Do we now know (((their))) gameplan to take out the rural resistance-minded? The chemical cloud from East Palestine is going to spread over most of Appalachia.

Those same chemicals and worse travel by rail all thru the mountain and western states. Are we going to soon be seeing derailed tankers burning off toxic fumes in Montana or Wyoming or Oregon? or even British Columbia?

Ultimately, toxins from Ohio are going to reach the Gulf, having spread thru the bayous. (((They))) could just as easily derail another train somewhere near other major rivers.

These people are fucking evil.

some exercpts below

> This is absolutely tied to the strike shutdown. They were literally fighting for stricter safety controls and the extra manpower to enforce them. This is exactly what happens when corporate "runs" the company.

>They knew they were riding on faulty equipment but dispatch had them try and squeak it out. Total negligence on all parties every step of the way, if it wasn't planned this way (white noise). So many details are questionable as fuck. Heads need to roll on this one.

>Also why were they carrying this particular combo of chemicals, you would never store some of these near each other so why would you ship them together in that qty. Why the fuck would the local pd/fd decide to burn this shit at such a low temp?

> This. Three mile long trains are inherently unsafe. This was specifically part of the strike. Biden AND the Republicans told them to go back to work or go to jail.

> I thought the crew disappeared because they were diversity hires but then I found out the train's destination was a Norfolk Southern switchyard only 20 miles away from East Palestine. So the boomer managers probably told the crew to keep on rolling and they would deal with any flaming wheels there.

> They were carrying these chemicals together because they were all going to the same customer and they wanted to make it easy to cut out those tanker cars. Just lazy corner cutting again.

it's kind of hard to believe we'd fuck around with dangerous chemicals and nuking a whole town essentially because we just don't want to pay for maintenance on a train. I have personal experience with this. I used to work xraying rail car bolsters. Tge problems started after they began outsourcing them to Mexico. I remember some of the inspectors showing me x-rays that had every known casting defect all on one photo. The inspectors were saying they can't even figure out how they could make something that bad if they tried, because some of the defects were from having the metal too hot, others too cold. How do you manage to get it too hot and too cold all on the same casting?

One casting line we ran we failed 90% of the parts. So the engineers rewrote the specs and now we failed 85%. So they rewrote them again and again until they were passing parts that would break apart in your hands.

You have no idea how shit the safety standards are on American industrial equipment. Profit is number one and safety is irrelevant.

A lot of it comes from the federal law that created Amtrak. Basically, the federal government pays for all rail disasters, even when the company is at fault, so the company doesn't give a fuck. Maximize profit, if something goes wrong, someone else pays
