“I was told that my house was safe to go into. Because I threw a fit, the railroad sent a toxicologist down and deemed it not safe to go into.”
Meanwhile, Jami Cozza said the home belonging to her and her family, located near a creek that has been filled with dead fish, told 19 News a toxicologist sent by Norfolk Southern declared their home as unlivable.
“I was told that my house was safe to go into,” Cozza said. “Because I threw a fit, the railroad sent a toxicologist down and deemed it not safe to go into.” Cozza said the community have “plenty of reasons” not to trust the railroad company after the derailment and its subsequent chemical release. Cozza said she and the surrounding community will have a David-and-Goliath battle with Norfolk Southern, which has since reopened the railroad that was the crash site just weeks ago.Copyright 2023 WOIO.
