Ohio toxic train wreck: Norfolk Southern to appear before senators - BBC News

One of the biggest train operators in the US, Norfolk Southern, will appear before a panel of senators today in a hearing over the derailment of one of its trains in East Palestine, Ohio.

11 of the 38 cars involved in the incident on 3 February were carrying toxic waste, which caught fire shortly after they came off the tracks. 

Residents in the area have voiced their concerns about environmental effects of the incident in which the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said took the life of 45,000 aquatic animals.

It’s a regional environmental disaster- poor NY AND PA

Norfolk southern needs to be held accountable

The senators do nothing, it's a promotional show that the system works.

[AGoodGiggle]

They already line the Senator's and Governor's pockets. Nothing will happen because our government prioritizes corporate interests instead of representing the people that vote them in.

Wonder if the employee who just died was deposed already - or if what was in his mind went with him 🤔
The timing

It was a great disaster and the Railroad is going to get away with it, cutting more jobs and sensors, they don't work as we have seen. Good morning and great day to you.

American archaic infrastructure. Maybe America should blame the Chinese for being the world's leaders in infrastructure and fast speed rail. Maybe America should blame the Japanese for having bullet trains in 1964 when The Beatles released their first record album. How backward? 59 years backward.

[MrPerforations]

watched a declassified video about the Tsar bomb, they just put it on a normal train and then a normal truck, yep,

[johnelliott]

Putting sensory equipment that we seen should have worked didn't, so why add more?💥🔥
