Are you his lawyer or pr team or something? What's embarrassing is you trying to deflect on behalf of this ghoul. None of what you said detracts from the fact that an environmental disaster occurred under his leadership, partially because of shoddy labor practices and cuts to regulations by the railroad lobby. The fact that we rely on companies like this is even more cause for concern.

Only partially. There was nothing very special or egregious about this derailment; it could have happened anywhere, anytime over the last several decades. The Lac Megantic disaster was much worse in terms of lives lost, community damage and railroad negligence.
