Nope. No terrorism involved of any kind.
The train was going 81mph and the curve was 30mph.

Trains going 81mph cannot negotiate 30mph curves gracefully...

And next up is the question why it was going 81... Was Casey Jones
trying to put it into Olympia on time? If it is determined to be
excess speed that will avoid the question of if the refurbished
freight rails were furbished correctly.


They are probably checking the engineer's Facebook page to see if he was
updating it while approaching the curve.

It was the inaugural run after all. He was making history! I don't want
to rush to judgment but if the train was indeed doing 81 mph someone has
some 'splaining to do.

....start with a well supervised **** test -- blood test. I believe
both are required by law after incidents like this. (Casey Jones has
no choice)

And. More 'splaining

After the Philly wreck there was by law, AMTRAK was to have positive
control train controls installed in all trains by 2015. That got
pushed back some have reported.

I can't drive a train, maybe they'll let me toot the horn.
