You are absolutely dead-on...regarding BOTH points.

Even the NTSB has stated that the train crew reacted exactly as they were supposed to under NS rules and were not to blame - in any way.

Crew tried to prevent East Palestine, Ohio train derailment: NTSB

"The sensor “transmitted a critical audible alarm message instructing the crew to slow and stop the train to inspect a hot axle,” which the crew immediately listened to, according to the report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

As the crew worked to slow the vehicle, “the train engineer increased the dynamic brake application to further slow and stop the train,” NTSB investigators said."

You are also correct that the additional comment exposes the ugly underbelly, of the constantly denied racism in this country...by a certain demographic.

Simply disgusting.

How do you throw racism into the pot? Everything in this country is not race related.
