Look at the events before you do that, however. Look back over the last 6-8 weeks at the number of train derailments, and compare that to the previous average. Look at things like the removal of track pieces. Is that what it seems?
Power outages, and the way they are reported. Bolts missing from the bases of HV transmission towers. Insulators "failing".
You may think that it's an over reaction, but you're going to have to accept that we are all (to a degree) looking at EVERYTHING. There is a lot of information that has been discounted, but also a lot that hasn't.
i agree with absolutely everything you've written. however, i don't think that merits an immediate "oh god, they're hitting the trains/whatever" every time we hear something like that.
