Ohio Catholic pastor prays for his town struck by toxic train

Drone footage taken Feb. 6, 2023, shows a freight train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Some 50 cars from the train derailed the evening of Feb. 3 near the Pennsylvania border. No injuries were reported following the crash, which sparked a massive fire that continued to burn Feb. 4.

An Ohio Catholic priest told OSV News "it will be a long time" before he and his parishioners feel secure in their surroundings, following a train derailment that dumped toxic chemicals into the environment.
