When Ohio Senator JD Vance was briefing the press earlier today, he was asked about East Palestine residents being required to sign indemnity waivers, releasing Norfolk Southern Railway from legal liability, as a requirement of having their water/air tests conducted on their property.
Senator Vance said he talked to a resident about it, then reviewed the contract and confirmed the indemnity demand. Vance then immediately called Norfolk Southern Railroad officials and asked them about it. According to Vance, the response from Norfolk Southern Railway was that the liability waiver was accidentally presented.
...
Does anyone really believe the contingency waivers were “accidentally” presented to the residents?
accidently, ROFL
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
“Mistakes were made.”
Morons think some waiver would release them from liability.
Some people did something
“Morons think some waiver would release them from liability.”
Who do they think they are? Pfizer?
They take people for fools.
Lol!
How does an accident like this happen? Oh wait......LOL Norfolk Southern sure is accident prone.
NS: Just sign here and we will have independent people come in and do testing at no charge after our train derailed and we decided to poison your environment. We really mean it. Just sign here.
WTH?
Short of exposure it would certainly scare some people away.
“Mistakes were made.”
Yeah, but you must admit that they are “closely monitoring the situation”. The mistake was getting caught.
Bankrupt the rat bastards. You know, I was thinking that people were overreacting until I read this.
Yeah right! The citizens of the little town were and are expendable. Money and power on the top of the list,small town in fly over country not so much.
Almost 200 billion to Ukraine, while nothing for East Palestine, Ohio, USA.

I believe it, because this sort of thing happens to me all the time. Let me give you just a couple of examples. A cop pulled me over last week, and asked to see my driver’s license. I accidentally handed him a contingency waiver instead.
And then there was the time I was at a fancy restaurant. The waitress handed me the bill. Instead of cash, I accidentally handed her a contingency waiver.
So, yeah. It happens to the best of us.
Now it's smeared all over their face, and rightly so. Bwahahaha.
I’m pro business, but anti woke, crony corporatist. Norfolk Southern is part of the problem in America. They buy politicians on both sides of the aisle. They get their way no matter who is in office.
Yeah, like:
- Mara Lago was accidentally raided by the FIB
- Hunters laptop was accidentally loaded with porn
- BiteMe was accidentally storing classified docs in his garage
“I keed!”
