So in other words yet another company that gets off Scott free.

Agree, with any past incidents I'm sure to protect yourself from a company stand point they'd put a policy in place for this exact thing. They are like a corporate mafia, another train derailed somewhere else today.

Ok I’ll bite. Let’s say the entire crew was sleeping. How does that change what happened here? Do you think the crew being awake or asleep when the wheel melted off makes a difference somehow?

Mine did that so I switched it. Straight up bullshit but I do think pa is known for having high rates of a lot of stuff

Imagine that!!

At some point I can't continue to believe this is incompetence. They have money to pay off politicians, so I'm sure they pay the regulators too. I guess it's too much to expect anyone will have charges filed against them for destroying evidence.

She should probably have an aide or a nurse to accompany her. So you need to start with the Doctors Office to get the ball rolling to get assistance that shouldnt cost you any money unless you are very wealthy.

Private schools in PA do not have to comply with the ADA. (Bussing from the school district comes from local tax dollars.)

They can also refuse your children due to their medical conditions, or kick them out. They do not have to offer or comply with 504s or IEPs (which you can get due to medical conditions)

The PA education law center is a good resource.

Geico raised my rates too, was paying under $100 for 2 cars and now I'm at $125 every 6-months.

Wooder ice!!!

Wow that's so weird it just disappeared

Independent agent here. If your auto is currently with a fifteenth company then your homeowners/renters/condo try getting an auto quote from that company. While the auto quote may be close to the same as your current, you should recieve a discount on your home ect. This is often a way of saving a good penny

Yes, what is also interesting is that they don't have a backup system uploaded to a cloud of some sort. I'm sure as a big company like that they record for a reason i.e. accidents/ lawsuits. I wonder if a look at past lawsuits/reports could prove otherwise, because this definitely isn't the first derailment.

It seems to be a school wide policy. There was never a formal meeting. We are now on the third principle in the 8 years our kids have been there. While it has been a problem all along it is now being aggressively enforced. They demanded a chaperone today for an even held within the same school system. This was literally to attend a play at the high school she will attend in less than a year. I chaperone my own kids at some field trips as well as the child of a friend who is diabetic. I'm a type 1 myself and never had this bullshit growing up. I drafted a letter to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Its in the mail box presently. I may send a copy to the bishop. I am debating the press as well.

It sounds like NTSB didn't collect the evidence when they had the chance.

>Immediately following the derailment, the locomotives and uninvolved
leading cars were moved from the derailment site to one of our
facilities,” the company wrote. “This movement did not overwrite the
videos. The locomotives were held there for NTSB inspection. Following
release by the NTSB days later, the locomotives were returned to normal
service.

Basically every NVR, Dashcam or Bodycam works like this. It only has X amount of space so it keeps the most recent and overwrites the oldest data once it hits a low amount of free space on the drive. NTSB should have collected that as soon as they had access to the train.

Modern locomotives are equipped with a dual safety mechanism, one for the conductor and one for the engineer, that requires each to press a button at a separate interval.

I'm in the exact same situation. I have it on my to-do list to call GEICO and figure out what the deal is. Sounds like we're all in the same boat.

Kettle Cooked BBQ more resembles the old Middleswarth than the regular ones now do. Now if only we could get them in a bucket

Now that guy was a serious head case. He had mark Zuckerberg ddos the prison so he could kill himself peacefully and strategically. Wow. Smart guy. Big brains. Had it all and gave it all for his country.

Yes, we had color photos, but they weren't common in the daily newspaper at that time. Only the Sunday paper was "blessed" with color photos.

Lays classic, or lays salt and vinegar.

Nothing to see
