A whistleblower alleges she was pressured to report “zeros” and conceal animal deaths after the 2023 East Palestine derailment. The worker, a former employee of the testing contractor, says she was instructed to downplay contamination risks following the Ohio train disaster. Her claims include falsifying environmental data and hiding evidence of wildlife fatalities.

The testing company denies the allegations, stating they followed proper protocols. The incident raises ongoing concerns about corporate accountability and public safety in environmental disasters.
