Ping!

Did Norfolk Southern neglect safety protocols in pursuit of DEI and ESG initiatives?

So racial preferences hiring may have resulted in incompetent unqualified employees allowing the overheated wheel bearing. It was burning for nearly 45 minutes and nothing was done.

No wonder they are trying so hard to pin this on Trump and reg changes that had NO impact on this accident!

It it turns out to be operator error or incompetence, then will be interesting if they can make the connection to recent hires and promotions based on DEI.

Many American CEOs have gone woke-stupid.

Interesting that a wheel bearing failure was the cause. Wonder what the main causes of derailments are, or possibly the main cause of failure is a track problem, or one train hitting another, or bad information to the engineer, or a negligent engineer.

I picture the local people wanting to get all the money they can via lawsuit.

Norfolk Southern is a Woke Corporation. That's why the DementiaJoe Regime and the MSM will sweep all this down the memory hole

Unless, of course, the bearing failure was on a car that was owned by a company in a Red State (Ohio/Indiana?), and/or Trump voters.

Norfolk Southern was just going too fast transporting extremely hazardous materials in a densely populated area.....

Controlled burn ?

Wasn’t aware it was legal to pour vinyl chloride into an open pit and burn it period, controlled or not.

Spit.

EPA doesn’t function as advertised.

It doesn’t protect our enviroment, it just chokes the life out of commerce.

It’s a domestic terrorist cartel imho.

Controlled burn ?,
of vinyl chloride ?

Without so much as an environmental impact study and statement or even a catalyctic converter much less smoke stack scrubber.

But they can demand my Calif vehicle emits less than so many parts per million.

Spit
Spit
Spit.

This seems to indicate that this was a disaster that could’ve been avoided with proper safety protocols in place.

Woah. The Substack writer did some jackassin’. Now he needs to fish.

What are the “proper safety protocols” that had they been in place, could have averted the derailment?

We don’t know because he never states.

Just jackassin’.
