Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw will appear before a Senate hearing Thursday bearing an apology and a promise to send millions of dollars to the village of East Palestine, Ohio, torn apart by a fiery derailment last month.
The company has announced several voluntary safety upgrades. Senators, however, have committed to a pressing inquiry into the derailment and the company’s safety practices as well as the emergency response to the toppling of 38 railcars, including 11 carrying hazardous materials, which visited mayhem on the small community., a Norfolk Southern train derailed and spilled 1.6 million pounds of toxic chemicals into the East Palestine affecting its 4,700 residents on February 3.
Watch as a massive inferno and threat of a “catastrophic” explosion follow the initial 50-car derailment:“I want to hear what did they do wrong, what mistakes did they make,” said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., the chair of the committee. “There’s been a number of criticisms of what they did, and to have him respond to those criticisms on the record.”
Thursday’s hearing will be the first in any congressional committee on the derailment since it occurred in February, but Capito and Carper indicated it was unlikely to be the last.
