Buttegieg blames TRUMP! for train derailment

How long are you sheep going to hold out with defending our Bastille?
Trump? Is it Groundhog Day. I am laughing at your administration, speaking for me, of course. Check this out. Yes I know it is a FOX report, because your people won't report it.
So what? It's true. BTW, is he a husband or a wife?

I remember you forgot to once and I did not draw attention to it. And, I did not consider you senile, or. a goat.

But what do you think about Buttegieg blaming Trump. A liberal trait, you attack the messenger rather than considering the message.
This should interest our readers a bit more than chiding old senile AvJoe. Why dont liberals recognize issues and answer questions?


Blaming Trump, is he? lol

And somebody questioned whether or not Buttigieg was qualified...?
Forged'aboud'it, man! He's a democratic party winner lol

This is the same tool that said America's roads are racist! Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner-winner, chicken dinner!

I don't watch any of it. But it appears based on a simple internet search that the story has been covered on all major news networks.

Most of the nation’s freight trains — including the Norfolk Southern train that derailed in Ohio — continue to rely on a Civil War-era braking system. Norfolk Southern belongs to a lobby group that successfully pressed President Donald Trump to repeal a 2015 rule requiring newer, safer electronic braking systems in some trains transporting hazardous materials, The Lever reported Wednesday.

The brakes caused the derailment?

No...

Specifically, regulators killed provisions requiring rail cars carrying hazardous flammable materials to be equipped with electronic braking systems to stop trains more quickly than conventional air brakes. Norfolk Southern had previously touted the new technology — known as Electronically Controlled Pneumatic (ECP) brakes — for its “potential to reduce train stopping distances by as much as 60 percent over conventional air brake systems.”

Cheers for that.

When a train car derails, the momentum of all the cars behind it may cause those cars to be derailed in turn. That's when chemicals can spill or explode. So it all comes down to the brakes on each car. The more modern train brakes, like anti-lock brakes in automobiles, can kill more of that momentum faster to prevent or reduce derailments.
