Jerry 976 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 https://theohiostar.com/2023/02/15/pennsylvania-governor-blasts-norfolk-southern-for-vent-and-burn-plan-in-aftermath-of-train-derailment/ Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is blasting Norfolk Southern Corp. for its handling of a Feb. 3 train derailment that spewed Hazardous chemicals in in East Palestine, Ohio, near the Pennsylvania state line. In a letter to Norfolk Southern President and CEO Alan Shaw, Shapiro excoriates the railway for acting unilaterally, failing to establish a Unified Command, and creating confusion that resulted in a general lack of awareness for first responders and emergency management of Norfolk Southern’s response. Shapiro asserts the railway gave “inaccurate information and conflicting modeling about the impact of the controlled release that made protective action decision making more difficult in the immediate aftermath of the derailment.” And the governor says Norfolk Southern’s “unwillingness to explore or articulate alternate courses of action to their proposed vent and burn limited state and local leaders to respond effectively.” “… Norfolk Southern response personnel improperly planned tactical response operations without adequate input from elected officials, local response organizations, or state agencies, resulting in a single plan of action to vent and burn all five cars without allowing for input from Pennsylvania emergency management leaders,” the Democrat wrote in the scathing letter. “Norfolk Southern failed to explore all potential courses of action, including some that may have kept the rail line closed longer but could have resulted in a safer overall approach for first responders, residents, and the environment,” Shapiro added. “Norfolk Southern was on-scene immediately following the derailment and began working directly with local, state, and federal officials as they arrived at the unified command established in East Palestine by local officials, including those from Pennsylvania. We remain at the command post today working alongside those agencies to keep information flowing from our teams working at the site. We have called the Governor to address his concerns, and we look forward to engaging with his office in the future to ensure they have answers to their questions,” the railway said in the statement.

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted February 18, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 18, 2023 Poor Moe Moe @Snake Gov. Mike DeWine has said Ohio doesn’t qualify for FEMA assistance, and officials still haven’t made a disaster declaration. DeWine said he didn’t want to give people the wrong impression by declaring a disaster on his own.

Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted February 18, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 18, 2023 Poor lil retired Union delivery boy DeWine, a second-term Republican, said he had been contacted after the disaster by President Joe Biden, who, he said, offered any necessary federal assistance. Said DeWine at the Tuesday news briefing: “Look, the president called me and said, ‘Anything you need.’ I have not called him back after that conversation. We will not hesitate to do that if we’re seeing a problem or anything, but I’m not seeing it.” https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ohios-dewine-says-he-has-not-taken-up-biden-on-offer-of-anything-you-need-in-wake-of-train-derailment-disaster-adf4c949 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 The CDC updated and changed the lethal exposure to vinyl chloride from 100PPM to 100000PPM two weeks (mid Jan 2023) before this disaster.
