BREAKING: Massive explosion at an industrial building in Medley, Florida.

no doubt de-regulation is at the bottom of it. just like in ohio.

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump..... ROTFLMBO

Trump is going to haunt you knucklehead's forever.

 

[fncceo]

Focus on the stock values. Screw competence.

I'm fairly certain a lot of capital plant and inventory, destroyed in a horrendous explosion and fire, would have a negative impact on stock price.

WHAT WE FOUND​

The Department of Transportation (DOT) repealed a train safety rule in 2018 that required installing electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes on trains that carried highly flammable hazardous materials, including crude oil.

Most of the world’s trains are equipped with air-braking systems that use compressed air to stop each train car individually. ECP brakes, which use electronic signals to simultaneously apply and release brakes throughout the length of a train, were introduced to overcome the drawbacks of the air-brake system on long freight trains.

Probably. But it's also an old story re stockholders nearly always being willing to forgo safety procedures and maintenance if it increases short term gains and dividends. A very old story. CEO's in many conglomerates are focused on stock prices and dividends, not industrial managerial competence and long term viability. Tis is a result of extending the limited liability benefits to all corporations and not just a few key businesses that serve a public purpose, as originally intended by many Founders and state govts. Absentee shareholders have no skin in the day to day management and could care less, as they will not have to pay the full price of bad management or criminal activity.

Any executive of ANY company knows that in order to consistently produce a good return on investment, the company must be run well.

That means striking a balance between satisfying customers, labor, government busybodies, and the investors themselves in a continually changing environment.

Not an easy trick and one for which they are rightfully compensated well.

They only worry about looking good at the end of a quarter. Most CEO's kick bad stuff down the road for the next guy to get ulcers over, or they get giant parachutes if they get fired. Cooking books is the way they get 'returns on investment'. Most people who invest' are just gamblers anyway, and have no real idea if a company is well run or not. They just buy crap they read about or see on TV, study PR releases and fool themselves into believing they're doing due diligence. They aren't, they're just making bets, no different than sports gambling or horse race handicapping.

Anyone who has ever had a pension, insurance, or placed their money in a bank is an investor.

Investment is what keeps this country going and keeps us from being a nation of indigents.

They want people to believe Trump should have been micro- managing the entire railroad or something, I guess. They're stupid so it's never clear what they're babbling about. Drugs abuse is bad. They want to legalize it all.

So what? Doesn't mean it is run honestly. See all those giant trillion dollar bailouts for the 'Too Big To Fail' Heroes Wall Street loves. This country did a lot better when anti-trust laws and monopolies were treated like like plagues. Masses of people trying to get rich gambling on stock prices is just moronic and sucks real business and industrial development out of the real economy and into trading paper. What we have now creates a lot more indigence, not the other way around. lol look at scams like 'cryptocurrencies' supposedly 'sophisticated investors and bankers' are falling for left and right.

nice try righty - - - but your unwavering devotion & loyalty to all things donny, doesn't negate the fact that he is responsible. just like when he rolled back some 100 EPA regs to pre-nixon days; you can't say it's any differant.

You lying isn't helping your cause Lefty... The cause of the accident was a wheel bearing that heated up gradually while passing over sensor's that took note of the situation. The last sensor that registered the bearing peaking in it's destruction of, then notified the engine of the problem... TOO LATE.

i never lie.

The cause of the accident was a wheel bearing that heated up gradually while passing over sensor's that took note of the situation.

because it wasn't inspected as thoroughly as it was once required. those that are tasked with such inspections have had their 'timing' slashed from several minutes per section to less than adequate

or not at all.

Regulation

A Norfolk Southern Policy Lets Officials Order Crews to Ignore Safety Alerts​

In October, months before the East Palestine derailment, the company also directed a train to keep moving with an overheated wheel that caused it to derail miles later in Sandusky, Ohio.​

by Topher Sanders and Dan SchwartzFeb. 22, 9:47 p.m. EST

Norfolk Southern allows a monitoring team to instruct crews to ignore alerts from train track sensors designed to flag potential mechanical problems.

ProPublica learned of the policy after reviewing the rules of the company, which is engulfed in controversy after one of its trains derailed this month, releasing toxic flammable gas over East Palestine, Ohio.
The policy applies specifically to the company’s Wayside Detector Help Desk, which monitors data from the track-side sensors. Workers on the desk can tell crews to disregard an alert ...

ProPublica has learned that Norfolk Southern disregarded a similar mechanical problem on another train that months earlier jumped the tracks in Ohio.

In October, that train was en route to Cleveland when dispatchers told the crew to stop it, said Clyde Whitaker, Ohio state legislative director for the Transportation Division of the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers, or SMART. He said the help desk had learned that a wheel was heating up on an engine the train was towing. The company sent a mechanic to the train to diagnose the problem.

Whitaker said that it could not be determined what was causing the wheel to overheat, and that the safest course of action would have been to set the engine aside to be repaired. That would have added about an hour to the journey, Whitaker said.

But Whitaker said the dispatcher told the crew that a supervisor determined that the train should continue on without removing the engine.

Four miles later, the train derailed while traveling about 30 miles per hour and dumped thousands of gallons of molten paraffin wax in the city of Sandusky.

Records from the Federal Railroad Administration, the agency responsible for regulating safety in the railroad industry, show that Norfolk Southern identified the cause of the October derailment as a hot wheel bearing. Whitaker said this bearing was on the same engine that originally drew concerns.

Trump Administration Rolls Back Obama-Era Safety Rules For Oil Trains​

By Tony Schick (OPB)
Sept. 25, 2018 8:53 p.m.
The Trump administration has finalized a roll back of Obama-era regulations for oil trains.

The rules, which date back to 2015, required railroads carrying crude oil or other flammable liquids to outfit their trains with more responsive electronic braking systems. The rules came in response to concerns about explosions and spills from mile-long trains of crude and ethanol. In the Northwest, those trains move along the Columbia River and through cities to coastal refineries.

The U.S. Department of Transportation, which has been working on rescinding the rules since last December, said in statement this week that its analysis showed the cost of requiring railroads to equip trains with the new brakes outweighed the potential benefits.

Remember when the US blew up Nord Stream and everybody in the West just moved on and pretended that it never happened?

You'll need to take that up with BIDEN'S NTSB Chair:

Ohio train derailment: NTSB chair issues 'plea to those spreading misinformation'

In a rare series of posts on Twitter on Thursday evening, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy issued "a message to the community" and "a plea to those spreading misinformation."

abcnews.go.com

From the piece:
The NTSB chair addressed speculation that a rule on electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) breaks -- if implemented -- would have prevented the train derailment, which she said was "FALSE."

"The ECP braking rule would've applied ONLY to HIGH HAZARD FLAMMABLE TRAINS. The train that derailed in East Palestine was a MIXED FREIGHT TRAIN containing only 3 placarded Class 3 flammable liquids cars," she tweeted. "This means even if the rule had gone into effect, this train wouldn't have had ECP brakes."

So... you can continue to stick with your accusations but doing so will prove you're a LIAR.

What's a Russian traitor ? Wouldn't that be someone defecting from Russia, and seeking asylum some place else ?

the de - reg covers all hazardous materials. btw - how would YOU like to have a derailment with thousands of gallons of crude spill in yer neighborhood? will you still be saying that?


nice try cowboy ... now don't strain yer back as you bend over & ankle grab some more for donny!
