"Norfolk Southern, the railroad company that was responsible for emitting the toxic vinyl chloride, has offered a $25,000 donation to assist the area’s population of nearly 5,000 people - which works out at only $5 a person." - Source

"Norfolk Southern paid executives millions and spent billions on stock buybacks — all while the company shed thousands of employees despite warnings that understaffing is intensifying safety risks." - Source

"At this time, the immediate cause of the wreck appears to have been a 19th century style mechanical failure of the axle on one of the cars – an overheated bearing - leading to derailment and then jackknifing tumbling cars. There is no way in the 21st century, save from a combination of incompetence and disregard to public safety, that such a defect should still be threatening our communities." - Source

Based on the reading I've done, Railroad Workers United, a union of railroad employees who promote industrial reform, warned Norfolk Southern that their railyards were understaffed, their staff did not have enough time to properly perform preventative maintenance on many rail cars, that several rail cars were in some state of disrepair, and that some kind of catastrophe like this one was likely.
