Reported 11 months ago

Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, are awaiting further details on the Norfolk Southern freight train wreck of last year as the National Transportation Safety Board holds another hearing in their hometown. The NTSB is expected to discuss the investigation findings and will release recommendations to prevent similar disasters in the future. The crash, caused by an overheated bearing and compounded by various factors, led to the evacuation of residents due to fears of an explosion. The NTSB's recommendations, although not binding, may prompt legislative action on rail safety improvements.
