Long for the good old days when it was just a drunk conductor...

Why make assumptions with no evidence?


Why not?

You side with them with no evidence to the contrary.

Now you're just making up BS with no evidence.
Why can't you just stick to reality?

reality is it's one of those things I listed (short an act of God)

You'll notice that I didn't assume one over the other, just pointing out given terrorisms proliferation, that it would be added to the typical list of options.

I guess next you'll try to tell us stereotypes are bad?

In many big city rail stations - particularly in commuter settings - incoming trains don't run past the station. They are shunted onto parallel sidings that line up adjacent to one another and actually end in the station. If someone messes up and does not brake the train, it will run smack into the cross platform in the station. If the train is traveling at a sufficient rate, it can pile up into the station building. Have never seen this, but often looked around and wondered what it would be like. Now, I know.


In 1953 at Union Station in Washington, DC a runaway ran into the station and fell through the floor into the basement.

The interesting part of this article is that within 2 days, they had the passenger cars pulled out, a temporary floor built and the engineer was back at work.

How long will it be before they settle the Hoboken crash? I'm sure the investigation will go on for years and they probably won't have the station open for at least a month. Lord knows when the engineer can go back to work, that's if he isn't locked up.
