It doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to understand that there is only one rational explanation for risking 20 years in a Federal Prison plus a $100,000 fine by illegally altering evidence in the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, on February 3, 2023, and that is that there was something very damning that the powers to be wanted to keep secret.

This illegal evidence tampering comes in the form of a digital photograph that was taken of the Pressure Release Device (PRD) of NS32 Train Car OCPX80235, which was the second car carrying the toxic vinyl chloride that was intentionally detonated and burned three days after the initial derailment. The tampered evidence is found in the NTSB’s official evidence public vault at: https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/Document/docBLOB?ID=15618213&FileExtension=pdf&FileName=Group%20D%20-%20Exhibit%2048%20-%20Hazmat%20Factual%20Report%20Figure%2041-Rel.pdf

By opening this file in a program as simple as Adobe Reader and zooming in by about 1600x it is obvious that a blur was intentionally added over a particular object. In fact, the object that was blurred out was actually bagged and tagged BEFORE the vent and burn procedure and later chemically analyzed in a laboratory a couple of weeks later. The sharp straight lines in the photo are indicative of a photoshopped image.

Note the orange arrow of the blurred out object that was added by this author who finds a striking similarity to a TITANIUM rod from an annular blast ring of the warhead of a Sidewinder Missile.

Here are the lab results of all the samples that NTSB tested. It should be noted though that other evidence was gathered by Norfolk Southern who attempted to turn it over to the NTSB, but was in turn repeatedly told that they did not want it because it was against THEIR protocol to consider evidence that was not personally collected by THEIR agency. Sounds like a cover-up to me!
