The wheels were on fire 20 miles before the train derailed. https://news.yahoo.com/video-appears-show-ohio-train-173700594.html
Those electronic brakes would not have stopped that axle from catching fire and breaking, leading to the derailment. That's shoddy maintenance right there.
And they weren't far from the Conway rail yard (their destination). I'm certain they said just push through and drag it to the yard a few miles ahead rather than stop and block rail traffic.
Here's the aforementioned proposal:
Going by the official narrative, the train engineer was ordered by dispatch to keep moving despite the burning wheel. Would having an additional crew member changed dispatch's decision? I am unconvinced.
It's an Obama era regulation. Given what we know about Hussein's administration, I'm going to trust Trump on this and assume that Obama rule was never there for actual safety reasons.
No. The railways haven't enough workers that can do the mandatory 3000-6000 mile inspections....Some cars have been on the rails over 20,000 miles w/o inspection. Paraphrased from a Breitbart caller @ 7:00 a.m. this morning.
I wouldnt trust my car to go 1000 miles without making sure it's safe to drive. How is even 3000 miles sensible?
Read this article and discuss. If we cannot occasionally admit Trump made a mistake then we are failing Q's prime directive to use common sense and logic.
But it still falls on the railroad company I say. Just because they can make an unsafe decision, doesn't mean they should.
Of course. But I was wanting g my fellow anonymous to help determine of this was a factor or not.
How about the movie just put out recently before the train derailment. "White Noise". Almost the same incident in the same town where the train derailed. I believe there are no coincidences. I think it was planned. Nothing to do with President Trump.
There's always an active shooter drill right before a school shooting too.
