DFW (17,770 posts) A friend of mine was in the Amtrak train wreckI just heard from him. He's alive, but not unscathed. He got some bruised ribs and some minor other injuries. He considers himself lucky. A woman a few feet away from him was completely crushed. Four Americans died at Benghazi. Eight Americans died in the Amtrak wreck.The Republicans in Congress are willing to spend months and tens of millions of OUR dollars pursuing the wraith of Benghazi, but won't spend a dime to bring our rail infrastructure up to standards that the Europeans and East Asians would have considered passé 20 years ago. Some people have their priorities ever so slightly ****ed up. We all know why. Amtrak hasn't declared for the Democratic nomination for President. This is not the best excuse for being perfectly willing for this to happen again next week.
If the DFW Dummy wants Congress to spend more money on Amtrak, they can start by putting up speed limit signs for Amtrak drivers.

The engineer accelerated from 70 to over 100 in the final minute or so. He's claiming he doesn't remember anything but so far hasn't talked to investigators. All communications with authorities have been through his lawyer.Sounds like he knows he ****ed up by surviving the crash.
I was wondering about that when I heard it. Why would he have accelerated unless 1) mechanical failure or 2) purposeful accident?
Attempted suicide/murder?
Fun Fact; the engineer that murdered 7 people and injured hundreds is a MILITANT GAY ACTIVIST.
Wouldn't it be something if he had recently converted?
He was supposedly a militant gay activist, so converting to Islam is unlikely. However, a search of his house and everything else wouldn't hurt.
