A high-speed Amtrak train derailed onto Interstate 5 between Tacoma and Olympia Monday. Casualties and injuries are reported. Drivers are being told to avoid the area and expect alternate routes to be backed up.

Thanks for the map link.
It looks like the train track does an “S” curve over the freeway with two pretty sharp curves on each side.
Finding the max. speed limits there will be interesting.
This would be I-5, not I-95. About 3000 miles away.
I was wondering that as well - Fox must not have a station in Seattle..?! Nobody with a drone?
Haven't watched 'news' for years but they don't seem to be trying very hard.
Also noticed what seems to be a lot of gawkers in uniform standing around doing nothing but watching and getting paid.
Aerial shots started and are being shown on fox and cnn
How can Fake News CNN possibly blame Trump?
Unbelievable lying fake news @ssh*les.....
“Obama has a train and a rail.”
Can’t wait for Jerry Shitbrindlebrown to ride his inaugural bullet train...over that bridge.
Wasn't there some sort of beef out there where the unions/antifa didn't want a new port facility to start operating?
I dimly recall some groups threatening harm to the railroads in the area.
Youngsters in the San Fernando Valley liked to roll shopping carts in front of the Metrolinks. Made quite a racket.
He’s reducing regulations and inspections they say. So stupid that a great successful builder would be to blame for that. I hate the media.

vid cap here shows 30mph signs
Of course, it’s gotta be Trump’s fault. LOL
Fox reporting they may have hit a truck? But where exactly?
Looks like the train hit something on the track. Location, on an overpass to make it worse, speaks like a deliberate act. Who could have done it? A) Islamic Terrorists? They were ordered to strike at this time of year. And strike in ways so as to escape death and fight again. B) Eco-Terrorists who hated this RR line and fought to stop it. C) Anti-Capitalist Leftists? Then again, it might be an accident—But it smells bad-—Like an act for a political motive.
Said they had a ribbon-cutting Friday and today was the inaugural run.
The truck was a container semi down on the interstate. The train engine ran over the front of the truck cab. It was clearly shown on Fox TV
If it got knocked off the tracks by a meteor they would figure out how to blame it on Trump. And, of course, the usual nodding heads would nod. You just cannot take the legacy media seriously anymore.
If intentional, it wouldn’t be the first time a truck was left on the tracks intentionally: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Glendale_train_crash
Word on Twitter which is being MASSIVELY CENSORED...
ANTIFA has a track record of sabotaging train tracks, it’s on their own blog.
It’s up to them and their lawyers (the FBI has been alerted) to explain why they thought it was cool to brag about pouring concrete on a train track.
Listening to the radio, they said it was traveling a little over 81 mph and the speed limit in that area was/is 79 mph. Don’t know if that matters much.
