Fox just said that CSX has said they have no information regarding any involvement of any of their trains. They’d likely know by now, so there appears to be no basis for those reports of a collision with a CSX train.

I would think that is SOP in any kind of incident like this. Not saying it isnt terrorism, but I wouldn’t use that info as evidence of terrorism.

After the wall feel the trabants were a dime a dozen.
The Trabant was based on what was going to be a Fiat (as in Fix It Again, Tony) back in the late 50's early 60's. But it was so poorly engineered and obsolete, even the suits at Fiat were too embarrassed to build it. It made the Yugo look good.

I thought that was weird when I first heard it mentioned. Seems it wasn’t mentioned even for an hour. I would think there would be discussion of other damaged, possibly derailed freight cars by now. Not a word.

CNN reports Terrorism has been “ruled out”

That’s basically what I meant.

[Mom MD]

Now that is the first real indication we may be dealing with a terrorist attack.

I so tire of Moslem terrorism being brought up at every single incident.

Fat chance. Noone can accept that crud just happens, or that it isn’t Moslem MO.

BREAKING NEWS: SEVERAL FATALITIES AND MORE THAN 100 INJURED FOLLOWING AMTRAK DERAILMENT

Hope there’s no fatalities on this train. Looks like there could be some. Praying for all involved.

As for the survivors, how do they retrieve their personal property after an incident like this. I’ve always wondered about the after form something like this.

[matthew fuller]

For whatever that’s worth. No reflection on you. And I’m not suspecting terrorism yet, but not discounting it either. There was a post earlier about a request for explosive sniffing dogs, which might be a normal precaution.

Bump! Wasn’t there some report recently that the military had raised the force protection condition because of a threat from ISIS?

[BenLurkin]

Hey....I dont’ work for CNN!

[tcrlaf]

Senior rail official tells @NBCNews there were “several fatalities” in Philadelphia Amtrak crash. 50+ taken to hospitals; 200+ on board.

I just hope that this was an ordinary accident, as bad as it now sounds like it might be. We really don’t need a terrorist sabotage thing.

They are amazing, aren't they? Rescue still going on, hospitals still admitting victims, and CNN's thorough "investigation" has already ruled out terrorism.

CNN was reporting that the FBI has ruled it out.
