The train was a high-speed underground train on the new Paris to Strasbourg line.
It derailed near the German border at Eckwersheim.

Derailment at a bridge crossing.
Classic terrorist move.
I’m saying this was no coincidence.

The west, despite all the political bluster, is low hanging fruit for terrorist warfare. Just as guerrilla warfare is difficult for massed armies to combat, terrorism by its very nature is always in the shadows and can pop out at any time. Eternal vigilance is the price we pay for freedom both at home and away.

I didn’t think it looked like a derailment, either. Pieces of the cars seem to be separated more than I’d expect.

It “caught fire” and then left the tracks, according to the article.
To: FourPeas
The TGV trains ain't your normal choo choo.
The TGV holds the world speed record for conventional trains. On 3 April 2007 a modified TGV POS train reached 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) under test conditions on the LGV Est between Paris and Strasbourg.

Probably the same FBI guy, that moments after the Boston bombing, he rationalized in his years of experience that it was the work of some right wing group.

Then, I hear some fbi expert telling some cnn assclowns that itâs nearly impossible to obtain AK-47âs in France but you can buy them from just about anyone in Afghanistan. This proves the old adage, "When guns are outlawed, then only outlaws will have guns.".........The Left's mantra 'We must have more Gun Control' is going down in flames, literally................

Yes, that was my thought. It looks blown in half. And to bits, for that matter.
To: PghBaldy
So how long before some gov’t/media dolt asks the same question, “ Is it homegrown saboteurs or from abroad”?

Could have been a bomb on that bridge that ‘derailed’ the train when it crossed.

The AFP news agency is quoting sources as saying the derailment happened due to "excessive speed".source

That is NOT a ‘derailment’... that train was blown off the tracks!
