Ohio is suing Norfolk Southern over the East Palestine train derailment, the state's attorney general said.
The NTSB said that the agency is not satisfied with the new safety goals outlined by Norfolk Southern. That the community is still reeling from the toxic spill in February
The attorney general went on to point out that the derailment "caused the release of over 1 million gallons of hazardous chemicals and it endangered both the health and area residents of Ohio's natural resources." Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders pressed Shaw on health care needs in East Palestine, asking if his vow to help the community following the train derailment will include paying for health care costs for residents.In a statement Tuesday, the rail company said it is making progress in cleaning the derailment site, providing funds to affected residents and businesses, and investing in the community.
Other symptoms reported were fatigue, irritation, pain and a burning sensation on the skin, according to a statement from the governor's office March 3. "Hot bearing" or "hot box" detectors use infrared sensors to record the temperatures of railroad bearings as trains pass by. If they sense an overheated bearing, the detectors trigger an alarm, which notifies the train crew they should stop and inspect the rail car for a potential failure.
