You're scaring me.
It was an accident. It had to be an accident.

If it was premeditated, those guys would have jumped truck before the train hit.
Or, if it was a planned attack, only 1 guy would be on the truck, not 3, since you only need 1 for a suicide attack.

You just don't take a truck like that quickly across tracks, especially if someone is riding on the bed. They have air-ride, I'm sure (pneumatic shock cushions under the cab), but the suspension itself is not exactly smooth. They were moving slowly or banging their heads on the roof of the cab, I promise you that. There's a reason for the phrase "rides like a dump truck."

That's a fair point. No argument there. I have seen garbage truck drivers doing some pretty stoopid things before.

It is being reported that because of who was on the train (200 GOP lawmakers and some of their families) the tracks were or should have been monitored for clear passage. Something is very wrong.
Hope they think to check out what may be hidden in that garbage.
