Alan Shaw, the cowardly CEO of Norfolk Southern, the train company responsible for the February 3rd toxic chemical spill finally decided to visit Ohio, nearly two weeks after he and his trains carrying toxic chemicals basically nuked the town of East Palestine, Ohio. Previously, Shaw refused to go to Ohio for “safety reasons”. I guess they magically just went away like people’s lives in East Palestine.
Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw met with officials in East Palestine on Saturday following the toxic Ohio train derailment on Feb. 3.
Shaw briefly told reporters that he was there to “support to the community” after the rail operator came under scrutiny for its response to the disaster.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has voiced his frustration over Norfolk Southern’s decision not to attend a public meeting with residents last week.
Norfolk Southern had written a letter, saying that it hears the residents of East Palestine and that work was underway to clean up and coordinate with federal, state and local agencies. It did not attend the meeting reportedly due to concerns about the safety of its employees.
