Don’t Call Biden “Grandpa” | Norfolk Southern Offers Ohioans $1,000 After Train Derailment 

It's basically a security deposit for an apartment, such an insult

Exactly. People downwind of 3 mile island in PA still feeling it

Absolutely. I'm on the other side of the world but have seen the images of the dead fish. I hope that you are all going to be ok - the apparent media disinterest in this is particularly disturbing 😞

That's the harsh reality of it all. Not only has East Palestine been effected by these horrific events but it's going to trickle into other towns due to the rivers and wind. It's going to seep into the ground and evaporate into the clouds and rain back into other areas.

Ah, so you only care because you live somewhat close. Right, nothing selfish there...

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Cramps keeping you up, Lena?

Considering what chemicals were spilled, you won’t have to worry about them getting into the water or soil. These particular chemicals quickly evaporate into the air at anything warmer than -106 degrees Fahrenheit. The biggest issues will be in the air and, because they burned the chemicals, it could be widespread. At least the effects should be weaker than they would have been locally if they had left the spill alone (instead of people inhaling pvc, they’ll inhale chlorine gas).

Thanks for taking the time to post. Your advice is right on!!!!

Norfolk Southern has a market cap of over $52 billion, so they should be able to pay for their disaster.

​@@dr.g3860 they have been paying for clean up, testing, shelter etc. Same talking points get repeated and nothing new is discussed.

@@Omnikai13 I mean spending money to clean up and repair it as best we can. But it mostly comes down to time

They would be if they were in any other developed world country - or rather the government would intervene & shut them down & give all their assets to their victims, plus top up the victims compensation if what they got from the bankrupting & selling the company's assets wasn't enough

@@tarkov666 Paying for better safety could have mitigated this disaster, but they didn't decide to do that. My guess is they're spending as little as possible to make it look like they did something and not a penny over that, hoping it'll blow over soon. Oh and they should be paying for the medical bills for all the health problems the people in that surrounding area will likely have because of this.

“Try offering them $5 each first though.”

They don't.

It’d be nice if a woman’s, no a PERSON’S, first amendment right to privacy was as respected and protected as the one that immediately follows. And maybe the underlying reason for the banning of books in schools is so that students aren’t forewarned.

It's not for the damn rent Rinaldo - it's for "inconvenience".

Actually, $1000 can pay one month's rent in that part of the country.

@@stephen6691 When you live with your parents I guess so.

​@@stephen6691 Rent is cheap in rural America, but $1000 is far too little. At minimum, it needs to be enough to settle in Indiana or some other part of rural Ohio.

@@chrissiek8706 You say careless ejaculations as if women have no part in sex. stop limiting what people can do and just make abortion safe easy and accessible. Sex is not just an act for procreation.

Lol the irony of your usage of plural monopolies

@@Syclone0044 He's not wrong; CSX and NS have regional monopolies east of the Mississippi (CSX in the North-East, and NS in the South-East) with almost zero crossover between them, while BNSF and UP have similar regional monopolies west of the Mississippi (UP in the South-West, and BNSF in the North-West), again with almost no crossover between their routes.

💯💯💯

Right on!!

Should be compulsory for all the company executives wanting their annual bonuses

I'm so sorry that you are living through this tragedy. I hope people band together and demand justice. But nothing and no amount of money will make up for the deaths of animals, the health of the people, and the way of life of an entire town. I hope that company is ruined.

I don't care where they stay. I just want them to CLEAN UP THEIR MESS ! ! ! apparently their mommies never taught them to clean their rooms.

I totally agree they should move their own families there. See if they are willing to expose themselves and loved ones over a long period of time.

It's been covered by every news media. Problem is everyone keeps talking about the same thing over and over.

​@@georgeb.wolffsohn30 what do you think they've been doing?

The misdirect and disregard by and large by both government and media is damning and underlines both how bad the ordeal is and how it came about happening too.

Yes yes yes! There was a great story from VICE about this on 2/15. Look up 32Nasty.

Biden's too busy dealing with the nothingburger of unidentified balloons...

Do you need anything? Would like to help if I can.

A lot of people are paying attention. This isn't the first time a major chemical company has been egregiously careless and it won't be the last time. We have to pay attention.

And it can happen to so many other towns. I grew up in Ohio hearing the trains not far from my home. I moved elsewhere in the state, and my daughter's school is near an active rail line. I'm so sorry about what you're going through. We need to make these train cars safer, and your town needs a lot of support.

Norfolk should be forced to buy out the town. Not just the evacuated zone, but the entire town.

🙏 for you and the rest in the area; and find a good lawyer.

the news said there was no hazmat on the michigan one though i am afraid for my city not only am i 15 miles from one of NS's largest yards but i also have CN here which rail buffs call crashing national

@@wolvesone they were trying to down play the derailment here in Ohio. It might have worked if they hadn't arrested that reporter. News travels fast when cover-ups are happening. 😡😡😡

Ooh, sorry for talking about the earthquake in Turkey/Syria instead 🙄 Sometimes there's too much news

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Botski

Disasters like this are like any other: the one you hear about is only among the few the corporation weren't able to silence, like Marathon ruining the ground water around my house due to a long-time pipeline leak. Ended up ripping out sixty homes, turned the area into a brown zone, got the township to write ordinances forcing the installation of city water & had to build a treatment plant to try to band-aide the damage to the ground water, but only one small local print news story made it to the public.

What other countries? Corruption is universal...

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Let's see. Most recently Turkey for the collapsed buildings. China for the collapse of the housing market and conclusion with the banks. India for the fires killing workers in crowded factories with no way of escape. Japan for the car companies falsifying test and emission reports. Should I go on?

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Yes but in other countries you see presidents who committed treason end up in jail. Trump is likely never going to go to jail because the american justice system was never built to lock people like him up.

We want to live in a capitalistic country, so this is what we get capitalism is protected

​@@lenawagenfuehr53 nothing? I mean there's your response, now you're gonna be quiet..? Typical

This is what happens when the president steps in and removes any and all power a union has. This is what happens when people stand up and demand better working conditions. swift boot of capitalism comes and beats them down..... months later resulting in shit like this.

When President Obama was in office, a Republican congressman wrote a bill that required trains to have pneumatic brakes and chemical warning and tracking systems on trains and the train cars carrying chemicals. It ws a good safety bill. So Democrats voted for it too. It passed the house and senate and President Obama signed it into law. As soon astrump became president, the republicans had full control of congress and trump in the White House and they did away with the law. Train companies didn't want to pay for the safety upgrades. Now Republicans are blaming the devastating event on President Obama. Their depraved, corrupt liars.

I'm sorry - who the hell do you think runs this country? It ain't us!

and the lobbyist

There were stronger prevention laws, but tRump and his maga scumbags removed them from the books ... how sick is that ?

Full scale disaster? Hunter Biden....

So sorry...the earthquake in Turkey/Syria was taking too much attention, but now is forgotten...but how about them UFO balloons...?

@@lenawagenfuehr53- Your whataboutism for turkey is justified, but the UFO balloons are not fucking important and just distract from the real issues. Air defense tracks these things all the time and it’s only because the Chinese one went from coast to coast that we care about these other ones. The balloons aren’t gonna hurt you. The environmental impact of dumping carcinogens into the Ohio River will when it hits the Mississippi River.

It was covered. You just don't watch the news.

@Michael Morningstar don't condescend me Mr Morningstar. I live here, and I've been furiously reading every article about this since it happened on February 3rd. But yeah good thing we had wall to wall coverage on UFOs instead. These people need help, and it is finally getting nationwide attention, I was merely thanking them for giving time to the story.

Heartbreaking. No amount of money will ever make up for the devastation they've caused. I agree with an earlier poster: The leaders of the Norfolk should be sent to prison.

I agree with you. On the other hand, one ill-considered decision, or an accident caused by someone else, or by a dead animal on the tracks, should not be the end of someone's otherwise-competent and even-handed career.

​@@stevejordan7275 Minor stuff is still covered by liability insurance.

What villains trying to gain access to women's menstrual

cycles. We should all just refuse to participate and vote out those freaking Republicans who are trying to force this on Americans. Can you imagine anything more invasive? We've got to make sure we vote them out. What did Stephen say? Norfolk U? Brilliant.

So only women can menstruate now?

I don't know, but my opinion? It's disgusting and scary

Force it, don't let it become a new Flint. Flint, MI still does not have clean water and has bottled water pick up every week. Snyder got to retire in peace.

". Those poor people will most likely suffer physical effects which range from immediately severe, to underlying, simmering debilitations for decades, along with chronically compromised lifelong autoimmune conditions. " This already happens in America. You think coal mine owners give a shit about the employees who get black lung? You think loggers stop logging all month every time a tree falls on someone? Lets talk about the military! How many were exposed to life altering chemcals and were just brought back and dumped intlo the streets? This is America. Corporations and capital matter more than human lives.

They think a !,000K to each household will keep you from Suing them. Put them under!

do yourselves a favor write return to sender on those checks when you get them. if there is a settlement in the future they can use the check stubs as evidence that they have already settled with the town. usually companies offer a better settlement than that though. 25k for a town is a slap in the face from a multi billion dollar company.

I've heard about it endlessly from all of the major networks. I've been wishing they'd move on. We've heard the news. We don't need to hear it over and over so many times that we memorize what's written on their teleprompter. There is plenty of other news to cover, no need to keep regurgitating the same news story over and over just for ratings. Don't know why you haven't caught any of the coverage except that people these days seem to think "major networks" are, like, RU-vidrNewsBro420/69 or something.

Not true. It’s all I’ve been hearing. No on can or wants to forget.

@@willgetbettereventually124 not 8 days ago, now the story is starting to get traction

What's even worse is the powers that be allow them to........ Over and over and over again.

I agree. An unsolicited offer of $1,000 means they KNOW they screwed up, and are hoping to get out from under it all as cheaply as possible so their stock options don't devalue.

The culprit is we have the DNA 🧬 of modern “human animals” 🌞 capitalism and power.

@@MonkeyJedi99 To be fair, they don't have a lot to spend on inconveniences. In 2022 they only made a profit of $4.8 billion...

Every person should get at least $100K. I don't know if that would be enough to cover future medical bills. Who knows what thr long term effects are.

Why isn't Colbert going to hit on the Bidens Chinese receiving millions fund? It's going to be a true scandal when Americans find out Biden is in the Chinese pocketbook....

I guess Lena holds comedians to a higher standard than journalists. Weird.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Heck, I didn’t find out about it until yesterday, on a Beau of the Fifth Column video.

​@@lenawagenfuehr53well, it makes sense. This is a comedy show. You're not going to talk about a horrific accident and then make fun of it. It took NS a full week to show what pieces of shit they are, and now their shitiness is the target of comedy. As the adage goes "comedy is tragedy plus time." sorry you had to wait sooooo long...

That's devastating. I was just talking with a friend about the wonders of foxes, and how resilient and adaptable they are, even in urban environments. But this is something no fox and no human could adapt to. Heartbreaking.

Where the.Deuce is Buttigieg....on vacation?

That's what happens when voting in republicans.

1000%

The people transporting the toxic chems have a responsibility to make sure it's done safely. That being said, The Infrastructure bill is designed to repair our rail system. You know, the types of things the GOP says we "can't afford" because they just cut taxes for the rich again.

Really Loved Stephen's last comment: "...Norfolk You!"

In addition to putting those responsible behind bars and upgrading our rail infrastructure so this never happens again

Huzzuah..Huzzah... @ORHS2008

They should sue Trump and Republicans. It was their brilliant idea to deregulate the railroad and no longer require brakes.

If that happens, they will go bankrupt, fire all of their employees, and sell their assets to a new group of investors consisting of all the same people who run the company now. Then they'll re-incorporate under a new name and offer most of their employees their jobs back at 75% their old salary, but not the ones who are close to retirement. They'll make a fortune by that kind of settlement. We can never reach the people in charge.

@@TheRealcdawg22 The regulation had NO bearing here. Brakes wouldn't make a difference anyway since the axle failed.

Wait, $5 is not enough ? Kidding aside, if they take the $5 , they can't sue the company anymore, because America.

only in Ohio 💀

There's sensors to detect overheating bearings. Unfortunately, the railroads only install one every 20 miles.🤬

Buttiegieg is a fool and in over his head....

Also, the residents have reported numerous time before that the trains were going through town at an unsafe rate of speed and that a crash was imminent ... But these scumbags wanna offer pennies and don't even have the gall to show up to the town hall meeting.

So much for deregulating everything and seeing how it turns out... We've seen it here.

The Trump administration rolled back an Obama era safety rule on train brakes, in 2018. Search/ type: " The Hill, 9/24/2018, Trump officials roll back Obama era train safety rule....'

Don't sign anything. Talk to an Attorney! If you do it may stop you from being able to get any compensation in the future if you become ill.

the rail company will likely have to go bankrupt. but sadly, no one will go to jail.

@ALICE PHILIPS Exactly. Finally one person in the comments who has a brain. I've been saying this, that the majority of the US would make fun of the most experienced heart surgeon and instead choose to go under the knife with a med student. That's how ridiculous it is to consider old age something to insult rather than something to admire. It isn't funny and isn't that edgy/offensive "funny" that people want it to be. It's just plain boring and nonsensical. We have someone who has made such excellent health choices that he's, at age 80, in better condition than most 30-year-olds in the US. And 80 isn't even that old these days. Must be jealousy, since most Americans would rather sit around binge-watching Netflix and eating Doritos than take care of themselves, and most are so self-absorbed and arrogant they insult every other human being in sight, while President Biden shows a Fred Rogers level of concern for every person he meets. I'm not fazed by celebrities, but I'd love to spend an afternoon with President Biden. It's the next best thing to spending an afternoon with Fred Rogers. They are both such caring and uplifting human beings! By the way, I have not forgotten how people made fun of Fred Rogers for his age, too, insulting his thoughtfulness before speaking, claiming his slow speaking style was a sign of dementia, until years later he died and suddenly they pretended they'd never talked about him that way and always admired him. Evidence of their regret for their words toward him. But they haven't learned from it.
