Report On GOP Train Crash Out

A puzzler:

Witnesses told investigators that a garbage truck struck by a train carrying Republican congressmen through rural Virginia entered the railroad crossing after the safety gates had come down, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report released Wednesday. The report on the Jan. 31 crash said the probable cause of the accident has not yet been determined. But it offered some new details about the crash, which killed a trash collector and injured several other people, including another trash collector and the truck’s driver.

The Amtrak train was carrying dozens of Republican lawmakers to an annual strategy retreat in West Virginia…

The NTSB report said data taken from a track image camera on the train showed that as the highway-railroad grade crossing came into view, the gates were down and the trash truck was on the crossing.

So there was no security at the crossing gate at the moment when the train came through, despite witness accounts that there had been security there all day prior to the crash checking IDs. And the truck passed the gates while they were closed, at which point it just sat on the tracks.

It seems oddly coincidental that the very moment a Garbage Truck, of all vehicles, would pass the gates and sit on the tracks, was the very moment that the bulk of the Republicans in Congress were all in one place, traveling together at 60 miles per hour, to that very spot.

And all as there are whispers of a covert war behind the scenes between the President and some covert network of intelligence operatives that runs things behind the scenes. What are the chances?
