"NTSB Criticizes Unnecessary Chemical Burn in East Palestine Train Derailment"

The NTSB stated that the decision to blow open tank cars and burn the toxic chemical after an Ohio train derailment wasn't justified, as experts from the chemical company believed no dangerous reaction was occurring. The agency won't release its final report until June, but it's clear that the controversial vent-and-burn action wasn't necessary. Residents are left with lingering health concerns, and questions about long-term effects remain unanswered. Norfolk Southern defended the decision, but some believe it was driven by profit motives. The cleanup is ongoing, and some residents are still experiencing health issues.
