A new report from the National Transportation Safety Board has revealed both the cause of the catastrophic derailment of the Norfolk Southern train that carried a milieu of toxic chemicals through East Palestine, Ohio, and the fact that serves as the tragic epitaph for so many disasters: it was “100 percent preventable.”
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy told a Febuary 23rd press conference that “Every event we investigate is preventable,” according to The Epoch Times.
A press briefing released by the Board revealed that the derailment was caused by an overheated wheel bearing that was only detected moments before the derailment occurred. ...
...The report showed that as the train braked and decelerated approaching East Palestine it passed the first of three “wayside defect detector(s), or hot bearing detector(s) (HBD).”
The report explained,
“Train 32N passed three HBD systems on its trip before the derailment. At MP 79.9, the suspect bearing from the 23rd car had a recorded temperature of 38°F above ambient temperature. When train 32N passed the next HBD, at MP 69.01, the bearing's recorded temperature was 103°F above ambient. The third HBD, at MP 49.81, recorded the suspect bearing's temperature at 253°F above ambient.”
By Norfolk Southern's policies, when an HBD detects temperatures 170 degrees above the ambient temperature, the crew has to stop and inspect the wheel. They are also trained to inspect if the temperature between two wheel bearings on the same axle is 115 degrees or more. A temperature difference of 200 degrees or more is considered critical and the railcar must be disconnected immediately.
Thanks for the update!
I saw this on here or my phone!
Wow crazy!
Not sure....but...that WAS a great tweet!!
What say Elon???
We all knew that Butt-edge-edge was just full of BS.
Trump’s fault is getting really old!

House Republicans have been in power for nearly 2 months.
They’ve known they won power nearly 4 months ago.
Where the hell are the subpoenas and oversight hearings on the politicization and weaponization of the Biden Justice Department and intel community?
COVID scam?
China?

Replying to @mrddmia
House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has only had 1 hearing (2/9/2023)?
No further hearings scheduled?
Only 3 subpoenas issued?
Jim Jordan is chairing the subcommittee, while also serving as full House Judiciary Committee chairman.
Subcommittee needs its own chairman, chief counsel, and staff.
They need to hold weekly hearings.
Jordan is overextended and short-staffed, biting off much more than he can chew.
Doomed to fail.
Another Benghazi sideshow.
Did you find the keys? I hope it was just keys and not the typical fob. Those are expensive to replace.
Another Benghazi sideshow.
Exactly what hubby said, when we ‘took back’ the House.
Mike Davis is so spot on. A Godsend.
Such a outrageous thing to tell US!
She's disgusting as is the whole sorry Byedone Regime!
So hope some people get it!
I still miss Rushbo in these terrible times with his simple straight intellectual forward thinking truths!
We have so few on our side these days!
So kudos to Levin still speaking out against these media liars supporting the Worse Administration in our time!
The Obama/Biden regime!
Cute and all kids we know stil do this because their parents do!
HA!
I have a phone and keep it in my purse when I’m actually with them in person!
Go figure! ;)
“BTW, you can’t copy pasta”
Bummer, I love pasta
“More concerning footage today from our East Palestine investigation. Dead deer on the banks of Little Beaver Creek at the point where it meets the Ohio River. I followed the creek from East Palestine, to where it merges with the Ohio River to see how far the rainbow chemicals… https://t.co/UpeZoSzYMj pic.twitter.com/rpoZLczYWQ— Grace Chong 🇺🇸 (@gc22gc) February 27, 2023
