>The footage was “overwritten after the accident because they put the locomotive immediately back in service,”

Is this lawful? I think that this is a twofold scandal.: The rest of the footage is no longer available. The locomotive supposedly wasn‘t inspected by the NTSB.

PS: According to the article, “The camera inside the train car had 12 hours of recording space, all of which was used except for a 15-minute time span before and five minutes after the derailment.“

EDIT: According to another article, which was published subsequently, Norfolk Southern wrote a statement to push back on the claim that the derailed train was immediately put back into service. Source: globalnews
