These derailments happen a lot more than what people realize - and there is no reporting. Yes, some are sabotage. But most derailments are just accidents - although greedy railroad companies and lax regulations have increased their numbers. There have already been well over a dozen derailments just this year before E. Palestine. Nobody heard about those derailments outside of local news coverage. There are somewhere between 1k and 2k train derailments a year. This is according to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. I suppose all of those crashes were planned DS operations as well. When looking at the world with nothing but a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Grand conspiracy does not apply where simple negligence and incompetency along with greed fits the bill.

Food processing plants are a different story.
