    I guess the EPA was asked at the press conference "so you're doing testing to figure out if it's safe to return, can you clarify what you're testing for?" and the EPA guy just turns to the rail company guy for assurance as he says "vinyl chloride right? yeah, vinyl chloride" or something like that .

    The "mandatory evacuation" was just lifted, much to the convenience of the railroad, since they don't have to compensate anyone for forcibly being out of their homes. Of course, neither the rail company nor government is willing or able to confirm that it actually is safe to return.
