Norfolk Southern Skips Town Hall with Ohioans it Poisoned, Citing Concern Over “Physical Threat”
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-02-16

At the last minute Norfolk Southern, the company responsible for the train derailment in East Palestine, decided to bail on a town hall with residents, citing their concern that company officials wouldn't be safe. They made this claim without any evidence. It's clear they don't want to face the people they poisoned. This cowardly response was followed by another one of their trains derailing.
