As someone who just binged the last 5 seasons of the circle, I resent that.

 

Oh my God...they killed you too!

3 derailments in just the past few days now. I don't know enough about the subject to know if that's a lot or not. But it seems like a lot. 

 

The timing seems curious. Sabotage? 

Is good old fashioned Democratic incompetence considered sabotage?

This story reminds me of this tragic event.

This isn't getting much attention because rural Ohio/Pennsylvania/West Virginia is full of white people

Sure, Norfolk Southern and Netflix conspired to derail five tanker cars of vinyl chloride...because.

 

I know how they did it, too.  They warped the rails with HAARP.

 

Of course, HAARP is in Alaska, so they'd have to reflect the radio waves of something...like balloons. 

 

&#%$in' lizard people...

And then we stop paying attention because we're all suddenly enamored with the next batshitcrazy thing happening, only this time it's like a production of Independence Day meets Mars Attacks meets The Party Supply Store.

 

I'd... actually watch that. @Deranged Rhino, get it made!

It's not a lot.  The country averages about three derailments a day.  

 

Most aren't as severe as East Palestine.  Which is why you never hear of them.

Not sure but nobody can argue with Authentic frontier gibberish.

It took a Mayor Pete screw up to get Fox News to report on it, and even then the article was not about the derailment but about how he ignored the derailment while arguing that few black men work in the rail industry.

 

It's too bad a Republican isn't in the WH so this town can get the proper attention needed.

Hey folks...you'll never guess who was responsible for the Ohio train derailment!

 

Mayor Pete: This was Trump's fault.

 

Quote

Buttigieg noted Tuesday evening that his agency had taken a series of steps to improve rail safety through "historic investments," but said it was constrained by the Trump administration action. In 2018, the Department of Transportation (DOT) withdrew a rule proposed three years earlier requiring trains carrying certain dangerous chemicals to utilize electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, saying the technology's benefits were inconclusive.

Please, someone explain to me how a moving train is prevented from derailing cause by a broken axle, with better brakes?  "Oh shit, ten cars are off the rails!  We'd better stop!"  That's not how braking works.

 

But at least the Secretary of Transportation finally got around to commenting on the transportation disaster...twelve days later.
