Associated Press FinanceWhistleblower questions delays and mistakes in way EPA used sensor plane after fiery Ohio derailment
A whistleblower says the Environmental Protection Agency's Aspect plane could have provided crucial data about the chemicals spewing into the air and water around East Palestine as the wreckage burned and forced people from their homes. The man who wrote the software and helped interpret the data from the advanced radiological and infrared sensors on the plane said it also could have helped officials realize that it wasn't necessary to blow open five tank cars and burn the vinyl chloride inside — like the NTSB recently suggested — because the plane's sensors could have detected the temperature of the cars more accurately than the responders on the ground who were having trouble safely getting close enough to check. Robert Kroutil said even when the plane did fly, it only gathered incomplete data.
