Well considering Mein Kampf is not a religion and Hitler wasn't a religious leader/deity no... it still would not apply. This is about Religious freedom which is a Constitutional right. Ethically, they should not be allowed to deny a Satanist club and allow a Christian club, or a Buddhist club or an Islamic club etc...

Obviously I'm not saying they refuse all religious observations (I.E. Prayer, meditation, fasting etc...) but After school clubs most likely do not fall under that observation. You either allow all, or deny all. Fair is fair.

All of a sudden everyone in r/Pennsylvania is a satanist. Some things are engrained in people’s minds to not be what you, supposedly the correct one, think it is, anthropologically speaking.

Imagine students came up with a club called, idk, Knights of Mein Kampf Club? They would sit around, read and watch old films about (s)Hitler, and make some shrine for him. Should students be allowed after-school allocations to run such a club?

EDIT: It’s actually hilarious to see all the satanic temple janitors come out. I’m sure the organization does important, good work in communities across the nation, but the reliance on government, for anyone and anything, is a one-way ticket to being unsatisfied.

It sounds like their policy was to flag the footage of the incident (the 15 mins before until 5 mins after). They still have that part.

It seems like NTSB now wants all of it but they could have had it if they had done their job.

Its kind of funny because I was just watching some reruns of the first 48 with my wife the other day and the detectives on that show, no matter the department always go for video first thing from businesses, ring cameras, etc because they know it disappears the longer you wait. Why a federal agency investigating a major ecological disaster didnt do the same is beyond me.

I agree it’s not incompetence but it may be it’s nefarious cousin-underfunded regulators. If their just aren’t enough staff to do the right thing, it serves the same purpose as bribing officials and it’s been the trend In government since Reagan. If you can’t outright get rid of a regulatory body, neuter it by underfunding it and understaffing. That way everything is “working” but is ineffective furthering the public’s doubt in government agencies

The local storage can be redundant SSDs inside of a fire proof enclosure like the "black box" airplanes have. From all of the derailments I have seen in the news in the past few years, i don't think I have seed a locomotive being destroyed.

Batch upload at the rail yard would be probably a huge infrastructure project, especially in remote areas with shitty internet. You'd have to place access points all over the yard, run fiber back to a central point, and then have a large amount of bandwidth for a train to upload say 2 days worth of footage from multiple cameras in 1080-4k resolution in under whatever the time it takes them to switch their loads and leave the yard.

But again, none of that matters if NTSB doesn't do their job and actually download the footage when they have the chance. Any cloud / remote backup is going to have a retention window as well where they would delete footage.
