East Palestine residents, worried about health after train derailment, confront railroad operator

Shaw said the railroad agreed with all the officials responding to the Feb. 3 derailment that venting the hazardous materials cars was the best way to prevent a disastrous explosion.

Wilson told residents that Norfolk Southern feels horrible about what happened. So far, more than 2 million gallons of water and liquid waste have been removed along with 1400 ton of solid waste. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration sent an urgent safety warning out to tank car owners Thursday saying they should check how many of their cars have aluminum covers over the valves like the ones that melted after the Ohio derailment. The agency said car owners should consider switching to steel covers, which is now the industry standard on new tank cars.
