Everyone - The NTSB page for the derailment investigation
https://ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/RRD23MR005.aspx
Since my last post (2/6-12:41 AM) there was (finally) mention that the NS train crew - Engineer, Conductor and a trainee - were safe and able to uncouple their three locomotives from the consist.
From the numerous news reports authorities had implemented a no-fly zone over the derailment site that did include drones - taking note that there were only a few overview videos from outside the media or government.
Another problem mentioned was identifying some of the tank cars involved - the fire burned off outside numbers, reporting marks and placards - even with a NS car consist manifest available.
The task of disposing of the volatile chemicals is highly dangerous for anyone directly involved - especially since there turned out to be no practical or safe way to empty or transfer the contents to either another rail car or tank truck with the damaged tracks and any alongside road access blocked meaning that the contents had to be carefully burned off without causing an explosion...
I agree with the thought that this incident is going to be a long term legal problem for NS as DC mentions... As bad as this wreck turned out to be no one has been injured or worse up to this point...MACTRAXX
