    This truck was hit by the train that derailed in Washington.

    Preventable or not?

    Did he have the big picture?
    Did he leave himself an out?
    Did he expect the unexpected?

    See how easy it is to get boned by someone's interpretation?

    Not.

    No one expects a locomotive train engine to bounce onto the interstate.

    If I told you that my thinking includes such scenarios, some of you will laugh and pick on me as a nut.

    Preventable on whose part, a train hitting a 35 mph curve @ 60 mph, they going to be pointing fingers to many but the real culprit, our infrastructure has fallen apart and is obsolete.

    Non-preventable, but will be scored as an accident with fatalities.

    Does the train have insurance for this so this operator can get back up and running? Or is this person just plain F-ed as usual?

    I have a brother who is a grammar one. I go after him sometimes. English was not my first language and he takes pleasure in correcting me. I take pleasure in teaching him the syntax I use...
