NTSB releases preliminary report on Ohio derailment that led to toxic chemical spill
Geoff Bennett:
The 149-car train derailed nearly three weeks ago. Its 38 cars came off the tracks, 11 of them tank cars that dumped more than 100,000 gallons of hazardous chemicals, including vinyl chloride, which is linked to cancer.
The EPA says its tests show the air and municipal drinking water in East Palestine are safe. Today's NTSB report also found the train was traveling 47 miles per hour before the accident, which was below the speed limit. Residents in East Palestine remain anxious and frustrated about the aftermath.
