    Future and current testing should be done by independent third parties and then charged to NS. Their corruption is deep. Additionally, money needs to go to the RESIDENTS and pay for their homes, relocation expenses, pain and suffering, current health issues and further health expenses.

      Worse, they won't even acknowledge them by denying liability, potentially falsifying findings or reporting findings post-alteration, and promoting their actions taken to 'rectify' their blunder - which includes the above and discounting the fact that they could have and should have taken further and/or more appropriate actions when they needed to, but failed to do so.

    All I Gotta say, is you got to get with a mushroom biologist, Paul Stamets he may have some ideas about mushrooms that feed on possibly vinyl chloride now he knows that there is a mushroom that can feed on oil. I can clean up and use the oil from oil spills to possibly better the environment within a short ass amount of time north if scientist can locate a mushroom mycelium that can consume vinyl chloride then that might be the way to go because it’s pretty hard for a human being to follow the water table where only micro beans can go into the soil let alone follow it to a water source where the mitigation is flowing so if you guys can find out quickly, this mushroom thing and spread in mass amounts the spores of my psyllium that the environment may be able to turn itself back over kind of like in Russia the mushrooms that ate all the nuclear radioactive issues what other way is possible there’s none massive amounts of earth, worms, fish, and the micro biome of the earth. The dirt, the soil, and even the rock could be destroyed by certain vinylchloride, but I’m certain there is a mushroom somewhere that somebody knows that can help to at least change the chloride into a consumable form or vice a versa just consume at all at once.

    If you think this was bad 10 years ago a crude oil train derailed and exploded killing 47 people. That derailment was Lac-Megantic and that derailment was more preventable than the East Palestine derailment. The train had one manned crews, the engine had a engine problem because of poor maintenance, and the crew didn't apply enough hand brakes. So it took y'all 10 years to realize the safety issue that was unfolding.

    If they REALLY wan to do the right thing, they divest themselves of ALL the profits form their stock buy-backs, and hand those funds over to the people actually trying to save East Palestine from these corporate murderer.

    I wouldn't say NS was deterring maintenance they had defect detectors that detected the cause of this derailment. "This derailment was preventable" Give me a reason to believe that because I can't see how it was since the defect detector was working properly and it told the crew about the hotbox and they were stopping when the derailment happened. Obviously we've missed something but so far I don't see that Norfolk Southern was neglecting safety in this accident. I only mean this accident because they are neglecting safety by trying to get one man crews.
