The film that predicted with chilling accuracy the catastrophe that generated a toxic cloud in Ohio

After a train derailment in the village of East Palestine, residents are living out the plot of a movie in which they acted as extras less than a year ago.

In the Netflix movie White Noise, released in November 2022, a train carrying toxic chemicals suffers an accident and derails, releasing fumes that create a toxic cloud covering an entire town in Ohio.

This chemical spill requires everyone nearby to evacuate the area and seek shelter away from the accident.

If this sounds familiar, that’s because a real case occurred last weekend with chilling similarities to those depicted in the movie.

Last February 4, a freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, carrying several chemicals, including highly toxic and dangerous vinyl chloride.

The accident caused a large fire.

Officials feared that the chemicals could cause an explosion, so they decided to conduct a controlled burn that released phosgene, leading the more than 4,700 residents of the affected town to evacuate the area.

The film is based on a 1985 book of the same name, where a similar event occurs, but the novel never identifies the location.

The Netflix feature film coincides with the tragic crash and spill and places the conflict in a town in Ohio, the same area where East Palestine is.

But the coincidences do not end there.
