Norfolk Southern suing chemical, rail car companies over East Palestine derailment cleanup
In a filing in Ohio federal court last week, Norfolk Southern said companies, including petroleum subsidiary Dow Chemical and tank car businesses, should help pay for the cleanup.
They are alleging what amounts to contributory negligence, so let's see their case.
It is all on Norfolk Southern.
Absent a case for contributory negligence, I agree. Rational minds await more information. I don't understand this Lynch mentality.
NS was notified about the axle on fire and radioed to keep going anyway.
NS is who decided to blow up those cars thinking railway traffic can continue faster. For the $ and no regard to safety.
The Conway rail yard was relatively close.... they could have coasted there, take a far rail set and put out the fire.
First responders are now found to have benzene related illnesses. But NS still says those living there are completely safe.
You are correct.
