And when they interviewed the engineer, Achmed "Casey" Mohammed Al-Fathoub, he said that his "...student visa had three more months" and "Allah Bless America."

I guess there was nothing to this story? Haven't seen an update for a number of posts now.

Time to check the shower?

Northbrook is not near, or on the same train line as, Des Plains.

I actually take the commuter train (metra) home to work on this same railroad track. Sounds like its just some dude trying to beat the train.

Just seen it on CBS 2 Chicago seems that it was a train vs truck crash in northwest suburban Northbrook it was an AMTRAK which is AMWRECK. Weird cuz on the local Chicago radio Roe Conn was talking about AMWRECK and how it seems odd that the coverup NTSB agency is going about as normal.

Heck, I don't even drink coffee. I NEED MORE COCA COLA!!!!! If you know what bank I was talking about, you'd be cautious. LOL I would only mention it privately.

Besides, I worked with attorneys for years so as you can imagine, I do not trust anyone as a rule. I do not trust, attorneys, plaintiffs, defendants, judges, mediators, terrorists, democrats like Tommy Dashall, you know what I mean? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!

>I have a better plan for security anyway. Concealed carry laws making it legal to carry a concealed firearm.

Thousands, or even millions, of people commute to work into our major cities by train. These commuter trains, it seems, would be trivially easy to sabotage (well, to my non-terrorist eyes the tracks would be easy to get jiggy with).

Even if all those people riding the trains were carrying Thompson guns, when the wheels roll off the tracks, the gats are not going to be of much help...

Imagine them trying to watch train stations and bus terminals.

No problemo. Just have to federalize a nationwide crew of train inspectors.

hmmm... come to think of it, this is just a conspricy by dems to get another cadre of govt workers/voters

This appears to be a "train hits truck" story.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
