The 50 years was also an important qualifier. The UP City of San Francisco was destroyed by sabotage, but it was more than 50 years ago.

At about 10:32 P.M. on August 12, 1939, westbound train No. 101, consisting of 14 cars carrying 149 passengers, approached a bridge over the Humboldt River. Sometime earlier that day, someone had removed the splice bars at a rail joint 165 feet east of the bridge. The rails were pried out of alignment and deliberately re-spiked nearly five inches out of gauge.

Totals were killed 24 and injured 121. Probable cause was an ongoing labor dispute against the railroad.

What a suprise - the weasel qualified his statement to exclude that act of clear sabotage.
