Evacuations after Train Derailment

In Paulsboro, New Jersey, officials have stopped working at the site of last week's train derailment after unsafe chemical levels were found in the air. Residents of Paulsboro were ordered to stay inside and schools were closed after monitors detected high levels of vinyl chloride on Monday. Nearly a hundred residents within a twelve block radius have been evacuated as workers try to remove the chemicals from the tanker car. Since Friday people have reported breathing issues and a dozen have gone to the hospital. The precautionary evacuations and shelter-in-place orders will likely remain in effect through early this week.
