    1. This is an origin story. They aren’t ninjas yet, they’re just plain turtles. The scene where Master Splinter finds them is coming soon.

    2. @William H Republican governor of Kentucky pardoned hundreds of violent criminals and pedophiles in his last days in office when he lost re-election to a democrat.

    1. No Body We NEED MORE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT Spending to protect our country from stuff like this ! Our countries under attack! Build another aircraft carrier call the bootlickers let’s cut more social spending and give Boeing and our defense contractors more tax breaks and ammo to fight infrastructure Decay!

    1. F*CK tRump Ha’s are here “Trump is impeached” Nope🤣 There is a constitutional requirement for “High Crimes and Misdemeanours” which is why Pelosi DID NOT SUBMIT THE IMPEACHMENT🤣. It is there to stop assholes making stuff up to impeach. Dem leaders may very well have made Trump a martyr without even submitting the damned impeachment. With leadership like that, Democrats better be damned well ready with the Vaseline come 2020 😎

    2. F*CK tRump Ha’s are here when you dumb kids gonna realize that your collage professors are mostly Democrat and they are making millions and saying oh everything should be government controlled while they take in big paper lmao

    1. Teresa Young, Zombie Whisperer We NEED MORE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT Spending to protect our country from stuff like this ! Our countries under attack!

  1. Instead of putting money towards rebuilding and infrastructure we again increase our already out standing military budget…

    1. Renas Dupont looks as if you folks can’t get the impeachment out of your minds as if God in flesh Trump has any idea about this toxic green goo situation, yet blame the windmills for dead birds. As if there are no groups out there working on fixing the bird issue. How you got so much love for the birds yet don’t believe or care anything about climate change? And people just eat this stuff up..smh

  2. This is truly disturbing! yeah…I wouldn’t be trusting the Michigan DOE/EPA for anything after the never ending Flint shitshow. Talk about a double talk no answer bullshit interview. This is what happens when you let businesses regulate themselves!

    1. Bobbi Garcia wow are you mentally challenged, Michigan has a Democratic governor and that city is democratic controlled. Derp derp

    2. @Marcos Filho Call the mayor, governor, senators, congressmen….not the Federal govt’s responsibility to get involved in local state responsibilities….

    3. @Ducati Dave Democrats can be for environmental protections all they want but how are they going to enforce it when they have strangled all business and capital to the point they had to file for bankruptcy? Anyone with with any money or sense has long since fled detroit and flint. Hence local government can’t afford to keep the street lights on let alone enforce environmental protections, or upgrade lead pipes.

    4. @MRL Bless your poor soul, I feel such pity for all you leftist malcontent leeches that live off us working people’s backs, filled with such Hate, violence and racism. What a shame.

  3. Nice canned answers. What about sanctioning and tearing down the offending business? This is a major issue. A big offence and unchecked risk towards the local residents.

    1. Massimo O’Kissed because that’s literally socialism. You fine the company proportionally to it’s worth so it hurts and make the cost outweigh the risk.

    2. the owner of the business has been in prison for over a year, and the business has been shut down since 2016. there was a massive cleanup at the time because the company was cited for over 5000 containers of hazardous waste that was improperly stored. who ever was responsible for the clean up obviously did a horrible job and they should be the ones responsible now.

  4. Horrible reporting how about someone asks why are toxic chemicals pouring out of the side of the highway? Trash journalism

  5. Soft as fuq interview!! What’s the danger to animals and people? We’ve found no risks if you don’t touch or drink it……………………..
    What about the animals people?
    But, they are VERY concerned for public safety. Just gave zero fuq’s about the rest of the environment and all other lifeforms living within said environment….FFS!!

    1. I think “Cancer causing” is enough danger tbh, you wouldn’t say “This is cancer causing, it gives you cancer”

  6. You can’t hold a company responsible as they will just claim bankruptcy is the damage is significant…Owners should be held personally responsible and criminally…Also anyone responsible for containment…

    1. Jesus are you really that stupid if they find the owners will fully known to have leaked this they will be tried and sent to prison
      If they have a leaking tank they didn’t know about they may be responsible for the cleanup

    2. @snoop alert they are lined up to live off of someone else! Mainly our tax dollars, but also by any possible means. SMH

  7. Why haven’t you told us the name of the company, sounds like a cover up. Who is this woman here to cover it up. And since when did EPA care ???? Weak interview

    1. the business has been closed since 2016, inspectors found over 5000 containers of hazardous waste that was improperly stored and mislabeled so there was a massive cleanup in 2016 and I think the owner went to prison. whoever was responsible for the “massive cleanup” obviously missed some things.

    2. @Heather or they never did the job properly in the first place, not unheard of for businesses that are suppose to cleanup, to end up dumping the problems elsewhere.

  8. This is truly outrageous, and as usual nobody’s held responsible. Greatest country in the world, yeah right. Big business runs everything even our destruction.

  9. Seems to be connected to a nearby business… No facts reporting. For ducks sake get some thinking ppl reporting. #Braindead

    1. @Jewish Tryhard When people now need to have two jobs to make ends meet.. and even that isn’t enough ( when previously one salary was enough to support a family of four ).. and with a homeless community thriving, together with a infrastructure thats crumbling and a healthcare system that puts profits before people… …I’d say that justifies to question USA’s status across the world.

  10. Trump welcomes🚀🚀🚀🚀 N Korea to launch ICBM into Michigan
    Promises to remove sanctions on any successful HIT

  11. It happened in Madison Heights, Michigan, not Detroit. Stop blaming everything on Detroit. I-696 doesn’t run through Detroit. Misleading title. “Authorities blocked sections of the highway in Madison Park, a Detroit suburb, while hazardous material cleanup crews worked to contain and remove the material.” This is from EcoWatch.
