Just a few days ago we learned that a train with toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, in the United States, unleashing an environmental catastrophe. This time, a truck carrying hazardous materials overturned in Tucson, Arizona.
Something is happening in the United States, since there have been UFOs shot down by the US armed forces, the crash of a helicopter in Madison Alabama, to two toxic spills due to accidents related to their transportation, and all this has happened in the days that have elapsed since February.
On February 14, motorists traveling on a highway in Tucson, in the southern United States, witnessed the accident that occurred with a tanker truck owned by a commercial company, which overturned on Interstate 10 between Rita Highways and Kolb, causing the death of the driver and a leak of nitric acid in the area.
According to what the Arizona Department of Public Safety reported, this substance is considered highly dangerous to health, so residents living within a radius of 800 meters from the scene were ordered to evacuate the area. Furthermore, according to information from Guardianpeople living 1.6 kilometers away were asked to shelter in their homes for several hours.

The truck was leaking nitric acid, which is used to make ammonium nitrate, present in fertilizers and in the manufacture of plastics and dyes. According to the US federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is a colorless, highly corrosive liquid with yellow or red vapors and may have a pungent odor.
They also reported that exposure to this acid can irritate the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Also, depending on the dose, it can cause delayed pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, bronchitis, and dental erosion.
Due to everything that has happened in recent days, various conspiracy theories are circulating on the internet where people rumor that these events are somehow provoked. They even point out that the UFOs were just a smoke screen to distract people’s attention from the environmental impact of what they now call “The Ohio Chernobyl.”
To support their theories, network users claim that there is a movie on Netflix called Background noise (2022) which curiously was shot in Ohio and which seems to be a replica of what happened. In addition, a video is circulating where it is observed that the correspondent Evan Lambert, of the American television network, is arrested.
