Part 6 Chapter 19 "Theories" / Chapter 20 "Preemption" / Chapter 21 "Tort and Punishment"

from GASSED: The True Story of a Toxic Train Derailment · host Ron Scholl

We consider competing theories for why the Alberton derailment and chemical spill occurred, and how federal preemption threatens to derail plaintiffs’ argument. We also examine the burden of proving liability or negligence against MRL for the derailment and any injuries, and of seeking punitive damages.
