Tampering with evidence?

>The footage was “overwritten after the accident because they put the locomotive immediately back in service,”

Is this lawful? I think that this is a twofold scandal.: The rest of the footage is no longer available. The locomotive supposedly wasn‘t inspected by the NTSB.

PS: According to the article, “The camera inside the train car had 12 hours of recording space, all of which was used except for a 15-minute time span before and five minutes after the derailment.“

EDIT: According to another article, which was published subsequently, Norfolk Southern wrote a statement to push back on the claim that the derailed train was immediately put back into service. Source: globalnews

Can we bring back crucifixion when it's warranted by shit like this?

Firing squad was just brought back somewhere.

Corporations run the USA meaning the government. They make the laws, even when they get caught the fines or trouble they don’t get in mean nothing. Profits are all that matter. Share holders are even more important.

Well that’s not suspect at all

"Nothing to see here", literally.

I feel like tampering with evidence should carry the maximum penalty of the crime being investigated.

Predictable

Take everything from them. And their families scum need not reproduce.

Everyone that makes more than $1 million a year should simply be put into prison for the rest of their life.

We’ll just have to assume the worst was on there and give max penalties. Government takes over the rails and we finally get some infrastructure for high speed rails like the rest of the fucking world

Ya at least like 90%. You just can’t allow people to do this kind of shit. They will of course blame it on some low level employee. But the punishment shouldn’t really change much.

Honestly firing squad is fairly humane compared to a lot of other forms of execution. Vast majority of people are going to die quickly and relatively painlessly. I would probably choose it over most other forms of execution. Except maybe lethal injection.

Nationalize the railroads

You must be young. We did that already. Look up Conrail.

Well hell, I was gonna make $999,999.99 but not one penny more!

The fine is cheaper than the legal consequences. Congratulations, welcome to capitalism. We need a national rail system for freight AND people moving. Take that shit back from private corporations.

Brain rotted populist drivel. Even kind of funny since shareholders are bottom of the rung in the corporate and finance world

"We tried one thing, and it didn't work. Let's never try anything again."

Camera was in loco? Failure was a railcars wheel bearing. ? What could the footage even be.

Shades of Richard Nixon! A gap in the tape. Of course, Nixon went down for his gap in the tape. This CEO will walk.

People need to go to jail for this.

Capitalism works

No solution is perfect. We can revisit it in 10 years after jailing all of the hyper-rich folk has solved most of our problems and determine if we need to extend it to the $999k folks as well.

Yeah, because Amtrak isn’t a train wreck.

Amtrak is wildly successful in the areas where they own the track.

Anyone hear update about LabCorp now refusing to run doctor prescribed tests to evaluate chemicals in ppl’s blood?

Of course they did. They also had the governor burn the evidence.

And what will come of this? Nothing will come of this, because corporate owns the governments.

Is there a way to recover overwritten footage?
