meanwhile, the national transportation safety board, or ntsb, that is in fact responsible for, as itsindicates, national transportation safety, released an initial report on what is found out about the derailment. there are a lot of questions that remain but one thing it's clear from the preliminary report. the incident was preventable. i had the chance to talk to transportation secretary, pete buttigieg about the derailment after his visit to east palestine i started by asking him what he told president biden when he briefed him after returning, take a listen. >> the president is taking a personal interest in this situation from early on. i wanted to make sure that he knew about what i saw on the ground. both in terms of the administration response and that is something that it has been really well coordinated in terms of how the d.o.t. personnel, and national transportation safety board, epa and others, many of whom were on the ground for the first hours of the situation have all been coordinating both with each other and with state and local authorities. i also wanted him to know a

also with us former national transportation safety board chair jim hall.ith what i thought was a pretty strong statement from your successor, current head of the ntsb. i can tell you this much, this was 100% preventable. there is no accident. what do you make of that statement, and from what you've seen in the preliminary report, was this preventable? >> that's perfectly an accurate statement based on the information that she received from the investigators of the factual report. the fact of the matter is that the ntsb can make recommendations, but the system of safety depends on the railroads who own the tracks. i think that's an important distinction a lot of americans don't understand. you know, your roads are owned and operated by state, federal, local government. the skies are by the faa, but the railroads own the tracks, it's their responsibility, and what we have seen in the last decade is corporate greed and government indifference to regulatory measures to keep americans safe because there are thousands of tons of this hazardous material. they shi

you his testimony live. >>> we are also following breaking news in eastern ohio, the national transportation safety board has just released its preliminary report on the train derailment in east palestine. it comes as transportation secretary pete buttigieg is making his first visit to the community nearly three weeks after the crash. nbc's ron allen is in east palestine, ohio, and also with me nbc's tom costello. you've been reading this report. what sticks out to you? >> by the ntsb, and we expect an ntsb news conference at 1:00. here's the headline at this hour, and i'm reading it off of this press release. so let me just summarize this for you. when a train is coming down the line, there are what's called a hot bearing detector. it's a gauge or a monitor that detects how hot are the bearings underneath the train. this report found that as it went through the third hot bearing sensor, it detected the heat was 253 degrees on the bearing. that is far too hot. that's 135 degrees hotter than what the railroad itself says we should stop the train at this point. this was 253 degrees. that's a very, very hot

for example, the national transportation safety board has absolute control over the investigation and fact, the parties to the investigation, the railroad, the railcar manufacturer. for example, the companies that made the equipment for the hot box, the overheated axle detectors, they will all be a part of the investigation. they are not allowed to release information from the investigation without the express permission of the national transportation safety board. that's the ntsb's rules. so then when the epa, the environmental protection agency, and remember they are both federal and state epas come in to start their work, i mean, it's entirely different federal agency and, yes, they are supposedte, but they don't rcontrol the investigatio. so when they start the cleanup and start moving things out, that isn't necessarily part of the ntsb investigation alt all. they are busy working on what happened and what to do so it doesn't happen again. so coordination would certainly be in order. yes, the people that have to live around this terrible disaster do need all the information that t

for the national transportation safety board, who were on scene almost immediately and began their investigation, they are the most responsible independent investigative body in this incident. and later today, they are going to have a preliminary report out that will be of great interest to the people listening on this call, and to me as well. host: we will get to calls and a little bit. i have a question to start out with from california. this is by text. he says, i am a retired fire captain from orange county, california, with experience in hazmat incidents. ask your guest about exothermic chemical reactions and ask about eleve. i'm not sure what that is. but perhaps you do. guest: on the second one, unfortunately, one of the incidents we had to investigate as part of the chemical safety board was a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion. a terrible, terrible challenge. a railcar filled with such material, or a tank -- in that case, it was a tank of fuel in, of all places, iowa, during the wintertime. we depend on turkeys iowa winters are very cold. the underlayment to this fuel tank that wa

now, the national transportation safety board is literally says, preliminary findings today. what are we expecting from that time we just got that report released minutes ago and fact. and their preliminary findings are that, 1st of all, the train was traveling at a normal rate of speed and the engineers. the conductors had attempted to stop it earlier, because there were warnings on the track that there was an overheating wheel bearing, which ultimately failed. leading to the derailment. the ceremony that happened on february 3rd lead to no injuries or deaths, but it did lead to this hazardous waste of spill of $435.00 leaders of vinyl chloride, which is a very toxic chemical use to make artificial leather among other plastics. well, that was unstable, it could have erupt into flames. and so a few days after the derailment, it was decided by the railroad company and local responders to have a control burn for that chemical to be released into the air. but to be dissipated by fire. course we saw that huge womb of toxic smoke about 2000. some residents were commanded to evacua
