Some ask, could the Seattle train wreck be terrorism?

Apparently not, but the  terrorist warning is necessary. Anyway, here is the latest on the train: Train Was Going 80 MPH In A 30 MPH Zone According To The NTSB

Brian C. Joondeph  . . . "Al Qaeda has its own magazine. Call it Vanity Fair for the jihadist. The magazine is called Inspire. Check out the cover of issue number 17."


. . . "They devoted an entire issue to teaching followers how to derail trains in the U.S. and Europe. Detailed instructions. From Business Insider:
The magazine also features a detailed 18-page-long guide on how to build a "derail tool" with cardboard, an empty plastic container, part of a rubber tyre, pipes, iron wires, screws, sheet metal, and cement. The apparatus does not require any electronic or construction tools so followers can "remove any traces for suspicion."
When placed on train tracks, the tool is expected to interfere with the train's movement and cause it to divert from its tracks.
As the perpetrator does not physically need to be on the train during the derailment, the operation "is not a martyrdom op" and "can be repeated," the magazine said. It will also be "easy to hide your tracks from forensics" after the attack, it boasted. . .
 UPDATE: Immediately Following Amtrak Derailment, The Conspiracy Theory Trolls Began Their Campaign . . . "Whether the cause for the increased speed was operator error or some mechanical malfunction is one of those questions we’ll have to wait on the answers to.
"Whatever the case, the conspiracy theorists – Russian bot accounts and mindless purveyors of “fake news” – were out in force, cooking up social media tales designed to exacerbate the masses." . . .
Still, this is still doable as a terror tactic, but let's not go into detail.
