anthony foxx department of transportation says pneumatic breaking systems offer a higher level of safety than current systems. saying: sounds compelling. is cost the only reason you don't like the system. >> the freight rail industry doesn't like the e doctor. p braking system. dot could not make a safety case for the regulation. there's no data that warrants or justifies the regulation and people are not talking about the fact that trains today have sophisticated braking systems. brags have not factor into the crude oil accidents that occurred in the united states. frankly, ecp brakes do not protect accidents. and preventing accidents is what we have you focus on. >> we look at lac-megantic, and many times we see a car, train derailing we see cars backing up because they can't brake fast enough they buckle and go off the tracks. that is what we are worried about solving? >> no crude i will accident or derailment has been effected by brakes that failed the trains. what we should focus on is preventing accidents, and because of the breaking technology that exists we should for example res

and his designer was anthony foxx are -- fokker who had built the red baron's plane. it was a star-studded consortium. that was the first person rumored to fly. the first person who actually officially entered was noel davis. noel davis is the fellow closest to the window, closest to the plane. he was the mormon cowboy. he was the fellow who had ridden the range when he was a young man. utah suddenly had four openings in annapolis, so he decided to try and get in. he went to war and after the war, like many bored young navy officers did, he decided to become a pilot in pensacola. he had the first airplane that was available and ready for flying. he was the front runner for a while. many people thought that the odds of byrd and davis were just about equal. but then on a final test, close to where i live, near virginia beach, virginia, in a final test in hampton virginia what is now langley field, his very heavy plane could not lift off and he crashed and both wooster and he were killed. many people believe that the turning point of the race was when lindbergh showed up

department of transportation secretary anthony foxx said as much in 2014 when he admitted the truth is of these oil shipments reach their destinations safely. these new and overreaching mandates require railroad companies to unnecessarily increase their steel tank cars for an estimated $154,-- 154,500 tank cars. in fact "the wall street journal" reported that the steel jacket alone would lower the car's 30 gallon capacity forcing shippers to deploy more cars, according to the rail industry's analysis. clearly this is unintended consequences of new regulations for a .01% problem which increases this by requiring significantly more railcars to actually haul the amount of oil. in addition, the aggressive timeline by d.o.t. is unrealistic and could harm consumers by disrupting the shipment of goods, including chemicals, gasoline, crude oil and ethanol. if democrats in this administration were worried about rail safety, they would approve the keystone pipeline. pipelines are the safest way to transfer crude. our country is in the midst of an energy renaissance which is driving a much-needed
