what happened to all the train derailments?

Anyone remember the sudden media fixation on train derailments in early 2023? Then the idea that planes were going to start crashing with regularity earlier this year.

These type of quick and brief fixations from the media or social media show that people are just hunting for ways to make everyone as fearful or uncomfortable as they can and then they latch on to what hits most effectively.

Seems worse than ever these days

Dr. Fauci and the Deep Staters and Illuminati got the DeLorean up to 88mph and went back in time to stop the train derailments so that Harris would win the election.

Like that time GHWB hopped in an SR-71 Blackbird and flew to Paris?

Yeah, he flew to Paris to hold secret talks with the Iranians to delay releasing the American hostages until after Reagan won the election. This is a 100% true, verifiable, rumor.

Turns out, they're all pretty statistically the same year over year, but if you want to take a few headlines and create a sensational conspiracy, they're all out there for you. Right, NJDEV?

Never heard of this until now, although coincidentally I had a pair of headphones shipped from Vancouver that were on a train that derailed last year. It was annoying, ultimately took them 2 weeks to get here.
