As a professional safety consultant trained in incident investigation and root cause analysis.

Antifar is correct. It's capitalism.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/11/ohio-train-derailment-wake-up-call


Ineffective oversight and a largely self-monitoring industry that has cut the nations rail workforce to the bone in recent years as it puts record profits over safety is responsible for the wreck, said Ron Kaminkow, an Amtrak locomotive engineer and former Norfolk Southern freight engineer.

The Palestine wreck is the tip of the iceberg and a red flag, said Kaminkow, who is secretary for the Railroad Workers United, a non-profit labor group that coordinates with the nations rail unions. If something is not done, then its going to get worse, and the next derailment could be cataclysmic.

Under the Biden administration, the transportation department has proposed a suspension of the Trump-era LNG rule allowing the substance to be transported via rail and to replace it with a new rule. The suspension was supposed to be published by June 2022, but it and the new rule have been delayed twice, and are now supposed to be final in March, Ong said.

I dont know if this is a priority for DoT, she added.

The Railroad Workers United pinned the threat on rail industry cuts to inspection staff and the elimination of safety protocol. The East Palestine train was hurried, the non-profit said in a statement, and though a cause hasnt been fully determined, it appears the train was not properly inspected.
Rail companies laid off more than 20,000 rail workers during a year period in 2018-2019, representing the biggest layoffs in rail since the Great Recession, and the nations rail force has dipped below 200,000 the lowest level ever, and down from 1 million at its peak.

They have cut the hell out of the workforce, and there are big plans to cut it further, Kaminkow said. Just because the rail companies are profitable doesnt mean theyre healthy.


Sorry to say it but Biden admin is very culpable even though Trump was as well.

What this article shows us is 2 things:

  1. Biden admin would have reversed the Trump rule but delayed it for some reason
  2. Cutting staffs lead to this as well, and Biden did press congress on this part to halt strikes to help to resolve this


What matters now is if he will respond to try and bring justice and fix the issues.

Norfolk Southern evidently can't even be convicted in the court of public opinion over this. I don't want any of you to act surprised when they skate through the actual courts as well.

Norfolk literally offered $5 to each person living in East Palestine

$5 each that is it

"sorry we nuked your town and gave you an early death... here is $5"

This is a complete non sequiter. Other countries having disasters caused by communism, fascism, or postmodern neomarxism doesn't change that this one was caused by capitalism.
