NTSB Report…East Palestine
An initial early report is out by the NTSB about the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Was it caused by deregulation as many bobbleheads in the media have suggested? Was it caused by a failure to implement common sense safety regulations? Was it simply an unavoidable accident caused by a perfect storm of railcar failures that could not have been anticipated?
The answer to all of these questions is a resounding “No.” The data was there for the train to be stopped and inspected BEFORE the catastrophic failure occurred.
