The reporting in that video is cringeworthy. Is this how they do the news in your country?
How many car crashes do we have in a day?I've heard that trains are one of the safer ways to travel.
I'm seriously doubting that "fact" right now.
Seems like we're getting a derailment every other month. It's ridiculous!
Hi everybody.
The difference between accidents on the road and accidents on the rail would be as follows.
1) When travelling by car on the road you trust in your own non-professional skills or that of someone else to get you to your destination, hence many accidents.
2) When travelling by rail as a passenger you pay a professional transport organization with skilled professional staff to get you to your destination safely, hence very few accidents, or at least that is the way it should be.
But not with Amtrak at present it would seem.

Bill,
Spot on, but not on Amtrak this time.
According to this tweet here it wasn't their fault:
NTSB investigating derailment today of Amtrak train in Vermont that appears to have collided with a rock slide. 2 cars derailed.

We had the remnants of Hurricane Joaquin, not as a hurricane but more of a long wet weekend. We probably received more than an inch of rain during that period with that area in Vermont receiving more than I did on the coast. Where the crash occurred, it's about 300 miles northwest of me up in the hills of the Green Mountains.

Hi again John and everybody.
John, if Amtrack where running an adequate safety regime poor weather procedure would have been incorporated in to the company dynamic risk assessments. In the UK poor weather by way of heavy rain causing land slippage is very much a factor on our railway network.
During and following any bad weather drivers are instructed to run at speeds within the distance they can visually see and stop until a full track inspection can be carried out. The forgoing causes long delays but keeps everyone safe (I know as I have been on trains following that procedure all to often). However it keeps everyone safe and that is the most prominent purpose of any safety regime in passenger transport.

It's more reliable than the Clinton News Network...or 95% of the rest of the U.S. media.
