How does an accident like this happen? Oh wait......LOL Norfolk Southern sure is accident prone.

NS: Just sign here and we will have independent people come in and do testing at no charge after our train derailed and we decided to poison your environment. We really mean it. Just sign here.

WTH?

“How does an accident like this happen?”

Doing a little research I found this. Admittedly this particular quote is from Yahoo, but it’s consistent through all the resources available on-line.

“From 1990, the first year the BTS began tracking derailments and injuries on a yearly basis, to 2021, there have been 54,539 accidents in which a train derailed. That’s an average of 1,704 derailments per year.”

That’s pretty remarkable! But then there are a lot of trains and a lot of rail mileage in the .S. every day....

Government/corporate corruption and media that will cover it up. I heard yesterday that the federal DOT guy-But-what’s his name, is complaining that the press is over reporting! The lapdog media has created odd expectations in our elected leaders.
