An Amtrak train derailed and fell off a bridge over Interstate 5 near Mounts Road between Lakewood and Olympia. Interstate 5 is completely closed in both directions and dozens of first responders are headed that way, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. It’s not yet known if there are injuries, officials said. Amtrak tweeted that it was train No. 501 that derailed.

I wonder if Omelet was on the train and if she was killed.

Terrible. Praying for the friends and family affected.

Any of the SJWs that may have been injured can just identify as those that were not hurt. Problem solved.

Infrastructure bill now!

that does not look good. Was this due to snow/inclement weather in the area?

Not saying someone did this on purpose. But what are the odds that out of all the miles that this train which runs through nothing but woods it just happens to derail right on top of an interstate?

Since it is a bridge it might have a higher probability

I'm no train expert so I can't say. It just popped in my mind that it was an awefully big coincidence that this train derailed right on top of the interstate.
ETA: I want to stress again that I'm not saying this was Terrorism or intentional. Although we have to admit it's entirely possible.
