the disastrous train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, officials in Maine have been collecting data to see what impacts — if any — the plume of smoke and chemicals will have on air quality in the New England area. Wind patterns in and around New England often travel from west to east and many states are located downwind of Ohio, which usually means whatever pollutants Ohio gets, most of New England could eventually receive as well. "We have been often referred to, euphemistically, as the exhaust pipe for the nation because the way typical weather patterns move across the country, and if there’s any kind of pollution event that occurs elsewhere, it eventually finds its way to the East Coast, and more often than not, because of the way weather systems move in this area of the country, we get the last of it before it exits into the Maritimes of Canada or the Atlantic Ocean," said Andy Johnson, director of the air quality assessment division for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.Smoke and flames rise after the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, United States.CREDIT: US Environmental Protection Agency / Handout/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images RELATED: What we know about the Ohio train derailmentBut will a train derailment and subsequent chemical smoke from hundreds of miles away have the capability of reaching as far east as Maine?

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - It’s been more than half a century since Mattel created its Hot Wheels franchise, and for one super-collector in Gaithersburg, Maryland the fascination with the toys started at a young age.By day, Bruce Pascal is a commercial real estate agent in the nation’s capital.By night, he’s a Hot Wheels hobbyist with more than seven thousand items in his collection. "To put it mildly, I’m obsessed with Hot Wheels," Pascal said.At 7 years old, he got his first Hot Wheel in 1968 — the same year they were created. Fifty-five years later he’s still buying them."My mother gave me back my Hot Wheels as a kid I played with in 1999," Pascal said. "I was with a buddy of mine, and he said, ‘I’ll give you $200 for him.’ I was like, ‘oh, these have value?’"From there, his love for the tiny and intricate toys consumed him."Nothing's better than collecting something you have a connection with and the fact that I’m collecting my childhood toys, it's kind of fun," Pascal said. One of his prized possessions is a 1913 Model T that was used as inspiration for Mattel."In 1964, this Model T was entered into the Grand National Roadster Show in California.
