“Conservative Investigation Uncovers Startling Evidence of Norfolk Southern Derailment 40 Minutes Before Disaster”
As the shocking video released by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette shows, the Norfolk Southern train had axles on fire miles before the February 3rd derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. The photo, with a timestamp, suggests that the issue was present at least 40 minutes before the accident. With the presence of carcinogenic chemicals, such as vinyl chloride, in the derailed train, the impact of the derailment is being felt even today, with dead wildlife turning up in local creeks, rivers, and eventually the Ohio River.
The cause of the derailment is still under investigation, with The Gateway Pundit releasing more articles surrounding the prevention of such accidents. Questions have been raised about the hot-box detectors that should have alerted the crew to the issue and if it was done in a timely manner. Furthermore, the Secretary of the National Transportation Safety Board, Pete Buttigieg, has been relatively quiet, with his first Tweet about the incident coming out 10 days after it occurred.
It is clear that this tragedy could have been prevented if the sensors had sounded off in time and the crew had been alerted to the problem. We must continue to ask questions and hold those responsible accountable in order to prevent such accidents from happening again.
