Derailment can be a result of sabotage. The location is near major food and water sources. So while not exactly a conspiracy yet, it seems important to understand exactly what occurred in this derailment.
Also a lack of proper physical safety measures. Known safety improvements that were recently blocked[0] specifically the requirement to run hazards/flammable liquids with ECP Brakes which reducing stopping distance by >50% and also prevent cars from building pressure in between better braking cars and derailing.
That's what makes it such a great target. The decaying state of our infrastructure makes it easy to sabotage in subtle ways and then blame it on negligence.
Just out of curiosity, what sort of response are you expecting here? "I know the difference between reality and fantasy! The space aliens explained it all to me years ago."
None really - it was a joke. Claiming that the bush administration was lying about iraq having weapons of mass destruction would have been called a conspiracy theory, yet in time, we learned it was true.
I agree with you. I updated my original comment because I screwed up the wording.
I don’t know. Someone who was an extra could have easily been inspired by the movie to carry out this sabotage just a year later. It doesn’t take much to derail a train, I could go derail a train right now if I wanted to. You just need key bits of knowledge. Quick visit to a hardware store.
