Mayor Pete and his pal, CEO of Norfolk Southern Alan Shaw aren’t telling the people of East Palestine, Ohio that the train that derailed, and caused the toxic chemical spill that is now killing animals, fish and making people sick actually broke down two days prior to the derailment in Ohio. Yet despite this same train breaking down just two days earlier (On February 1st), Norfolk Southern decided to run it out anyway, with the vinyl chloride. How are people not being arrested for such incompetence?

Norfolk Southern employees allege that after the train left the station, it broke down at least once prior to the Feb 3 derailing in East Palestine, Ohio. In the employees’ view, the 151 cars + 18,000 tons contributed to both the breakdown and derailment.https://t.co/qFrZriARBS
