Interestingly, Vanguard, JP Morgan, and BlackRock are the largest shareholders (owners) in Norfolk Southern. Another piece of information is that the heated up wheels on that train, which sensors picked up 20 miles away from East Palestine, should have warranted immediate stoppage of the train and inspection; however, the train operators were instructed to keep going until they got to Conway, a town further along the tracks than East Palestine. Another piece of interesting information is that small family farms of the kind that are around East Palestine account for the largest percentage of the food supply (as compared to medium sized and large farms). Maybe that derailment paid off in important ways for top asset managers such as Vanguard, BlackRock and JP Morgan?

it's so safe there isn't a wild animal within 20 miles of the derailment, except for the dead ones

[carenwebb]

A million dollars, please the railroad company owes those people a whole lot more

[dandydude]

I think it's ridiculous how are sending Ukraine billions of dollars in aid, but East Palestine has had no federal government address yet.

[benanderson]

This has got to be hell I feel for these people I really hope they find safe places to live

[austin]

Aid for turkey. Aid for Ukraine. Biden has zero air for you. America last.

[bobwoods]

This is what cutting regulations looks like.

[wintermute]

Lives will always ALWAYS come second or even third to profit unless thry are forced to do otherwise.

[RockstarAirlines]

Why do we allow Railroads to INVESTIGATE their own ACCIDENTS???

[joannkennedy]

People are now the costs of doing business

[nicholasrosebush]

That company and the federal government should pay for new houses for all of the residents. This is disgusting.

[Luifalcone]

Yea those rail companies better pay up its there fault and all of this could of been avoided

[JimmyZ]

That town is a fail, they don’t even have a health clinic

[JohnSmith-pnit]

This an ecological disaster not only for the people of East Palestine but for the whole country. These these toxins are highly lethal and will NOT go away. They will stay in a large part of the food chain here and connecting water systems for years to come. Also, what happened in East Palestine can happen to ANY community near a major rail line.

[diamondsndregs]

Are there birds and squirrels moving about as normal? I would be looking for that.

[FunlandRobot]

Isn’t there an new Adam Driver movie on Netflix that is literally about this?

[truthbrotha]

[walterhenrysilvera]

They have a great governor in control. Only some of the people will die from the exposure.
