From The Epoch Times:
Ohio Files Lawsuit Against Norfolk Southern Over Toxic Train Derailment
Citing his concern that Norfolk Southern Railway’s accident rate has increased 80 percent over the past 10 years, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced that his office has filed a 58-count civil lawsuit in federal court over the company’s Feb. 3 derailment in East Palestine.
Norfolk Southern violated numerous state and federal laws, caused the release of “over 1 million gallons of hazardous chemicals” and created “hidden dangers” for the health of residents and Ohio’s natural resources, Yost said during an online press conference on March 14.
“Ohio shouldn’t have to bear the tremendous financial burden of Norfolk Southern’s glaring negligence,” Yost said. “The fallout from this highly preventable incident may continue for years to come, and there’s still so much we don’t know about the long-term effects on our air, water, and soil.
Ho. Li. Crap - that first paragraph: "Norfolk Southern Railway’s accident rate has increased 80 percent over the past 10 years"
And of course, had this been reported by the New York Times, this would be buried in paragraph #23
