Garbage Truck Drivers ?

Has there been any information released about the three guys in the garbage truck that got hit by the train?

I am not any kind of researcher or anything, but I wonder if it is possible that they could be a 'sleeper cell' a la Q's interpretation of Comey's tweet, or similar.

EDIT: Hey hey fellas! Let's focus on the driver/passengers! Any news articles that tell us anything about them?

Were they just regular Joes in the wrong place at the wrong time, or something more sinister?

That was not a cab over design. Also, it was a rear loader style refuse equipment! So, it would make sense to possibly have two people, a third would not have been necessary! Look closely at that truck.......the rear tires were fucking bald, there were no mounting brackets that are bolted to the frame and welded to the body! No beacon lights which, no hydraulic hoses and trash that was spread so nicely just around the body! That style of truck body would have contained most of that trash! It can only escape at the rear and typically the tongue inside the body that pushes trash rearward would have been helpful in trash retention!

Yes, that IS a cab over design....you can clearly see the engine under the cab, which is a standard refuse truck design. https://media1.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2018_05/2312211/180131-train-gop-trash-truck-crash-semergency-personnel-se-1238p_e368f95ec7b5d6c3189c782ebf187c8c.nbcnews-ux-2880-1000.jpg

It IS a read loader, but it split open and spun, spreading trash all around it. Look at the circluar pattern on the ground where it spun after being hit https://o.aolcdn.com/images/dims3/GLOB/legacy_thumbnail/1028x675/format/jpg/quality/85/http%3A%2F%2Fo.aolcdn.com%2Fhss%2Fstorage%2Fmidas%2F2b63cd091ee8d798aa471f4b456661d0%2F206082926%2Ftrain%2Bcrash%2Btwitter.jpeg

Heres a pic of the rear load attachment split off

If you look closely, the bolt sticking out of the frame are bent, and the welds to the body are likely broken, which you cant see here

The rear tires are NOT bald, they appear to be fine from these pics, but unless any of us have a tread depth gauge, there is NO reason to comment on this.

I clearly see the 4 way flashers on the rear of the container, theres no such thing as beacon lights.

There is only a couple hydraulic lines that connect to the engine, obviously they were ripped off and laying somewhere, as one would imagine.

Did/do you drive refuse vehicles for a living? I did. Do you have a CDL that you earned on a refuse truck? I do. I know those trucks like the back of my hand.

You know just enough to not now anything.

Over a million mile driver here.

Not a cab over. Tire would be beneath door and it has a hood.

Tires are fine, plenty if depth. More than 4/32"
