Corrupt Government Title: Amtrak train derails in Washington; fatalities reported DUPONT, Wash. -- An Amtrak train has derailed on an overpass in Washington state, with at least two train cars falling onto the highway below. Authorities say fatalities and injuries have been reported. At this time, all southbound lanes of traffic remain blocked on Interstate 5.
Public transportation: going where, and when, Big Stupid Government says you can. Unless they kill you before you get there. Choo-choo!, Willie Green. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Finally we are seeing aerial views of the wreck. They show the locomotive, (at approximately 80mph) came to an emergency stop (derailment?) immediately after going over the overpass, --- causing all the passenger cars (12?) to pile up behind, some going completely off the railbed/bridge, --- into the woods and onto the highway. This was the first run of this train, and the track must have been inspected very recently.. Possibly even this morning. Sabotage anyone? -- Or more likely, stupidity..
#2. To: tpaine (#1) Looks like the engine was the only portion that didn't derail - now we see what looks like 4 cars down in the woods on the other side of the bridge from those that fell onto the highway.
#3. To: Hank Rearden (#2) Looks like the engine was the only portion that didn't derail - I saw several loops that showed the engine from directly above. -- It looked to me like it's front end was a bit further to the left than it would be if it was still on the track... But whatever, something happened to stop that locomotive way to fast. Maybe we'll find out for sure by this time next year, if the bureaucracy acts with their usual speed.
#4. To: All (#3) Hmmmm... The FBI is on the scene.. This is great, we can all rest easy now that the truth will soon be revealed.. Or not...
#5. To: All (#0) An issue of the Mooslum deathcult's online magazine ('Inspire') this year devoted a fairly lengthy article to a step-by-step recipe for constructing a homemade train derailing device. Nothing needed but some plywood for forms, concrete mix, rebar, a bit of sheet metal and the right placement - I looked at the issue so I know, I wanted to see how simple the design was for Moo idiots to build and whether it looks effective. As a recovering mechanical engineer, it definitely looks effective if made and placed as described; the hardest part would be getting the concrete mix right for highest strength (but the rebar is essential as well), and it's not genius-level work. So it made me wonder how soon some defective Moos might start making and using these things. We need to invent a device to derail their bullshit fake 'religion'.
#6. To: Hank Rearden (#5) ---- made me wonder how soon some defective Moos might start making and using these things. I'd bet that it just happened. What's really worrisome about this kind of device, is all the various types of defectives/fanatics that might decide to use one, on our millions of miles of track..
#7. To: tpaine (#6) (Edited) What's really worrisome about this kind of device, is all the various types of defectives/fanatics that might decide to use one, on our millions of miles of track.. Yep, so we'll be facing a choice as a society. 1) Go all Medieval on their worthless asses - heads-on-pikes or something equally attention-getting. 2) Keep putting up with their shit, thus trading punches with the Moos and other defective deathcults in a police state, forever. I know which one I'd prefer.
#8. To: Hank Rearden (#7) What's really worrisome about this kind of device, is all the various types of defectives/fanatics that might decide to use one, -- I'd like to see a revival of a type of bounty hunter solution. -- We have thousands of trained hunters/military men who are underemployed, --- and with some financial incentives they could easily start keeping a better eye out for the crazies trying play terrorists with our infrastructure.. Say 50 grand or so, for an arrest leading to a conviction. Probably get some good old boys off their fat asses...
