Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri Feb 17 09:37:11 2023 Mayor Buttface - Subchats favorite Transporation Secretary has an interesting thing to say.Buttigieg notes Ohio getting 'particularly high amount of attention,' while trains derail '1,000' times a year The Secretary of Transportation spoke about rail safety after East Palestine, Ohio train derailment disaster Free East Palestine! U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg emphasized to Yahoo! Finance Live the large number of train derailments in this country while the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, has gotten the most "attention." Buttigieg continues to face backlash after he was slow to discuss the train derailment causing toxic chemicals to pollute the East Palestine and the surrounding region. He finally addressed the disaster on Monday night, 10 days after the train crashed. Buttigieg was asked by Yahoo! Finance about what the Transportation Department is doing. "Look, rail safety is something that has evolved a lot over the years, but there's clearly more that needs to be done because while this horrible situation has gotten a particularly high amount of attention, there are roughly 1,000 cases a year of a train derailing," he said. ---- Yessir, we should be paying attention to the other 1000, because all derailments are equal. ----- He commented that this more salient example of a derailment happened despite major regulations already on the books. "Now this train was subject to certain enhanced requirements because of hazardous materials on board. But obviously, none of that prevented what happened in East Palestine," he said. "It's one of the reasons we're going to be paying very close attention to the findings that NTSB comes back with." ----- If regulations didn't prevent this, then all hope is obviously lost. Unless the NTSB can find someone to scapegoat. Then the gov't can be blameless and it is a win-win. |
