President Biden recently traveled to East Palestine, Ohio, to make his first appearance at the site of the disastrous train deraiIment that happened over a year ago. The accident had a catastrophic impact on the surrounding community, and many have criticized the Biden administration for its lackluster response.
As one might expect, many residents of East Palestine harbor a good deal of resentment toward Joe Biden, slamming the president for waiting so Iong to visit. In contrast, Donald Trump made it a point to visit the community shortly after the accident, providing aid and resources to impacted residents.
Recent footage captured in East Palestine shows a crowd of angry residents protesting Biden’s visit for being too little too Iate. The video shows the crowd shouting “Let’s Go Brandon” while displaying a sea of Trump memorabilia.
Conservative journalist Ben Bergquam captured the atmosphere of the event, uploading it to X. “Guys out here nice Palestinian. This is Joe Biden finally showing up more than a year Iater. And that’s the message real simple too little too late. too little too late,” he said in the video.
Remembering the Loss of Reba McEntire’s Band Members
“The tip of the plane’s wing hit a boulder on the edge of Otay Mountain, and it killed everyone on board,” McEntire told Oprah. “When we were notified, Narvel went to our pilot and told him what had happened.”
“When Narvel returned to the hotel room where I was — two or three a.m. — and said one of the planes had crashed, I asked, ‘Are they OK?’ ‘I don’t think so,’ he responded. ‘But you’re not sure?’ I asked. ‘I don’t think so,’ he replied.”
According to McEntire, they were anxious to learn the specifics of the catastrophe.
“Narvel was going room to room with a phone, ringing…” she said, pausing as tears rose. “I’m sorry – it’s been 20 years, but I don’t think it ever stops hurting,” she added. “But, I can see that chamber. Narvel is pacing back and forth.”

Friends like Vince Gill and Dolly Parton offered McEntire their bands to finish the tour, but she declined. For My Broken Heart, her next album was dedicated to the band members she had lost, and it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, selling four million copies.
On the anniversary of the tragedy, McEntire regularly pays tribute to those who died that day. She used Instagram to commemorate the crash anniversary in 2014. On the 25th anniversary of the tragedy in 2016, she took a memorable trip to San Diego and shared it with admirers on social media.

McEntire wrote, “Today is the 25th anniversary of the plane accident.” “In November last year, I returned to San Diego and took a helicopter to the accident site. I have a feeling they realize how much we miss them. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to all the families and friends.”
