@Hot Water posted:Don't know what/who you are talking about but, my last post is still there. By the way, I currently HAVE a "drink"!
One needs a drink to try and make any sense of the absurdity of several of the comments on this thread. There was an AP article on NPR where an expert summed it up best. To quote:
Allan Zarembski, director of the University of Delaware's Railway Engineering and Safety Program, said he didn't want to speculate but suspected the derailment stemmed from an issue with the train track, equipment, or both.
Until a thorough review of the above is completed, the rest is pointless speculation. At this time, the loss of life, injuries to passengers, and pain to all those personally affected seems to be where the focus should be while the people who are on the ground doing the forensics figure this out.
