Original Note:
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy took to Twitter to implore the public to “PLEASE STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION” on train disaster. Brakes had nothing to do with this incident. The ECP braking rule would’ve applied ONLY to HIGH HAZARD FLAMMABLE TRAINS not MIXED FREIGHT TRAIN https://twitter.com/JenniferHomendy/status/1626379359375265792 https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/02/17/bidens-own-administration-calls-pete-buttigiegs-claims-on-east-palestine-train-misinformation/
