Might as well start a thread like this since this keeps happening every other week now it seems. there have been a whole bunch in Canada in the last year and a bunch more in the US. This latest one was pretty bad and pretty close being just a few hours downstate right? > **[New York train derailment kills four, injures 63](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-derailment-newyork/new-york-train-derailment-kills-four-injures-63-idUSBRE9B007F20131201)** > > A suburban New York train derailed on Sunday, killing four people and injuring 63, including 11 critically, when all seven cars of a Metro-North train ran off the tracks on a sharp curve, officials said. 63 hurt, 11 critically, 4 confirmed dead as of today. ---

Train and Space shuttle are the only ways I have never traveled and it was on my list but seeing some of this stuff makes me wonder how much I need to check it off my list. ---

As important as trains are there’s just something about them and the whole concept that surprises me they don’t fail more often. ---

If you’re gonna start a thread about train derailment might as well start some for school shootings & public shootings, there’s so many of those no one from NYSpeed even posts about them anymore, even the one that was 8 miles away from Columbine a few weeks ago ---
