Norfolk Environmental Train Disaster

from First Principles Podcast · host First Principles Podcast

The Norfolk train derailment that took place in East Palestine, Ohio was one of the worst environmental disasters to happen on the mainland of the USA. The strange thing about the story is that the vinyl chloride being carried in one of the rail cars, was burned on purpose. The question this, why would they do that? They claim they had no choice because the temperature in the rail car was concerning. However, I seek to uncover the claims, as always, from first principles.
