The resulting fire and release of chemicals, most notably vinyl chloride, triggered a health and environmental emergency affecting residents in both states. “We all know are at fault,” she said. “Our focus needs to be on restoring Beaver County to 100 percent of what they had before this accident.” Sen. Maria Collet, D-Montgomery County, called the subpoena a “symbolic move” that would be met with “delay and subterfuge” by Norfolk Southern attorneys.
