Wonder if it was worth all the time they saved not thoroughly inspecting rail cars.

They’ll consider it a ‘cost of doing business.’

Bow many other trains made it to their respective destinations with no issue despite the depressing lack of safety inspections today?
$3mil is not even a drop in the bucket of the petty cash for these corporations. Their daily revenue stream runs into the BILLIONS.

It was. That's how everything works in the world. You find a reasonable medium between cost and benefit.
Do you get a $5,000 PET scan at your routine annual physical? It would very likely find a lot of problems much earlier than otherwise.
Why doesn't every single road have concrete dividers? Why don't cars have 5 point harnesses and roll cages? That would prevent a lot of accident and deaths.

Send the execs and Board of Directors to prison for life. Nationalize the railroad and let the rail union administer it.
Anything less is aiding and abetting this kind of criminal activity on the part of Norfolk Southern

Not good enough. If they can prove “gross negligence” I want criminal charges.
