A freight train derailed in Ohio and released a mushroom cloud of toxic chemicals—so why has the media buried this story? This week, we’re breaking down the shocking but predictable conditions that led to this accident, how rail companies have chosen profits over safety, and what regulatory changes should be made to avoid a mess like this again. Our guests are Julia Rock, reporter at The Lever; Matt Weaver, Ohio legislative director for BMWED-IBT and member of the Railroad Workers United ISC; and Julie Grant, managing editor and senior reporter for The Allegheny Front. We’re also joined by writers Alexa Lofus and Henrik Blix, who share their thoughts on alien encounters and America’s new policy of shooting random things out of the sky.Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV+.CREDITSHosted by:&nbsp;Jon StewartFeaturing, in order of appearance:&nbsp;Alexa Loftus, Henrik Blix, Matt Weaver, Julia Rock, and Julie GrantExecutive Produced by&nbsp;Jon Stewart, Brinda Adhikari, James Dixon, Chris McShane, and Richard Plepler.&nbsp;Lead Producer:&nbsp;Sophie EricksonProducers:&nbsp;Zach Goldbaum, Caity GrayAssoc.
