Is East Palestine the new Chernobyl!

just saw that video reported the news. these sensors have been around for decades, my bet is that the Railroad has been slacking on maintenance and Norfolk Southern has a long lobbying history getting over on the Dept of Transportation by throwing cash at them for lax regulation.



Norfolk Southern has a lot to explain here. sensor failures, operators not being observant. don't these trains have rear-view mirrors? they should have cameras as well. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

If there indeed was an equipment problem, the defect detector should have caught it and sent a warning to the train crew. Would be kind of difficult to determine after the intense flames immersed the equipment.

This says it all. Fuck Senile Biden and all the worthless Democrats who don't care about these people

The Mayor of East Palestine DID decide to take questions at the “open house” last night.

Resident: Where’s Pete Buttigieg? Where’s he at?

Mayor: I don’t know. Your guess is as good as me. Yesterday was the first time I heard anything from the White House

Completely ignored by Buttplug Pete and the Dementia Addled idiot who is too busy shitting himself in the White House

At this point, there is no proof that the main culprit was the brakes, rather than the axles or some other part(s) of the undercarriage, track erosion, sensor failures or human error. Nor is there any proof that ECP (electronically controlled pneumatic) brakes would have prevented the accident.

And even MORE proof that Senile Biden's EPA is LYING to the people of East Palestine.

THIS WATER IS INSANELY CONTAMINATED.

Oh my, now ButtPlug Pete is trying to play down the East Palestine disaster by complaining that people are paying too much attention to East Palestine and says there are 1,000 cases of a train derailing a year

Guess who's job it is to fix that, Pete!

Vance's point is where the Fuck is the EPA testing the water?


Jesse Watters just mentioned that not only didn't the EPA do any testing before telling people it was safe but that the railroad did the testing by hiring out some contractor to do it. also he reported these contractors are going to people's homes to test but requiring people to sign a release of liability. this is what happens when the railroad covers its ass while the EPA does nothing.

These people should sign NOTHING and not accept a penny in restitution. I heard on the radio NS is offering $1000 to affected families, that’ll cover about 3 minutes of chemo.

Bootyplug is a fucking joke, he has no experience with transportation and infrastructure at all, or as an effective manager. The one and only reason he has the job he does is because he takes it in the ass. That’s what the country has come to, and it’s a fucking shame.
