Is it just me or does it seem like train derailments are increasing ? I'm just guessing but i think its the same way in the NYC as it is where i live.
The company that will do the work of building and maintaining the trains for the least amount gets the job and then cuts corners to still get their profit.

Some pics(no gore though):

I was wondering if we would ever get the pictures they won't show on cnn. The US is really tight when it comes to getting the gore on camera and onto the internet. The families just sue the shit out of anyone when it comes to this.

They had somemore on the news tonight. Said that the engineer was dozing off and the train was going 81mph thru a 30 mph stretch of track. The engineer has only been on that shift for two weeks after working the other shift for years. So might not be train defect but human error.
