Ohio Attorney General has filed a civil lawsuit against Norfolk Southern over a train derailment that caused the release of over one million gallons of hazardous chemicals.
Ohio is suing Norfolk Southern in federal court for “recklessly endangering” the health of residents in East Palestine, Ohio, and the surrounding area after a train derailment in the state last month sparked a public health and environmental emergency.
The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was the fault of US President Joe Biden’s administration, Donald Trump has claimed, warning it could lead to a new Great Depression in the United States.
Just hours before the CEO of Norfolk Southern testified this week before Congress about his railway's apparent difficulty staying on the tracks, another one of its trains derailed in Alabama.
Following the train derailment in Ohio last month, there was something of a groundswell among some Republicans calling for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to resign. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was among those calling for that, while a group of House Republicans introduced a resolution, later withdrawn, calling for Buttigieg to step down.
