As expected, the Ohio derailment is having dire consequences. Shouldn’t have removed that regulation that would force fraight rail companies to upgrade the brakes.

"The first reports of the derailment came before 8:45 a.m. Thursday [16 February] from the train tracks in the area of Huron River Drive between Martinsville and Haggerty roads.

"About 30 rail cars were impacted by the derailment, according to Van Buren Township officials.

"One railcar contained liquid chlorine; however, it was far away from the overturned section and was among the first cars removed from the area, according to Van Buren Township officials. There was no evidence of exposed hazardous materials. There were no reported injuries.

"Additionally, the EPA air monitoring confirmed normal air quality, and Norfolk Southern confirmed that no cars carrying hazardous materials were involved.

"Norfolk Southern typically transports industrial products, including agriculture, forest and consumer products, chemicals, and metals and construction materials."

"'We were not given a heads up on this reported action. Our priority is to always keep the people we represent safe,' U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell said. "We are making inquiries of EPA, DOT, Norfolk Southern, U.S. Ecology, the state of Ohio, and all others involved to understand what is being shipped, whether these are approved storage facilities, the implications of this decision, and how we ensure the safety of all Michigan residents.'

"Wayne County Executive Warren Evans said he and other officials should've been consulted before the delivery of toxic waste to Michigan."

The thing is: #PeteButtigieg would be in a lot of (not altogether unjustifiable) hot water if there were any adults left in the Republican Party. A properly-functioning opposition party with control of the House gavel would be raking him over the coals. That's what a well-functioning democratic government looks like.

After a week after the #OhioDerailment , it’s finally getting on the news nationally. Why it took so long for them to notice something that serious about fright train companies cutting corners to make more money.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRtHXEhB/ Trump rolled back an Obama era rule on train braking meant to keep oil tankers from exploding near communities. The Obama rule required new brakes to prevent derailments that would result in spills and explosions. Reversed by Trump. #Ohio #OhioDerailment #OhioSpill #Train #Trains #TrainDerailment

Why they aren’t upgrading the brakes to prevent a situation like this. The answer is greed as it will cut in the billions of dollars the railroad companies are raking in billions of dollars while treating the rail workers like crap while having very long freight line car lines to make more $$$.

What happen if a derailment like in Ohio happens in more populated areas? It’s time to rein in the rail road companies or perhaps nationalize the rail system.

Rail Companies Blocked Safety Rules Before #OhioDerailment WOW https://www.levernews.com/rail-companies-blocked-safety-rules-before-ohio-derailment/

This is why you should nationalize the railroads as those greedy railroad companies won't take responsibility for the disaster that let out chemicals that causes cancer.
