When were these numbers pulled and from where? Color me skeptical about this data. Was it recently altered to indicate all current events are perfectly normal???
I don't ever recall hearing about this many derails. And I do not believe they occur every 1.5 hours in the U.S. I've typically heard maybe 3-4 per year. Nothing like what we're seeing here.
OP, pls note I am not questioning you at all. Greatly appreciate this find. I'm just questioning the source as it sounds like a major spin job to indicate current events are all normal and copacetic
Ill say this, in the middle of 2020 i ordered ammo that the shipment was delayed on. The reason for the delay was a train derailment. I thought that was odd and looked into how often it happens and the statistics were staggering, up in the thousands per year. So i believe the media is just reporting on them more since the ohio event.
