Judge temporarily blocks Clairton City School District’s plan to put charter students on PRT buses An Allegheny County judge ruled that the Clairton City School District cannot replace yellow bus service with Pittsburgh Regional Transit passes for charter school students, at least for now.

Wait how were they planning to do this? Did they just not want to transport charter school students? Were they planning on boosting local PRT service or changing routes to accommodate students, it just makes it a PRT problem? #Clairton #PRT #schoolbus

I love Pittsburgh. The sense of community sometimes gets lost in the day to day but when it's needed it's still there. Every time there is a major incident like this it's always followed up by stories of how the whole region pulled together. I miss living there […]

Headline from Der Spiegel about a disaster at U.S. Steel's Clairton Plant.

BBC: Two dead and 10 injured in Pennsylvania steel plant explosion

From France: Two workers were killed and ten others injured after multiple explosions rocked the US Steel Clairton Coke Works plant near Pittsburgh on Monday, officials said, as search-and-rescue operations continued at the site.

It's amazing for me to see the factory that I literally grew up across the river from — and tbh, which probably gave me asthma — making world headlines. And for the most terrible possible reasons.

I'm thinking about the family members who lost loved ones, and […]

Pleased to see officials responded swiftly

Gov Josh Shapiro is terrific!

I haven't been impressed with Sen Fetterman of late, but this is exactly the kind of calamity he relates & responds to.

Glad to see he showed up to help. WTG John!

Hoping everyone at the #Clairton works is OK. Didn't hear anything in Braddock. The Nippon investments in the Mon Valley works cannot come soon enough.

One person confirmed dead, dozens are injured. ATF is mobilizing to the scene and Allegheny County Emergency Management is operating as a level 3 mass causality incident (MCI) in addition to local resources.
