CROZET, Va. (AP) — In a story Jan. 31 about a fatal train crash carrying dozens of Republican members of Congress, The Associated Press, relying on information from a congressman at the scene, misidentified who was killed in the pickup truck. It was a passenger who died, not the driver.

A corrected version of the story is below:

Train carrying GOP lawmakers strikes trash truck; 1 killed

> What “pickup truck?”

That’s a fnord that tells OM agents to de-emphasize the size of the dump truck.

“The arms were known to sometimes malfunction....”

“A guy was up here just yesterday or the day before taking a look at them,” according to the owner of the lot where the accident happened.

I bet.

So that's why they call it Ass Press.

First pickup truck I ever saw that had 10 wheels.

And a dump truck body.

The AP cannot tell us the truth—it was an attack on the GOP.

How does someone own a railroad crossing? What lot?

The railroad would have a permanent easement for its tracks and gates.

Dr. Jerome Corsi is saying that there was +200 republican congress people on the train. It was also hit from the rear by a second truck.

Qanon is saying the train was heading to a bunker for tomorrow which is when the Memo will be released.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day

Since the President was not on board as expected, the explosives were not detonated?

Tin foil. I know.

What kind of garbage truck has that many people on board? I’ve never seen more than one person - the driver - in any garbage truck unless they are training someone. Then it’s two guys.

An early witness reported a lurch followed by a second one. I remember thinking "what was that?"

I was just over reading Qs posts.

Engineer was warned of truck by helicopter and started to slow down? Or drone?

Rep Marshall a doctor, said on Fox or CNN that he saw what he assumed was the driver walking away from the truck, uninjured... Sen. Flake reported the same.

I’m assuming that the ‘2 passengers’ were on the back of the truck.

If true, may have saved many lives and serious injuries.

Terrorist attack by deep state?
