which also has a link to an even earlier mention of stolen derailers

I am mostly concerned about the post in this tread saying that any eyewitness on the scene last night reporting not only a crater, but an FBI presence keeping people away from it... yet, immediately, there is a narrative saying that this was definitely not terrorism.
Somewhere out there I am sure there is a YouTube video, or a Draw Mohammed event that this might be blamed on.... but the first agenda to fill will be to say that our transportation infrastructure is crumbling, or there was some "failure in training"... or since most of these injuries and deaths were a result of people and objects flying all over the place inside the car.... some Federal edict will come out with even more ridiculous crashworthiness directives, full carbody interior hazard evaluation studies and retrofitting... and of course the ever popular "This would not have happened if we had Positive Train Control" narrative.
I look forward to the facts here.
Having been on-site doing investigation for many, MANY derailments, it's not that difficult to put the pieces together if it was a mechanical, operational, or track failure.
