  1. The story leaves many questions unanswered: Did the crossing have a warning device, such as flashing lights, bells, automatic gates? Were they functioning or did the truck driver ignore them? Was the truck driver impaired by illness, fatigue, alcohol or narcotics? Could the truck driver easily see the train coming or was the view obstructed? The Mickey Mouse News article includes little factual information from which one might characterize the mishap.

  2. Japan runs a lot more passenger trains than we do. How come they don't have all these accidents?

  3. Shredded those ties like carrots 😮 Another good reason to have alternative train options besides "scamtrak" 😮

  4. The truck driver blew a 3.1 on the Intoximeter.

  5. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IDIOTS ARE ALLOWED TO "READ THE NEWS". "MORONIC TRUCK DRIVER PULLS IN FRONT OF TRAIN – GETS STRUCK" There I fixed your headline for you. You would think "Professional Wordsmith's" like a worldwide news organization could accurately describe a news headline but not when there are personal politics involved I see. I say the clowns here deserve a C- at best for "news reporting". If they can't be truthful with the headline then the whole "news story" becomes clouded in doubt. That is a major problem in this country. Far too many good people are duped by these "sirens" reading political propaganda out loud to you and disguising it as "news and current events".

  6. What is with IDIOT TRUCK DRIVERS in this country?????

  7. That is not the Pacific Surfliner. That is the coast starlight fro LA to Seattle

  8. Joey that’s your train, you have road what 100billion miles like you said. Fix this Joey!

  9. why do these things keep crashing!?

  11. Water truck should not have been on the track

  12. why was that water truck on the rail?!

  13. They will make a movie about it and they will be rich.

  14. This is what happens when you let train employees unionize.

  15. Wouldn’t have happened had they upgraded the tracks……….they had the opportunities in the past in the last twenty years. Each time got rejected by the brilliant liberal lawmakers

  16. Way too many ads on this show. I’m done with you ABC. And most are pharmaceuticals pushing pills on Americans, shame on you.

  17. We should send more money to Ukraine so they can fix our rails, roads, and bridges!

  18. Where is Pete butahead

  19. Trump and the Fascist Republican Party roved railroad regulations to favor the owners. Now, dangerous railroad accidents are a daily hazard. The GOP cares nothing about killing people, poisoning our waterways, and the othe disasterpus r affects from the derailments but the wealthy executives are raking in tremendous profits from putting we citizens at risk. The GOP is the most dangerous threat the US has ever faced.
