was too late. Then, the axle gave way and the train car lost control, causing a pileup of hazardous materials and metal train cars. Over 45,000 animals are dead because of the pileup, and the EPA is trying their best to quickly clean up the disaster.
Lastly, bad weather continues across the US, as over 550,000 people are still out of power in Michigan due to the heavy snow, and 100,000 more are in the dark in California because of the rare strong blizzard in the area. Hundreds of flights have been canceled as well, as the cold weather stretches from California to Maine! In some areas in the Rockies, the weather is as cold as -20! However, in the other part of the country, the south is getting scorched, with temperatures reaching record highs in over 50 areas. Some of the highest temperatures in the country are reaching up to 80 or even 85 degrees!
