Also, are we witnessing a cover-up of how bad the ecological disaster in East Palestine, Ohio truly is? New reports suggest there is more going on than meets the eye.
Helicopter crashes. Train derailments. Explosions. Chemical fires. The U.S. military shooting down ‘UFOs,’ as well Chinese spy balloons. What in the hell is going on?
Update: Now, meteors?!

Are such disasters on the rise or is it just our imagination? We’ll touch on the data for technological disasters below to help put these bewildering events in context. You will want to see these numbers to throw into relief some of the wild statistics being thrown around on social media.
But now, the biggest ecological disaster in modern U.S. history is unfolding before our very eyes in East Palestine, Ohio after a Norfolk Southern train derailed and approximately fifty cars with toxic chemicals overturned, spilling noxious fumes and gases into the air. Amid the fallout of this environmental catastrophe that began on February 3, a nation on edge has watched numerous other disasters capture headlines around the country.
On Wednesday, Americans watched in horror as they witnessed footage of a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter plummeting to the earth and onto a busy highway near Huntsville, Alabama.
No one on board survived the crash. The FAA did not provide further details. Redstone Arsenal, a U.S. Army facility located near the site of the crash, said the aircraft was not associated with its fleet. Bizarre, to say the very least.
Also on Wednesday, the Tulsa Port Authority in Oklahoma advised that a chemical tanker caught fire at the Port of Catoosa. A hazardous materials warning was issued that led to local evacuations. The chemical/oil fire was contained and the port is now reported to have been reopened.
This follows upon other hair-raising accidents this week. On Tuesday, an 18-wheeler overturned on the I-10 highway near Tucson, Arizona. Police said the truck was carrying about “2000 pounds of the toxic chemical nitric acid." A Hazardous Materials warning was given as well as shelter-in-place instructions.
On Monday, an 18-wheeler ran into a train carrying hazardous materials, predominately household cleaning products, near Splendora City, Texas, located about 40 miles northeast of Houston. The truck driver did not survive the crash.

“...Disasters on the Rise or Is It Just Our Imagination?...”
-
“Disasters” are neither on the rise nor in our imagination.
Truck Crashes, aircraft crashes, train crashes,
fires, floods, ships sinking, etc.
These things have always been happening,
but with the internet, people are aware of them.
When you use characteristics other than competence to hire and promote, you get people with characteristics other than competence in control.
IMHO, it’s widespread, systemic incompetence. Used to be confined to government, the media, and academia, but now it’s spreading into every bit of society. It’s only going to get worse.

Things will get a LOT better when the systemically racist white men are pushed aside and the Woke people get all the jobs. Trust me on this.
Chit happens, always has and always will. Without statitistical trend analysis it’s just coincidence being fed by hype, online media, and too many people with nothing better to do.
It’s called confirmation bias.
People = Bad
Stop breathing, stop breeding, each bugs and weeds, walk, and freeze at home. Fear, just fear everything.
And put that mask back on to hide your ugly face.
/s with a bit of reality.
It’s the twenty four hour news cycle. They all get more coverage

There’s a thin veneer of hyper-competent professionals who keep the lights on and the water drinkable. Replace them with the incompetent in the name of equity and the water turns brown and the lights go out.
‘this was a problem that was supposed to be addressed by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that was signed into law last fall. It turns out, that was more of a green slush fund than an “infrastructure” bill.’

These disasters sure seemed to start about 18 years after the government schools started dumbing down the kids.
The bean counters only care about the next quarter, not the long run, not safety, not quality control.
They are technologically illiterate, so have no clue of the havoc they are causing.
Throw in some affirmative action hires on top of this, and what could possibly go wrong?
Exactly.
Also we just got hit by a class M solar storm. Rare but has happened before. Caused some network and power disruptions generally not covered in the lame stream media. At least it was not a class X. Last one of those was in 1859. Did a lot of damage to power and telegraph systems.
As you said, disasters have been happening for a very long time. Most people just don’t know history.
In addition, the more technology is being relied on for day to day tasks, the more the opportunity for something to go wrong.
