an equipment failure caused a norfolk southern train to skid off those tracks, sending more than 1 million toxic chemicals into the soil, water and air and sparking a fire. contractors recommended burning the chemicals inside five train cars out of fear that they would otherwise explode. but that caused a plume of toxic smoke to drift into the nearby town, forcing evacuations, and federal investigators later found the decision to burn the chemical was unnecessary. vice president vance says he wants the community to know they will not be left behind nor forgotten. >> we know that a lot of local businesses and a lot of local people lost a lot when that train disaster happened a couple of years ago. we are committed not just to finishing the environmental side of the cleanup, but hopefully seeing east palestine build back better and stronger and more prosperous than it was before this disaster happened in the first place. >> norfolk southern has agreed to $600 million of a class action settlement. several more lawsuits have been filed in the last week, and that includes a suit alleging for th
