    Did your president use it to promote his agenda instead of sending his condolences.... Can't make it up

    Saw this on the news.

    It seems Amtrak has a derailment every six months.

    Previously, officials—including those from Amtrak—had warned of the risks that fast trains posed to pedestrians and vehicles near rail crossings in particular. “We want to make sure as many people as possible understand what’s going on, understand we are starting a new service on December 18, and ensure that they know how to stay safe around the railroad tracks,” Janet Matkin of the Washington State Department of Transportation said at a public presentation earlier this month, according to a December 4 KOMO-TV report.
    At that meeting, Don Anderson, the mayor of Lakewood, Washington, repeated concerns he had raised for years, warning that deaths were inevitable. “Come back when there is that accident, and try to justify not putting in those safety enhancements, or you can go back now and advocate for the money to do it, because this project was never needed and endangers our citizens,” Anderson said, according to KOMO
    Train 501 was going 81.1 mph moments before the derailment, the Associated Press reported.
    In an initial emergency call at 7:37 a.m., captured by Broadcastify.com, an operator at the rear of the train described the damage. “We’ve got cars everywhere and down onto the highway,” he radioed.

    Top 3 things I want to witness:

    1. A plane crash and explode
    2. A train derail at a high speed
    3. A human spontaneously combust
