So many deaths and injuries could be prevented if only trains and school buses would install seat belts. What’s so hard about that.
Count me out of riding trains… and planes.
Thank you Eli's Dad for being so Respectful to the
truck drivers Family, Thank You to Eli at 15 yrs old
to give comfort and aid to the driver and
those other Boy Scouts Troop 73 & Troop 12 in
Appleton and others that helped people
involved in that accident where people
lost their lives and others injured in one
way or another..Condolences to the Families
of those lost and prayers for the injured
and their Families and to those also that
just experienced this tragic accident.
AMTRAK CREW 2022 !!
We're just a Amtrak crew
Racing down the track
Far from our families
Who will miss us till we're back.
We're running by the river
As it flows muddy brown
Everywhere at nighty
Someone hears our sound.
As we glide across a silver bridge
Above the Mighty Mo.
What we'll see when we look down
We never really know.
Behind us on those rolling wheels
Are cars with souls inside
If we should jump the rail
History shall judge our ride.
When we reach the station
We’ll head for the hotel
Crawl in bed all by ourselves
And dream until the bell.

Now they'll unhook biden from his life support so he can bloviate about roe v. Wade. Ah can't you just feel the unity?
Chez les gendarmes du monde que le train est déraillé, c'est pire que les pays du tiers monde, c'est incroyable pour un pays riche
Oh
China can help!
What caused derailment? 😲
Amtrak is trash…false flag for more government pork courtesy of the American taxpayers!!
I thought we had our independence long before the British empire could have left us with railroads we're still using? Maybe we should share parts with India, the Middle East, and Africa?
My neck and my back
What's really weird is NBC said there was over "240 passengers on the Amtrak", on their first news broadcast. This broadcast, was 2 hours after that, (also posted by NBC), and it says there was 207 passengers. Hmmm.
While I was living in Europe for 16 years, I have personally seen that in Germany and France, Concrete Rail Road Ties are always used because the Concrete Ties hold the Trains on the Tracks much more securely.
The wooden Ties rot out after time even after being treated with Creosote wood preservative and the Bolts pull out which causes the Rail to be loose.
The wooden Ties are not able to withstand the extreme Stress of the Train hitting the Dump Truck. This why the Train De- Railed.
Take a look at "Rail Construction Trains in Germany" on YouTube. I believe that you will find this very interesting to watch.
These Rail Construction Trains in Germany are over 2 miles long. This special Construction Train automatically takes up the old Railroad Ties and the old gravel, then at the same time, places the new Concrete Ties down, precisely spaced from the last Tie, and then puts down new gravel, then the Rail is replaced, to begin with. Extremely complicated Machinery.
The Germans are far more advanced in Railroad Technology than the Americans are.
Please stop with the at grade crossings.
It's Trump's fault
We are one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world but there are still areas that don't have crossing barriers, flashing lights,etc. at their crossings? What happened, the funds that could have been spent on that ended up in some elected official's bank account or something?
I thought planes few and weren't involved in derailments.
I see an Amish man assisting.
Dump truck! Pretty big thing to hit. Esp if full
Time to ban trains.
Just goes to show you that there are some people who shouldn't be allowed to operate or own any kind of Motor vehicle with wheels not 10 wheels not 8 wheels not 6 wheels not 4 wheels countdown beginning at 3 wheels 2 wheels Not even a unicycle Blastoff & see the Stupid train Derailed Why can't they build a Train that can run on roads and streets instead of 2 Skinny rails🤪🤣🤪😜😜😀🤣🤪
That’s a fender bender!
I really don’t understand how ANYONE can drive a vehicle through a railroad crossing without looking for a train. It always baffles me how someone will break down on the tracks or get hit by a train, absolute idiots.
It’s the Missouri compromise 🫢🤦♂️oh god …. 🙄
My prayers go to everyone in that train but why couldn’t Joe Biden be on the train why why why why why
rusia did it
Crashes happen from rusia's doings.
Please deportate all rusians asap
And fight rusia physically
Was a Johnson on board???
Sir Topman Hatt will NOT be amused!!!
0:22 he literally called the train "a plane"
He said plane
Im beyond curious how the engines themselves for the most part didn't derail, but all the passengers did? Was the train traveling backwards or?
IF YOU PAY ATTENTION AND LOOK CAREFULLY AT BOTH TRACKS WHERE THIS TRAIN DE- RAILED,
YOU CAN VERY CLEARLY SEE THAT THE RAIL ROAD TIES ON THIS SECTION OF TRACKS ARE WOOD, NOT CONCRETE.
WOOD RAIL ROAD TIES ARE BROWN COLOR.
THE CONCRETE RAIL ROAD TIES ARE WHITE COLOR.
SEE FOR YOURSELVES.
beautiful scenery
0:23 he called it a plane
😢♥
Fake news
Hey buddy, that's a TRAIN not a PLANE.
Does the US have a major railroad crossings problem? I saw many reports on the florida brightline as well. After watching these crossing i could not believe that this is allowed in a modern country. You can not trust idiots to stop, you have to make them to stop in the first place. "The weakest links " approach i would say.
