[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />Man! <br /> <br />The last thing we need, another wreck! The past 6 months seems to have been a nightmare of the rail industry as a whole when it comes to safety! <br /> <br />Ironic that in 2005 we still see these mishaps! Now the questions of course: Was it human error? Mechanical/electronic breakdowns? Nature? Or a combination of one or two? We'll be getting plenty of info as the week continues. <br /> <br />My condolences to the victims' families. <br /> <br />Not trying to sound cold or harsh, but realistically even if this wreck proves not to be Metrolink's fault, the lawsuits are going to start flying through the roof! I'm just guessing but within 1/2 hour after the wreck was broadcast, a bunch of California attorneys started making plans! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />A vehicle was reported to be on the tracks at a crossing causing the derailment. <br />This is just one of many cars or trucks that have caused a major accident accross the nation.
