So this has absolutely nothing to do with the derailment. I was on a train at an airport at O'Hare last week. I'm lucky to be alive.

Final Destination


My friend's wife (no pics) travels that route to get to work, but was off today. Last week, her brakes went out on her car before she got onto the interstate.

That's some true Final Destination shite

18 page guide on how to derail a train, recently published in the Jihadist magazine "Inspire"

"The magazine also features a detailed 18-page-long guide on how to build a "derail tool" with cardboard, an empty plastic container, part of a rubber tyre, pipes, iron wires, screws, sheet metal, and cement. The apparatus does not require any electronic or construction tools so followers can "remove any traces for suspicion."

This is why I sit towards the middle to back, though I suppose the back could be rammed from a trailing train but that seems like a less likely incident.
