Very short response: ISIS bombed the rail line.

It “caught fire” and then left the tracks, according to the article.

So how long before some gov’t/media dolt asks the same question, “ Is it homegrown saboteurs or from abroad”?

"The crash happened during a test run in the town of Eckwersheim, on a new Paris-Strasbourg line. Reports say technicians were on board the train."

Unusual coincidence, but if the explosion was actually on the train, more likely it was the same French engineering that has made Renault, Peugeot and Citroën such popular brands in the US than ISIS. They might still claim responsibility, of course.

Five people have been killed as a train derailed and caught fire in Eckwersheim near Strasbourg in France. Rescue teams are working at the site.
A high-speed TGV train derailed in Eckwersheim in the Bas-Rhin department of Alsace in northeastern France mid-afternoon on Saturday.

Local officials told AFP that five people died in the accident, which was apparently caused by “excessive speed.”

Local media reports there are injured, but the numbers aren’t clear yet. Several people have been airlifted from the scene on a helicopter, RTL reports.

There has been no official confirmation on the casualties. A source close to the investigation told AFP that 60 technicians were on board the train when the accident happened.

The SNCF state service has confirmed that the accident occurred, but didn’t provide further details, according to the paper.

The accident happened on a new high-speed line between Paris and Strasbourg, which hadn’t been used before.

The train derailed while on a bridge and the cars fell into the Marne-Rhine canal, according to witness reports. Photos from the scene show smoke coming from the carriages.

There have been no terror-related reports.

Inviting all those islamic “refugees” in and giving them all sorts of stuff is turning out to be a real game winner.
