On Tuesday, 19 News Digital Anchor Dan DeRoos had a specific question for the Ohio Governor at his news conference.
Who was monitoring the area where any smoke or soot would have come down after the controlled burn last week 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 miles away?His reply was less than reassuring for the people who live outside of the 1-mile zone nearest the crash site that is being constantly monitored. “Let me see if we have someone who can, if we have someone who can answer that. I don’t think there’s anyone here who’s volunteering,” DeWine replied and members of his team chuckled. “Look what we’re trying to do is be very very careful, follow what the science is. I don’t know what the science is in regard to that but we’ll try to get you an answer. If we can’t get it today we’ll try to get you an answer later.
19 News has again asked the EPA what was in the air when readings elevated quickly Wednesday morning because of the winds.
