With concerns of a potential explosion connected to the train derailment in Columbiana County, a "controlled release" of chemicals inside the railroad cars has begun on Monday afternoon.
It came as Gov. Mike DeWine said the contents of five rail cars are “currently unstable and could potentially explode, causing deadly disbursement of shrapnel and toxic fumes.”
The apparent release occurred around 4:30 p.m., with residents and 3News reporters reporting a large explosion along with a massive plum of smoke billowing to the sky.
So how does the controlled release work? Scott Deutsch, an official with the Norfolk Southern Railroad, said it's a process that could take one to three hours.
Deutsch said it begins by creating a small hole in the tank car.
“This will allow the material to come out of the tank car," the official explained. "It will go into a pit and trench that we have dug and set up for this operation. Inside that trench will be flares lining that trench that then will light off the material.”
Just over an hour into the controlled release, smoke still covered the skies in Columbiana County.

Authorities in Uniontown confirm the victims were found inside a home within the 13000 block of Carnation Avenue Northwest in Lake Township. Officers located the bodies while performing a welfare check just after 7:30 p.m.
