Oh, OK. As long as Norfolk Southern says it's OK. I am sure they wouldn't mitigate the problem at the risk of local population, right?

Its not the first time someone tried to move through Ohio with big dreams of far off destinations only to get bogged down and make a train wreck of their life somewhere outside Cleveland.

This is not Onionesque, this is posting garbage for no good reason other than attention.

Where the hell is Jim Jordan? Should he be representing Ohio or is it like abused wrestlers, just another thing to look away from?

Understandably, we're less than likely to take their word for it.

The last train wasn't considered hazardous materials either

US railworkers were ordered to stop safety inspections altogether after the east palestine ohio derailment. Because that makes a lot of sense.

Can the government just take over the railroad industry and build and maintain the tracks and regulate the trains?

Well, that's good. Basically 10 mins from me and I don't really want to deal with poison gasses this week.

I think y’all crazy for thinking it could be perfect though. Do you realize how many trains are moving a day? Just likes cars, yes we wish there were NO accidents ever. But it’s be highly unrealistic to think that could actually happen

Derailments happen all the time, but because clicks make money the media will run with every instance they can find… they do this with literally every single topic imaginable…oh and that one article about carrots being good this year was probably paid for.

Apparently, Norfolk Southern only goes to Ohio.

Well no hazardous materials on board after the train fell over, obviously

How are all these train derailments happening now? Is anyone looking into sabotage? There’s been about 5 in just the last few weeks.

The democrat party the party of child molestation, drinking the blood of children, trafficking children, racism, corruption, spreading fake news cuz they don’t want anyone to know they’re the evil Nazi’s of today! The party of allowing men in women’s sports and not even knowing what the definition of a women is and that there’s only 2 genders. Not these mentally ill dumb fucks who think they can be whatever gender they want. So everything you said is false but go figure since you clearly are one of those brainwashed sheep. Also the democrat party the party of not giving a shit about the country you’re supposed to be in charge of. They’re owned by China. They’re hell bent on destroying our country all they want is a communist country where we the people have to rely on government handouts. Open your eyes and look at the destruction of our country in the last 2 years. All from failed bullshit whackass liberal policies. The list goes on and on but it all boils down to democrats today are fucking evil pieces of shit!!

Derailment is fairly common, but usually not major ones like this. There are several a week nationwide but most are just one or two wheel sets skipping and having to be set back on the track with a special crane truck. Not sure where this one falls on the scale.

No hazardous materials? Isn’t that what they said last time?

I’m gonna call bullshit

The local government said that about the first derailment, but I believe it even less coming directly from the company

NE Ohio resident here. The tracks are all so shitty here. I asked a repairman one day what’s up with these tracks. I had fear going over them He replied “ It‘s Ohio”.

Lmao, "it's cool this time guys, there was no waste."

Imagine the nerve of posting record profits and having to clean what seems to be one of these up every week, replacing the goods on there as well. Absolutely nuts how much they are exploiting workers for profits to be able to afford that shit this often.

Those billions in our tax that Biden gave to Ukraine could have prevented this. I guess starting WW3 is more important.
