    Who knows could be largest economic and environmental disaster in state...... they will try to cover this up offer a couple dollars if you just sign this waiver. Government in on it too. Why isn't EPA screaming bloody murder. Probably only applies to me using drained off diesel fuel from my filters and pouring them out as "Weed Killer"

    EPA is working up to it-they’ve already put Norfolk Southern on notice-they’re going to have to eat the cleanup costs!
    There’s no covering this up-not when you have people evacuated from parts of TWO STATES! Not to mention that they have to look at the long term health side effects of people living in the area.

    The railroads union tried to go on strike because the big billionaire railroads are cutting corners. There are reports that the railroad requires no more than 90 seconds inspection per car, down from three minutes a few years ago. They have about a third fewer workers expected to cover the work of the missing workers in the same time frame. The big billionaire companies pulled in their political favors and got the president to avert a strike.
