stop lying to yourself, gramps. apparently you have a whole lot of things to say to me, just nothing on topic. again, seek help.



not true. it quotes a former federal railroad administration regulator. and it's not like it doesn't give a reasonably intelligent viewer plenty of clues what to read up on (mentioning the national transportation safety board (ntsb) / class II chemicals / high hazard flammable trains / electronically controlled pneumatic brakes (ecp) / trump's department of transportation repealing obama's brake rule...) - if they were genuinely interested in researching the topic, and not just trying to make silly little excuses for corrupt politicians and corporations.

Ahhh... Trump bad... Obama good. LOL

fact: obama introduced a rule to make trains with dangerous cargo safer, which trump overturned due to pressure / legalised bribery of an industry. do you deny that?

Still nothing tying the brakes to the derailment. For all we know... part of the tracks could have heaved due to winter ground movement.
Pelosi could have stolen some railroad spikes.

Point is we don't KNOW. All we have is some left leaning website listing things that they haven't proved are related.

it is conjecture indeed, but people want to know why trains like that dont have the best POSSIBLE security standards

as i said earlier, operating like that is more or less the norm unfortunately

what i really would like to know is why this accident is not getting more attention

the burning of the vinyl chloride at the scene gives people a false sense of security, plenty of very toxic products are now spread.....maybe thats why?

A few conjectures of my own...

1. Maybe the new brakes "aren't" better. Maybe it was just some political sleight of hand. Trying to give a contract to a friend's corporation.
2. This isn't some generic car accident. We really don't have any idea WHY the train derailed.
3. Maybe Obama was trying to bankrupt the railroads, knowing they didn't need the new brakes, but trying to force it anyway.
4. A lot of what Obama did... looked good on the surface, but turned out to have hidden pitfalls.
5. A boulder could have rolled onto the track, and after the derailing there was too much mess to discover that.
6. A track joint could have separated.


I could go on for hours... BUT, you could also think about "other" possibilities for yourself.

we KNOW that the brakes the obama administration wanted for trains carrying flammable / hazardous cargo like that do in fact lower the risk of derailment and limit the damage in case of one. we KNOW that the trump administration repealed the rule, and this specific train was therefore not fitted with such brakes.



but hey, keep shilling for the corrupt assholes privatising profits while endangering the general public with their greed, just because they are on your "team"...

Show me where this proof is, please.
I've even heard people claim... the Earth was flat !!

just spending one minute researching what ecp brakes are could have spared you that embarrassment, lol.

Show me, oh wise and powerful Oz.
You claim a lot of things.... and still haven''t linked one reputable source.
