Original Note:
The NTSB is LEADING the investigation into the derailment and they know the cause of the derailment better than the opinion of an uninvolved third party in another note. NTSB believes "a mechanical issue with one of the rail car axles is responsible for the accident". https://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2023/02/10/east-palestine-train-derailment-video-fire-axle-alert/stories/202302100070 https://www.yahoo.com/news/train-sparked-miles-derailed-ohio-220100906.html
