Christian Townsend I’m sorry for your lost, congrats to your grandmother for fighting her cancer. My brother died from cancer to.

We’ve said this for years! My grandmother died of breast cancer in this very parish.

Sorry about that. I'm from western Pa and I would bore you if I cited all of my family and friends that cancer took including my paternal grandparents and godmother.

Mike Louis sorry for your losses as well but sadly we almost all of the older ppl down my dad’s street died of cancer not just my grandmother. They have been poisoning the air and earth for decades. This isn’t isolated to just this parish. It runs from Chalmette Louisiana into Texas!

@@charro028 I feel your pain and loss very deeply. We , western Pennsylvania and specifically the Greater Pittsburgh region, were basically the birthplace of American heavy industry. Paint, oil, steel, aluminum, radioactives, glass, you name it. The oil industry started here, the entire area is undermined by old abandoned coal mines, there are many superfund sites. It's like we were a giant test tube to see just how much pollution a human could endure. You have my deepest pity because I know exactly how you feel. Did I mention that my dad died just 2 years ago from brain cancer? My inlaws, mom pancreatic, dad mesothelioma, sister in law, lung, grand mother stomach. It never ends.

Mike Louis I’m not trying to compare. It’s not right. Period. Once aware of things, we as a society, should make the appropriate changes to keep our population healthy. That’s the moral thing to do. Unfortunately, tho they’d have us believe that they do have morals and values, the 1% only care about their bottom line. MONEY!!!!!

Kind of eerie seeing the cemetery right next to the plant. Kind of symbolic.

Luis RG it’s like that on both sides of the river. No place is Holy.

Thank you so much for bringing attention to this.

Now This News, I just subscribed to your channel and I'm very glad that I did. EIDT: We need to work together to reverse the damage that our government has done to the citizens that it should be protecting!

Cancer alley? I thought this was going to be a video about western Pennsylvania. I guess western Pa is Cancer Boulevard.

Yeah it’s far worse in this community in Louisiana...

I grew up near cancer alley,and left at age 28. I felt like a refuge when I moved to New England.

Please come to plaquemine Louisiana. Every weekend there is a funeral somebody died from cancer. Cows on top the levee have been diagnosed with cancer

When Ruhan Nagra, the Executive Director of University Network for Human Rights said, "People have built their homes... their LIVES here..." I could have hugged her. It is so difficult to get people to understand that NOT EVERYONE HAS THE OPTION TO JUST LEAVE. It's not about stubbornness or acting helpless, it's the fact that it's easier said than done to jump up and move to a different area. There are so many barriers in place (i.e., when their property values decreased) that make it nearly impossible to leave. So what's the solution? Just CLOSE THE PLANTS DOWN!!!

Disgusting. It should be more than enough. Keep up the fight and you will win because you must.

I think we all know that there is only 1 person we can elect in 2020 that will fight to fix issues just like this. It's far past time we let corporate greed kill our people.

"god" bless them huh, that the same "god" that allowed them to get cancer in the first place? Isn't this "god" of yours all powerful, can't it help these people? Does it choose not to help them, if so how horrible. Or is it that it can't help, if so what a weak "god". How about you thank the people actually working to help them, you know the doctors. The people that aren't fairy tales. Oh, and which "god" is this, Thor? Ra? Zeus? Yahwey? Vishnu? I mean there have been so many made up over the years I never can remember which one people are worshiping this century.

What many people don’t know, is that even though the EPA administrator is given a cabinet rank, the department itself isn’t actually even an official cabinet department. That’s why they’re able to get away with all this madness. It’s an independent agency meaning that the kinds of rules and regulations imposed on other departments (education, treasury, homeland security, housing, etc.) don’t necessarily apply to them. Even though the administrator is appointed by the President and approved by Congress, and even though the department is “constitutionally” apart of the executive branch, the agency is still isn’t apart of the executive office which means they are independent of Presidential control.

Profits > People = The American Way

Everyone share this

How about we see who the true intimidated ones are? The ones that are purposely murdering ppl and are trying to hide it by lies so they don’t get caught or get the blame? Or the ppl that are concerned enough to find out what the real problem is and actually do something about it?

lets not forget about plastic food packaging ( especially those where you boil with veggies), sitting in freeway rushour traffic, widespread neighborhood pesticide use, pesticide use on fruits and veggies from the grocery store. humans are bombarded everyday with hazardous chemicals

What about the people that work in those places you would think they get cancer too.

Bobby Harper my grandmother didn’t smoke or drink and she died of breast cancer right there in that parish. Imbecile.

Hopefully not with religion; all that does is take away your critical thinking and hurts any cause.
