NTSB: Tank Cars Didn't Need to Be Blown Open After Ohio 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 believed no dangerous chemical reaction was occurring and there was an option to let it cool down. The decision-makers never received this information, leading to fears about long-term health consequences for residents. The NTSB won't release its final report until June, and questions about potential long-term health effects remain unanswered. Norfolk Southern defended the decision, but some residents believe it was driven by greed. Cleanup is ongoing, with some residents still experiencing health concerns, and an investor group is pushing to take control of the railroad.
