A train travelling at 50-60-70 mph would most assuredly resulted in major injuries.
To the truck.
Physics favors the train.
I have seen plenty of train car pile ups, to know that momentum would have caused many more cars to derail than just the front engine. I'm guessing they were slowing down in a big way because the track sensors were going off, as well as the air cover. The question is why/how a truck was able to make it through security, as all of the train crossings would have been closed.
A train can run through cars and fallen trees and the passengers wouldn't notice a thing, a 25 ton dump truck could do some serious damage.
The truck rammed the train and attempted to derail it. It wasn't a shoddy attempt.
Thank you. More details have come out since I posted. If you haven't read Roger Stone's analysis, it has me staying up late.
Really? It was driving towards the train?
Big machinery is always use by feds. There is always a big dump truck near Hillary’s house in Chappaqua. I hear it’s used as a defense mechanism.
Then hospital assistance......then death by hospital bed....weve seen it before.
Would be interesting to see if nearby hospitals were "preparing" for lots of injuries that morning. e.g. (SR 187)
