The train wreck in OH 3 things:
1) Managing the spill and the clean up would be under the auspices of the Ohio EPA. These people
yapping about how come Joe Biden didn't do anything are idiots although President Biden did call
the Governor of OH, Mike Dewine and ask if he needed anything. Pennsylvania's EPA might have been
involved if any of the toxins crossed the border.
2) The fire has me concerned that the people from the rail road and or whomever had the contract to do the
clean up might have let the fire burn because that was a quick and dirty way of getting rid of the problem although
the fire didn't change the toxic nature of the chemicals that the tank cars were hauling but it did spread them
around a much wider area.
3) Donald Trump is thankfully no longer President and as such has zero say in the clean up however he did get rid of
the Obama era's ruling about updating the braking systems on such tank cars which very well might have stopped
the train from derailing in the 1st place.

Norfolk Southern will foot the bill for everything. If they don't pony up, EPA will clean up the mess themselves, and bill NS with bonus penalties. It would be to Norfolk Southern's best interest to cooperate with EPA to the fullest extent possible.
