Editorial marks the fifth anniversary of the Graniteville derailment near Aiken County. On January 6, 2005 a Norfolk Southern train diverted onto a siding collided with a parked train, causing a deadly incident and substantial fallout.
The Graniteville train wreck killed nine people and exposed over 200 to chlorine gas after a derailment. It damaged Avondale Mills leading to closures and mass unemployment, while 5 400 residents evacuated and water rates rose as the town’s economy and services struggled to recover.
The Aiken Standard lists staff roles including Publisher Scott B. Hunter Editor Jeffrey B. Wallace News Director Timothy E. O Briant Production Director Phillip Yates Circulation Director Scot Newcom Business Manager Terri Cheek Managing Editor Michael W. Gibbons Classified Advertising Manager Letitia Jefferson with email addresses for each position.
