  1. Denied he had anything to do with causing the train accident as bad as it was. When
    He deregulated Train Safety!
    The train Companies came to Trump and told him that they didn’t want safety regulations! Cuts into profits.

    ECP brakes would have surely helped in this disaster.

    More people on the train would have helped as well.

    I truly believe that if you want things done correctly you need to choose the right people.

    Maybe thru this experience, these folks will recognize that Big Businesses don't care about people's lives just money! GREED DID THIS.

    YOU ALL need to realize that the politicians you have voted to represent you don't.
    Look to your Mayor, Governor, Senaror and Congressmen to help you! You voted for them right?
    What?
    Lesson learned!
    4 years of repealing safety laws to line the pockets of Norfork. I don't see why you all Support Big Businesses and the politicians that enable them?!
    Your vote is more powerful than you think.
    Now put on the Trump hat and drink the Trump water. That’ll make you feel better.

  2. I hope everyone will be back to normal in Ohio so Jesus bless Ohio bless the people who die for the cross for Jesus Christ

  3. A little over 200゚Over air temperature??? Guess how hot it would have to be for the grease to catch on fire? You are trying to tell me a Wheelbearing Caused that train to de rail? What about the other wheel It's a pretty robust Set up for one wheel to cause that! You do know that there is 4 wheels right? One of those wheels could easily hold the weight of the train! Yeah I'm sorry I'm not buying the STORY!!! Do you know how many trains would derail if one wheel bearing going out could cause that Do you know how many Wheels are on a train And I think we all know they're not Maintained in that manner. Because a wheel bearing wouldn't cause a whole train to come off the track In one wheel the other wheel would Hold it! Not to mention it stretched between 2 other cars That are not exactly Paper Michelle I call BS! Wheelbearing give me a d*** break!

  4. this is horrable we need to fix things and stay safe its just crazy for whats going on in the world where falling apart we need to come togather insted of go further apart treat each other like humans not other living corps or just another person THIS NEEDS TO END NOW PLEASE FOR HUMANITY

  5. JOE STOPPED RAILROAD STRIKING SEE WHAT HAPPENS

  6. When engineers succeed, they get no attention.
    When they fail, they get LOTS of attention.

    I wonder if Hollywood will make a movie about this disaster 100 years from now, just like they did with that boat and the iceberg.

  7. Peter BUTT-PLUG only went because Trump's prior earlier faster visit and rescue efforts shamed him into going and finally doing his job.

  8. 🤔 I'M WONDERING.. <WHERE IS GRETA?>. IF SHE'S ON ITALY SHE SHOULD CHECK THE EXPLORATION ON VERONA ITALY. THAT RELEASED CHEMICAL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. AND THE OTHER EXPLORATION IN OHIO ON A METHALURGICAL MANUFACTORY.

  9. Same people who repeatedly vote for less government, less regulation, etc, and who think that "government is the problem…" …madder than hell government didn't immediately show up to save them and clean up the mess when less government resulted in a major disaster.
    Vote for trump again Ohio! Watch him deregulate you into oblivion!

  10. The transport secretary is making
    Sure that he won't be inhaling those
    Fumes, so it's safe to say it's safe.
    The secretary mumbled to himself
    I'm not breathing those fumes.

  11. In 6 months Liberals be like – "why is there a massive shortage of this particular product? Why am I being oppressed?"

  12. Rail roads have defect detectors every 20 miles that look for excessive heat and other issues and radio the conductor and dispatchers with specific axel identification.

  13. The crew made a report and tried to stop the train. They were not permitted to do so. Blame these powerful monopoly corporations who ignore regulation and break the safety laws and have run amok over the rights of the people

  14. Why in hell do we send trains hauling hazardous chemicals through sensitive, heartland areas anyway?

    Small truck loads are one thing…but well-more than a hundred thousand pounds on many freight cars is playing with disaster.

    If we can reroute air traffic away from sensitive airspace, we certainly can figure out how to transport hazardous chemicals without endangering lives and food-producing regions.

  15. Sure!!!😀😀😀

  16. Conservatives want less regulation and more accountability from their free market.
    LOL

  18. He had to make sure it was safe to breath the air.
