Film to real life: East Palestine derailment reflects Ohio movie

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio (WKBN) — Often art imitates life, but sometimes the opposite can happen. That was the case for an East Palestine man who was in a recent movie that’s eerily similar to the train derailment.

When Ben Ratner signed up to be an extra in “White Noise” — a movie about a train accident that caused a chemical leak — he never thought it would become his reality…

It’s based on a 1985 novel:

“White Noise is a 1985 novel by American author Don DeLillo. A significant entry in the canon of postmodern literature, White Noise tells the story of a small-town college professor whose suburban routine is shattered when a train crash results in a massive chemical spill.”

In the book it takes place in a fictional suburb called “Blacksmith”:

“The exact geographical setting of White Noise is unidentified, but elements of the novel evoke the Midwestern United States, especially the Rust Belt and Upper Midwest. The fictional Iron City shares its name with the Pittsburgh beer company of the same name. Critic John Pistelli wrote that a Midwestern setting was “thematically appropriate to the novel’s concern with the vanishing of labor and laboring know-how.””
