The Crozet, Virginia train crash was a railway accident that occurred on January 31, 2018.
A chartered Amtrak train named Congressional Special Train 923, following the route normally used by the Amtrak Cardinal and carrying a group of politicians and lawmakers from the Republican Party, collided with a garbage truck at a level crossing at Lanetown Road in Crozet, Virginia, 12 miles (19 km) west of Charlottesville, Virginia.
The train was chartered by Republican lawmakers for transportation from Washington Union Station to an annual retreat at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.[2]
Several politicians brought their spouses and children with them for the trip; no members of the general public were passengers.

Last Saturday, a Norwegian Air flight from Oslo to Munich, Germany, had to turn around early into its journey because of a problem with the toilets. Seems like a standard problem that would happen on a plane, right? Well, the reason why this particular incident is making the rounds is because of who was onboard: about 85 plumbers on their way to a trade event.
Rorkjop chief executive Frank Olsen, who was on the plane with about 70 of his company’s plumbers, told the Washington Post that “seldom has there been more laughter in an airplane … when the reason given is ‘toilet problems.’” (There was nothing to be done in mid-air, as the issue required repair from outside the plane.)
It’s just like Alanis Morissette sang: “It’s like rain on your wedding day / It’s a plane full of plumbers waylaid by toilet problems.”
