Fire officials say a CSX freight train crashed into a trash truck near Baltimore, causing an explosion that rattled homes at least a half-mile away and collapsed nearby buildings, setting them on fire.

All these derailments seem strange, I have to wonder if we are not under attack?

I didn’t see crumpled buildings in the aerial photo.

I guess the folks online and on Twitter will get a head start.

Someone said the trash truck was hauling magnesium? But what exploded?

There certainly have been a lot of them lately. But who would the perps be? Last time there was a flurry of these, it was ELF environazis out west.

If you have to ask ... you do not know.

Terrorist related?

Don’t expect Obozo to acknowledge this as terrorism. Workplace violence, on the other hand . . . . . . .

The last time I looked up the stats (which was the last time the press went on a spate of coverage) NTSB said we average 1 derailment every 18 hours in this country. The press slides through various “disasters” to cover on slow news days, for a while it’ll be derailments, car fires, shark attack, missing blondes. Doesn’t actually mean any of this stuff is happening more often than usual (and actually it’s often less than usual), just means that it’s that subject’s “turn”.

Philosophy major?

I don’t happen to believe in coincidences. When you don’t take care of infrastructure at some point in time it will fail. Nothing lasts forever.

But, of course, the government has other priorities like sending millions of dollars to countries that never did like us and won’t like or support us regardless of how much we send. When will they ever learn? When will the people of the U.S. learn?

Is It Any Wonder Why We Fall.

[no-to-illegals]

Just why?

Hurting ... the Wonder of It All.

It looks like maybe gasoline from the wreck drained into that building and then ignited perhaps? I don’t know why else the siding would have blown outwards like that.

I thought I’d hold my tongue until I saw a third one — now I’m getting that same feeling I got in February when we saw one 24/7 shooting after another.

Guess why ...
