SCANDAL: Norfolk Southern Unnecessarily Chemically Nuked East Palestine, NTSB Chair Confirms to Senator J.D. Vance
"This town very well may have been poisoned to facilitate the rapid movement of freight," Vance says after NTSB chair confirms Norfolk disregarded expert warnings AGAINST detonating chemical cars
Hey folks, it’s Jordan.
In a truly scandalous exchange (video below), the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) confirmed to Senator J.D. Vance that multi-billion dollar railroad company Norfolk Southern:
UNNECESSARILY/INTENTIONALLY detonated 5 cars of toxic vinyl chloride over East Palestine
DISREGARDED REPEATED warnings from Oxyvinyls, the owner of the 5 vinyl chloride cars, that there was no risk of an imminent uncontrolled explosion of the vinyl chloride cars and there was no need to detonate the cars over East Palestine.
DISREGARDED the data showing all 5 vinyl chloride car temperatures were cooling and going down—providing even less justification for blowing up the cars.
And perhaps most scandalous—and potentially criminal….
HID from Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the East Palestine fire chief that Oxyvinyls was advising against detonating the train cars.
So…we’re are the criminal charges? Where is the justice—and HELP—for the sick, poisoned residents of East Palestine and surrounding parts of Pennsylvania? We’re not letting up and will be challenging Senators Vance, Sherrod Brown and others on why they are not yet calling for a criminal investigation into Norfolk Southern.
I’m proud to say much of this was exposed and reported by our Louis DeAngelis months ago—which was made possible by our paid members funding us so we can send him to East Palestine five times. Thank you for your support and, if not yet a member, please support this important ON-THE-GROUND and investigative reporting so we can stay on this important story.
WATCH BELOW several clips from this explosive Senate NTSB hearing yesterday:
Well, just as we suspected. And just as we knew from the national transportation, safety board hearing a while back. People of East Palestine deserve justice and criminal charges.
Thank you to the Coups for speaking up for the speechless. Support GREAT journalism!!
