My commentary: This raised my eyebrows for two reasons. 1. Train derailments seem to have become common in recent years and 2. Over the years, I've commented numerous times about my concerns about the Monarch Charter School for Homeless Children, the main train station (near which the derailing occurred), the Container Port and the Convention Center all being a very short walk from one another. I suspect that children are being moved between the port and trains, that they use the school as cover for moving children, and that children are pimped at convention activities.
