Original Note:
The NTSB who is LEADING (not Steven Ditmeyer) the investigation into the derailment said they believe "a mechanical issue with one of the rail car axles is responsible for the accident". Not brakes. The train went 20 miles with an axle on fire. 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
