    not sure if it has been posted it or not

    Two commuter trains derail in suburban L.A., after apparently sideswiping each other. Some passengers believed to be trapped. Details soon.

          Yeah its ugly...
          I hope none are dead, but things dont look good.

          how the hell do two trains sideswipe each other???
          Someone fell asleep at the switch...

          we can send a rocket into the sky
          and hurl a satelite through a gazzlion miles of space
          have it eject a lil ball that falls to the surface on Mars...
          ball bouncess all over hell and back
          then out climbs a lil 6x6 tractor robot that collects data for months on end
          and sends that data back to earth on a daily basis...

          and yet, we still cant keep simple stuff down here from runnin into each other... How we dont have some auto switching/shutdown systems with failsafes galore on these trains is just beyond me.....

              they had a couple that failed and never made it. i guess here on earth the chance for human error is greater than in space. usually they get one shot and test for years for that one shot. we half ass stuff here, probably someone watching a screen of where the trains are, decided he/she wanted to come into work late or go get coffee.

                                      Sounds like the season premier of 24.

                                      Don't worry folks. Jack Bauer is on the case.

                                          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                                  currently reporting that there was a Jeep Cherokee on the tracks early this morning before day light. Metrolink train hit it and caused debris on tracks which caused second train to derail and hit a third train and first Metrolink train.

                                                  9 reported dead thus far, dozens taken to area hospitals
                                                  "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a cola in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOOOOO HOOOOOO, what a ride!"

                                                      I hope none are dead, but things dont look good.

                                                      how the hell do two trains sideswipe each other???
                                                      Someone fell asleep at the switch...

                                                      we can send a rocket into the sky
                                                      and hurl a satelite through a gazzlion miles of space
                                                      have it eject a lil ball that falls to the surface on Mars...
                                                      ball bouncess all over hell and back
                                                      then out climbs a lil 6x6 tractor robot that collects data for months on end
                                                      and sends that data back to earth on a daily basis...

                                                      and yet, we still cant keep simple stuff down here from runnin into each other... How we dont have some auto switching/shutdown systems with failsafes galore on these trains is just beyond me.....

                                                      OK.. now they are reporting at least 10 dead in train wreck.
                                                      Also train wreck was caused by attempted suicide... guy parked car on tracks... then at the last second the suicide attempter ran from the car he had parked across the traintracks... leaving the Jeep there.
