A video that captured an Ohio train 20 miles before it reached the site where it derailed is raising questions about when the crew knew there was a problem.
The video, which captured the train 20 miles before it reached the site where it derailed, is raising questions about when the crew knew there was a problem.The video, obtained by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, was taken by a security camera at an equipment plant in Salem, Ohio. What appears to be sparks and flames can be seen in the video under one of the train cars as it passes the plant. The National Transportation Safety Board referenced the video at a news conference last week.
That second video came from a processing plant in Salem a mile down the track. In front of that plant is a hot box detector, which scans the temperature of the axles as a train passes and sounds an alert if they're overheated. The NTBS says there was an alert, but it's not known if it came from the hot box detector in Salem or the next one down the track 20 miles away in East Palestine.
