Commuter Train Derails In California, Dozens Injured - Live Feed
Just in case there wasn't enough on the calendar, between Yellen, Greece, consumer confidence, housing data, Richmond Fed, and of course stocks at another all time high, the latest news out of California is that a Matrolink commuter train struck at least two trucks between Oxnard and Camarilo, in a repeat of a similar tragic accident that took place in New York two weeks ago.
At least 30 people were injured when three Los Angeles-bound Metrolink train cars derailed after the train was involved in a fiery collision with a vehicle Tuesday morning between Oxnard and Camarillo.
The vehicle was on the Ventura County Line tracks at the time of the collision, just before 6 a.m., according to Metrolink. Several cars were on their sides near 5th Street and Rice Avenue and the vehicle, described as a utility truck, was on fire after the crash about 80 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Details regarding the conditions of the injured victims were not immediately available. Fire-rescue personnel set up a color-coded triage area with green, yellow and red tarps at the site. The tarps indicate the severity of the victim's injuries, with red being the most serious and green indicating minor injuries.

Indian Rail system USSA.
How did those trucks get stalled on the tracks before dawn?
That's the question.
Dog bites man story.
Not worthy of ZH attention.
The whole damned country is derailed, but nobody seems very bothered by it.
Fuck it, let's go bowling.
30 people hurt? They must have had a bunch in the back of that pickup, because no way in hell there are 30 Americans riding a train. Every American has to be in his own pickup instead of using public transportation.
Just wait 'till we get that 'Bullet Train.'
Lots of high-speed crashy-goodness...
It's bad when they're on their sides like that, isn't it?
Geezus, people, 60 response comments on this.
Nothin' draws a crowd like a train wreck, I guess.
a certain Atlas Shrugged chapter comes to mind...
MGTOW come to my mind also.
Oh I don't know, the train wreck metaphor comes to mind.
USA becoming more and more like Argentina ,India and the planet of the apes.
I wonder if someone may be hacking vehicles to bring them to a stop on the tracks? Certainly possible with modern vehicles.
...Very likely a Multiple banker suicides in one go.
Too unpredictable an outcome.
The thing that I'd like to stress is this: see how easy it is to fuck up a complex system and cause massive economic losses? These fuckheads in DC who think they're the masters of the universe because they can overthrow small governments, using unlimited funds and manpower, forget just how easy it truly is to fuck something up. It's really hard to build and maintain something, and it requires a lot of people who care enough to do the right thing every day.
But fucking shit up? Child's play. A six year old boy is a more destructive agent of entropy than any shithead master of the unverse in DC ever dreamed about being.
Chaos in Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria? Spreading misery globally? Easy. But building something meaningful, positive, and lasting? It's completely beyond their capabilities.
I liked your comment.
The problem with fucking shit up is that is has turned into the perfect conduit for government to steal us blind.
After supporting the murderous Bin Laden in Afghanistan, Bin Laden turned on the USA and killed a bunch of us. Thus we have the Constitution nullifying Patriot Act and the 50,000 man army the TSA- which does nothing except seize innocent people's property and fail to return it.
After taking bribes from bankers for re-election bids, politicians removed the last controls on banks. The banks turned on them and destroyed our entire way of life in 2008. Not only have we lost millions upon millions of jobs- but we lost our benefits- our healthcare. Enter government. Now the fucking government just steals our money to pay for some of the shittiest health care benefits on the planet.
So every time some shit gets fucked up, go ahead and laugh. But you will be the one getting the bill.
Exactly. We could go and defeat Germany, Italy and Japan in less than 5 yrs in WWII. We've taken over 10 years to not defeat a bunch of goat herders with an army of over 100K, and every smart, radioactive or otherwise lethal ordinance. This is no accident, though it's meant to appear that way.
So now they're gonna fix ghetto rats by giving them a free community college edumacayshun too? That fix will render the cheapest and most approachable college worthless or unobtainable, being packed with unwilling chair-warmers. And the list goes on...
I neg'd you for the ghetto rats comment. The black community is a model, and was perhaps a test case, for what is happening / being done right now to the white middle class in the US: utter destruction, starting with destruction of the family structure (removal of fathers from homes), destruction of the culture (destruction of the family, removal of fathers from homes, importation of addictive drugs with cash flow benefitting black-ops agencies, feminist takeover of the public education system and family courts, destruction of values, lowering of standards, glorification of self-destructive pop culture), ending with utter dependence on the government for life itself. It's happening to whites right now; can't you see that?

It's not an accident, but it is an indication of the viability of 4GW, and it deserves study. You can't destroy an idea, and if you kill everyone in an occipied land there is no one left to extract wealth from, so the feudal model breaks down. RESIST.
Fair enough on the pejorative, though I will point out many areas of the country where the welfare lines are lily-white. Your comments are spot on, and I do recognize that the carnage will not reside with only 1 race or class type--we are all at risk (I am assuming you are not flying a Gulfstream to Gstadt on the weekends). These evil forces win when anyone becomes dependent on the state. This, of course, can take the form of welfare, but also military, gov't worker, gov't contractor, basically anyone relying on the state for their paycheck, medicine, professional references, or sense of self-worth. This is, sadly, close to a majority of people in this country (and many others). Resistance to this must go hand in hand with competence in being able to handle the material universe (or even being literate enough to read how to do something), as well as the maturity or zen to rid oneself of the slavery of iGadgets or other flashy trappings of distraction this "culture" has to offer.
My Toyota compact boasts 140,000 miles and has never been outside CONUS.
IMO a majority already subsist on government welfare, elegant or otherwise.
Correct- except for this:
"Bin Laden turned on the USA and killed a bunch of us"
If you are truly one of us, on the lunatic fringe, you already know that what happened in NYC, Washington, OKC etc. were not the acts of external terror groups or individuals at all.
fat finger - oops
But officer, I was training a woman to drive and when I went to the bathroom for a minute, I was thrown off the toilet violently. I picked myself up and went to the engine. When I asked her what happened, she said she was attempting to parallel park the train.
ISIS truck drivers?
follow on incident from the Norcal Sniper shooting at a power substation and then disappearing ?
Same thing could happen at an Airport since the landing area is not always visible from tower.
The only imaginable death worse than dying AT work, is dying on your WAY to work...
Wouldn't the way HOME from work be ever so slightly less dignified?
No...because after work you are at least happy the day is over, imagining a cold one, and you might also be getting road head from the chick you picked up at the carpool lot...but then again, you'd need a car for that, so you wouldnt be a train rider in the first place...
You can do more than get head on a train. ;)

Intentional?
What's the bloody point of passenger trains anyway?
You sent this from your phone while stuck in traffic, admit it.
Virus propagation
Jawbz for crack-heads not already employed in DC.
How many passengers will die from being run over by first responders?
So what high-profile bankers were among the casualties?
The train operator was probably an illegal who just got his driver's license from Comrade Jerry Brown.
Was the downer a comrade or an illegal or both?
The police caught him; he was already over a mile away,heading straight for LA's "Safe Zone."
wow, there's nothing left of that truck, but I'm surprised those rail cars jumped the track at all, given their weight and momentum.
It looked like this train was operating in a "pusher" configuration, with the heavy engine pushing the relatively lighter cars ahead of it. It doesn't work out as well for the cargo of sheeple, but hey, it's cheaper than actually turning the whole train around at the end of the line.
The increase lately of "system failures" such as this one suggests that Atlas is Shrugging.
Suicide by train
How many bankers killed????????????
So glad we are getting a bullet train. Talk about a crash then!
We might get a bullet, or a train. Not both.
They come in threes like plane crashes
The passenger cars are pushed by the locomotive, whoever is dumb enough to ride the train with the locomotive pushing the train at 50-60 mph deserves this.
pretty sure the innocent people getting on a train have no idea how it is run or why that matters - to say they deserve this is obscene and ignorant
They call the lead car the "coffin car"
This train ran on the H1B Line i read:
http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-edison-layoffs-20150211-story.html
Holy shit.
From the linked article" Last month, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) introduced a bipartisan bill that would sharply increase the number of skilled guest worker visas available every year."
Bipartisan buggery for everyone!
FUCK YEAH!
Any high level bankers on this train?
First response looks totally different than Sandy Hook.
Yeah, like the medics are actually treating victims and the ambulances are not parked hundreds of yards away.
Sandy Hook is a hoax. It never happened... but then again, that doesn't matter if you believe everything you hear on TV.
Denial/river/Egypt
Parking on RR crossings is never recommended by the California Dept of Motor Vehicles.
Shit, this happened here. I hope no one I knew got hurt.
Here's my perspective of train and vehicle crossing collisions. I think the derailments happen because the engineer on the train is braking, instead of accelerating. The point of momentum, being the engine, is subject to the increasing build up of weight of the cars behind i. When the lead car or engine hits the vehicle in a deceleration mode, that stacked weight has to go somewhere. If the engineer had maintained his speed, he would've probably gone right through, without any problems. You'll see this on freight trains that don't stop in the Midwest, when they cream full size big rigs.
California public transportation bitchez.
Now if the choppers will run in to each other and if someone could fill the fire truck with gas rather than water, throw in a coulpe of cop beatdowns of guys with his eardrums blown out and holding presure cookers still in boxes and maybe a black guy standing next to bill holder and any jew banker shaking their heads and we'd have are selves a real change some laws event. the horror .... the horror....
.Gov safety plans for mass transit working well, I see. . .
For a couple of seconds, I was asking myself if it was in India or USA, then I looked closer and saw kind of ambulance and police cars who are typical in America...
WHAT A TRAGEDY!
30 probable Democratic voters injured. Oh The Horror! Hillary will need additional Diebold cheat codes stat.

IMHO Bad Accident,
If it were sabotage on a Personal Level, it could have been a disgruntled worker or somebody may have been targeting someone who commutes on that Line. If it were a symbolic acts of Anarchy, it probably may not be ISIL (they'd hit in a more densely populated locale for psychological effect) - maybe Greenpeace, Earth Liberation Front, or some radical White Right Winger Group - which may blame the Aztlán Movement as a Scapegoat(since they're the ethnic Majority, have enough votes NOW to get California to Secede from the Union, and some affiliated with that "Future Secessionist Group"(as the GOPee will refer to them soon) are talking about a less than friendly "takeover" of the (California/SoOregon/etc.) Region.
Why not Aztlán? Demographics of the area. Outside of Hispanics, you have Gringos in that part of SoCal. Outside of the Navy, Asians and Negroids don't tend to gather there - too far from LA/LongBeach/OCounty Proper.
