Interesting how people are so quick to blame the rail companies for their neglect, political lobbying to reduce safety regulation, etc, etc, but simply can't accept the fact that media companies who are often beholden to the same shareholders as the rail companies are not going to be inclined to go report on something like this if said shareholders are going to tell them to back off.
I mean its pretty clear here that a lot of what came out in regards to this story was told by independent sources. It took quite a while until it got more attention, and even logger for the feds and the EPA to get seriously involved.
