BREAKING: Amtrak Derailment Revealed
The Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188 flew off the rails traveling at 107 mph on its way to New York. The train was carrying 238 passengers and 5 crew members and derailed in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. Philadelphia Mayor Nutter said of the level 3 mass casualty event ”It is an absolute disastrous mess," "I've never seen anything like this in my life." The horrific wreck mangled the front of the train and tore 7 train cars apart has so far claimed the lives of 7 people. 7 others are fighting to stay alive and at least 200 were injured. This is the Ninth derailment for Amtrak this year.
Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 188 was traveling on the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak can operate these intercity services at speeds as high as 125 MPH. Of course speeds like this are aimed at the transit systems bottom line, not the safety of the passengers.
Back in 2005 , The man that blew the whistle on Cheney’s orders on 9/11.Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta of the Bush administration warned that the rail system today is an antique, adding, today’s system is basically a 1950s-style model. Mineta recommended that most of Amtraks rehabilitation funding come from the states in a non partisan manner.
The Obama Administration would have the funds come from the infinite wellspring of federal taxpayer dollars. So that friends like Rahm Emmanual can reap the benefits of another slush fund. Sarah Feinberg, Acting Administrator of The Federal Railroad Administration was appointed on January 9, 2015. From 2009-2010 she served in the Obama Administration as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Her actions in the coming weeks should be carefully scrutinized as Obama rolls forward on this. Amtrak has been hemorrhaging money. As of 2012 , Amtrak has been subsidized by the Federal Government for 1 billion per year and loses 600 million per year on its longer routes. The derailed train was on one of its profitable short routes. Putting lives in danger to try to balance the returns.
Meanwhile,the Department of Homeland, The DEA, and TSA security prey on the passengers risking their lives on a decrepit transportation system rife with corruption.
