The newscaster Jose looks like he could play a role as Al Bundys brother haha
Just two trains dangerously run not enough anymore? You had to add to the destruction with three total? Another greedy, corrupt company!
Thanks Trump, for removing ALL the safety laws that would have prevented this! Thanks Trump lovers for refusing to let Biden take action to prevent it from happening again!
I hope the crew is okay after the accident of these 3 trains
This could be a infrastructure attack and it may have been more intentional.
Its totally an accident guys. No way they would do it on purpose. No way these companies want cheeper labor obtainable through dismantling america.
Americans are whipped.
Clowns. How do they possibly not know where every train is and what they are doing all the time? Why wouldn’t they have tracking screens on the trains to see where other ones were and if they were stopped? Idiocy.
Seems like this problem is getting worse… remember east palestine
Remember, most trains make it to and from safely. Many trains are on the rails their whole working life, so this is one of the few. Be safe
Where in Pennsylvania ???
CEO answered with a word soup 😂 of course they’re doing absolutely nothing
First World countries don’t have this problem not on this scale.
I’m glad we’re getting our rails up to date.
°~•.☆.•~°
I wonder if people are aware of the degree of negligence that’s required to cause a multi-train pileup
Guys this is completely normal. They are just practicing Penn Central’s traditions…
Norfolk- “Everything is fine here nothing to see”
เอาล่ะเราจะเข้าไปช่วยให้สหรัฐหลุดพ้นจากกับดักหนี้สินช่วยให้เราออกจากประเทศนี้เราจะเดินทางไปที่ออสเตรเลียก่อนเมื่อเราสร้างพีระมิดสำเร็จแล้วเราจะเข้าไปบริหารโครงสร้างประเทศสหรัฐ
Always remember, they are never required to tell the public the truth. Question everything, you’ll live longer…
Don’t stay out go find out they all lie
And they used to be a respected railroad
การที่เราจะแก้ไขหนี้สินให้สหรัฐเราต้องเข้าไปดูโครงสร้างในด้านต่างๆและสังคมและหลายๆอย่างเพื่อมาเป็นองค์ประกอบสติปัญญาความคิดและจินตนาการของตัวเราแล้วเราจะแก้ไขหนี้สินของสหรัฐได้อย่างรวดเร็วและที่สำคัญต้องว่างเว้นพรรคการเมืองและตำแหน่งประธานาธิบดีไว้ชั่วคราวก่อนเพื่อให้ประชาชนเป็นน้ำหนึ่งใจเดียวกันเกิดความสามัคคีกันแล้วเราจะแก้ไขหนี้สินสหรัฐได้อย่างรวดเร็ว
What text is that? Thailand?
Remember, higher education is not important or priority in the USA. You can just derpy derp through your day and look around like a clueless dope when you can’t find a doctor or dentist within 100 miles of where you exist. Where are all the engineers? Oh that’s right, they left for other countries that invest in infrastructure.
3 trains? The chances of that happening accidentally….nearly zero. Accident…not.
Oh, the anniversary of New Palestine derailment and subsequent burning of toxic chemicals…just last week…hugh…yeah…
The last Administration gutted railroad safety. We had rules put in place in 2015 requiring railroads to operate at higher security standards particularly trains carrying hazardous materials. It’s no surprise that once those rules were gutted we have an increase railroad accidents.
There are about 1500 large truck accidents every day. Resulting in about 3500 deaths a year.
Literally BNSF is under investigation for ignoring safety reps reports to keep their bonuses, this then caused them to fire their safety rep for reporting this to the NTSB because it’s not right to put money before the public and engineers safety. I’ve personally been around multiple derailments in my own home town, which has never happened growing up. This is a fact, not assumption.
I’m most curious what happened that led to the moving train be routed to the same tracks as the stopped train.
Big booty Lat inas 🙂
Always by a river 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It’s such a comprehensive approach that he can’t mention one single specific thing? Typical political type response, something that sounds good on the surface but doesn’t actually say anything at all.
Do the corporations profit from derailing their trains? How else could any sane person explain this negligence
All the railroad companies have derailments everyday. Just NS makes the spotlight since ohio
😱😱😱
You know who we never hear from or about in these?
The actual engineers.
When your train breaks down on the track, I wonder. Can they use their cell phones to call the train’s 911 folks to let them know that there’s a train on the track broken down and so that they know To contact an oncoming train to stop
All trains in NA, have a radio that can call a dispatcher. Track in high density rail traffic use signals that display a ‘stop’ signal to any train that approaches an occupied section of track. In low traffic areas, or non mainline track call a dispatcher for permission to enter a section of ‘dark’ track. A third method is a more advanced digital system that keeps track of trains speed and position and can automatically and progressively slow and stop a train as it approaches a stopped train. The latter isn’t fully functional everywhere and is a technology in progress. The most common way for collisions to still occur are not seeing a ‘stop’ signal, or to move onto a mainline block assuming a train has passed when actually it was stopped for some other reason, such as a hot bearing, or loss of brake pressure. Because of the weight, low friction, and momentum, line of sight stopping distance at track speed may not be sufficient time to avoid collision. Each of the safety systems, procedures, and status will be checked, investigated, and a report with recommendations will be made. It can take several months for a final report on exactly how this collision occurred. In the mean time, the track and equipment will be cleared and repaired and put back into service as soon as possible.
@@mikew.to1 wow.
“A great country”
They wanted to do something special for the East Palestine anniversary
DEI hired train drivers?
*IM LITERALLY LISTENING TO A PODCAST* about the LAST Norfolk Southern derailment…
2024 an they still can’t figure this out!! But they will have us in electric cars that we can’t even control soon🤡🤡 no thanks 💩
Their Words are weak when #ActionsSpeak 🤨
“Continous improvement process”? We’ve been doing rail for over 100 years for God’s sake!!! If you’re still improving how to avoid derailments, then you have learned nothing. Maybe my two year old Thomas the Train expert can help you.

Higher ups at Norfolk Southern need to go to prison!
Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg, as of January 2021, the secretary receives an annual salary of $221,400.
“Everybody stay out of the area….” Yeah, so nobody can figure out that this ‘harmless’ train wreck is actually an ecological nightmare. Even if – IF- this truly was a minor incident, it’s only a matter of time before NS has a wreck that is far, far more grave.
Fine them. Not the company, THE ONES RUNNING IT. Nothing gets the attention of the rich like being forced to part with their precious money.
As a (model) railroad construction and operation expert ( when i was 10), this could have been prevented by ensuring all the plastic connectors were thoroughly snapped in place.
Does anyone find it creepy that there are so many derailments as of late?
Chemicals
From the 1st train is leaking into the river ! And no danger to the public ?
What type of pellets were released in the water? Another Biden transportation accident. Fertilizer pellets? Anhydrous Amonia? Phosphate? All hazards. Just pellets don’t cut it. This is mainstream media for you. What happened to real journalists?
Agenda 2030 in full swing. Contaminate our water and food supplies so we have to depend on the government
A review of safety data by NBC News showed that from 2018 to 2022, Norfolk Southern averaged 0.88 accidents per million miles, which is slightly above the average of the country’s six other Class-I freight railroads over the same period.
This could have been bad, so glad everyone is okay this time.
Ya think? Its beyond stupid at this point!!!!
How does this bs happen in the worlds richest country? What a joke.
Not trying to be all conspiracy like but wouldn’t the lead loco ( the one in the water) most likely have broken headlights after mashing into a parked train?
What they probably aren’t saying: we’re short handed, and the individuals we do have are not only spread thin, but also lack on the job experience and working long hours. This probably won’t be your last incident, but one of many until we get our employees numbers up and get them seasoned.
Where were the dispatchers?
That ceo should be thrown in jail.
1 year later.. the company out do itself with 3 trains
That first guy’s name’s Don King lol
I really think every employee needs a iq test and a job competency test.
Don’t worry, President Biden will be there in two years
Don’t worry Mayor Pete is on top of transportation issues in our country.
Imagine that another train accident… Hmm I wonder where our transportation secretary is? Is he on another paternity leave, or is he just on vacation this time? This is what identity politics brings you. Stop hiring people because they check the DEI box. Hire for experience and actual qualifications.
I think I’m going to have trouble breathing in a month or so I wonder if I could get a good ambulance chaser maybe get a few bucks or something
🤔🤔
On todays episode of plainley difficult…
REGULATE THE RAILROADS AND AIRLINES AGAIN!
Frightening 😮
Are there trains and infrastructure properly maintained?
Think if they had tra8ns like in China!
Guess AI runs them trains now. That pretty accurate place and 3 trains. This was done intentionally.
Cut safety. Become unsafe .
Good ol journalism, you walk down the street is east Palestine, ask a softball question and wrap out the news spot with a local from PA. Why even report on it. Like a fluff piece about diesel fuel in a towns river and a 3 train wreck. Everyone’s smiling. It’s weird.
Inexcusable at this point, shame on Norfolk Southern…….
he hasnt done $hit… RR IS CORRUPT
New Palestine still waiting for assistance. Biden will have to visit as a private citizen.
Looks like it is time for the U.S. to look towards China for rebuilding our national rail system. And our highway infrastructure also.
Remember when brain dead lunies where blaming these things on the Democrat’s 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
” ..its a continuous improvement process”
Translation: ” We’re going to continue business as normal and when future derailments happen, we will pay some money, act concerned and say sorry. Its what we do”
Another derailment next to a very important water supply for Americans. Coincidence?
Trump did that!
Nothing lots of money can’t fix.
I don’t want to hear your lies Alan Shaw!
Quit cutting crews.
Quit cutting jobs. Things like this wouldn’t happen, or would be waaaayyy less likely.
Norfolk south is like the oldest RR company in the country, the first non-steam trains, and they were basically controlled by JP Morgan, fishy all over. The ‘East Palestine’ “accident” came months before the new record conflict in Palestine. Trust nothing to be random in this world, where greedy men wear black and keep themselves hidden
J.B.= Jachin, Boaz, the freemasonic pillars gateway. D.T.= delta triangle, the pyramid, all seeing eye, the cult itself. One is obvious evil, but merely a gateway to the true evil that veils itself in light. This is all very procedural.
These three trains derailed around the third day of the third month. Nearby is a modern megalith park, acting as portals, in an energetically significant area assumably. Also nearby are the towns of Bethlehem and Nazareth. The 3 are the solar religion trinity, the christ trinity, and the darker versions of a solar cult (Is-ra-el=Isis, ra, enlil=cult of dark ishtar, the religion of the secret elites).
The israeli towns are the places where rome sacked the old places and then saw the rise of their own prophet, the christ. From the ruins of the old (palestine), destroyed by Rome (the west,israel), arises a new false prophet. This ritual is meant to empower Babylon over palestine (near the anniversary of East Palestine disaster, which was right before the new Palestine war), and to see the rise of a false prophet, who could be our own blonde “bright” lucifer, D.T. The bible says that the harlot in babylon will toil, and will be slain by the beast himself, and that new beast is the deciever. Obama-biden= the harlot, D.T.= the new beast, bright deciever. People, keep your eyes open and your trust guarded closely.
Hm this seems like this happened last year. Huh
Wonder if Kimble got away!?
So this is going to happen every year now? What is “derailment day” going to be our newest holiday now? Or should we give it an entire month of celebration like we do mental illness?
Precision scheduled railroading caused this.
Trains doubled up and being two miles in length is never a good thing.
Trains are so long now that they won’t fit into sidings that were built to hold one train as another one passes. The infrastructure is just not there to support trains of that length.
PTC is really just for incapacitated crew members, not for rear end collisions.
It’s pretty hard for train dispatchers to absolutely know where the rear end of a train is anymore….. considering the length and the current detection methods.
Biden did this
Got to get that Don King commentary
My package is on one of those trains 🥲, I hope everyone is ok
