There is no such thing as an accident, according to all safety authorities, including NTSB. There are always dozens of preventable near misses for each actual disaster. And why, I ask, can vinyl chloride be transported by train at all? Why isn’t it made into PVC right next door to where it is synthesized?

Even suicidal airplane pilots and terrorists give clues ahead of time. And the same is true for gun massacres. (Edwards Deming taught us this about quality excursions in manufacturing. Stomp on them before they go over the line.) We have to make this all illegal, with serious punishments.

We of the Truth Brigade take up hate in each form that it manifests. Now, for example, haters blame Biden, Buttigieg, the National Transportation Safety Board, and even “wokeism” for the toxic train derailment actually caused by their own insane stupidity, railroad greed, and TFG corruption.

The proximate cause of the wreck is that high temperature readings about a train axle bearing, from sensors on the track, were not allowed through to the train crew until it was too late. When they finally were allowed to receive the third such alert, at a temperature that could start fires, they immediately slowed down, but the axle gave way before they could stop.

We also know a great deal more about other toxic materials on the train from official documents rather than idle or even malicious speculation.
