| [FoxNews] CEO of Norfolk Southern railroad smiles outside his $4.2M Atlanta mansion after defending his decision to detonate toxic derailed train in East Palestine - that has poisoned Ohio town [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Cincinnati Shuts Off Water from Ohio River due to East Palestine Contamination [Breitbart] Hamilton County, which hosts a good portion of metropolitan Cincinnati, gets its water from both the Ohio River and the Greater Miami Aquifer. Butler County, just to the north but considered part of the exurbs of Cincinnati, gets its water primarily from the aquifer, with Hamilton County as the backup supplier. |

| #10 "Hold Tthem accountable" has joined "I take full responsibility" as just another meaningless phrase used by people who think it makes them sound important and authoritative. In fact it just shows that they don't have a brain in their head and just repeat meaningless phrases they've heard other impressive-sounding people say. |

| #9 Replenished by water that seeps down from the overlying rivers, Primarily the Great Miami River and its feeding streams, I expect, which is tributary to the Ohio River. It’s much too far north — and uphill — to be watered by the Ohio. |

| #8 The drainage for the town will be into the Ohio river which will not impact the Western portion of the state or Northern - probably Cincinnati mostly. |

| #7 #6 is interesting. It reminded me of the Kingman Propane Explosion, where leaking propane ignited, heating the tank car until the pressure relief valve opened. That propane also ignited, further heating the tank until it exploded, sending a large chunk of the tank car 2,000 feet down the tracks. Eleven firefighters killed. Go to the link and read about the blast damage. I don't know if there was propane involved in East Palestine, or if vinyl chloride is explosive, or if the NS said, "We don't worry about small towns, give us profits". I guess the NTSB will tell us. Eventually. Until then, it's another Hunter distraction. |

| #5 If we brought back 'ritual seppuku' for CEOs, I would expect many more would be interested in actually managing a company rather than playing monopoly for stock returns. |

| #4 Buttigieg wrote that the railroad "must live up to its commitment to make residents whole" So FEMA won't have to assist. Private sector problem, not a Federal issue, see? |
