Senator Paul was on with Fox and being a doctor was able to converse intelligently with other doctors on the train. Harris talked directly with the Rep. doctor who got off the train and attempted to save the driver but realized he couldn’t and moved on to the other and performed CPR. Very riverting to listen to.

“I’m calling this NOT A COINCIDENCE”

If it comes back that the killed driver was an Achmed or Mohammed then I’ll believe it!

Until then it’s a tragic accident. Far as I know there are no Achemds Or Mohammeds in that area of West Virginia but I could be wrong. At least I hope I’m wrong.

“BREAKING: REP. JASON LEWIS HAS BEEN HOSPITALIZED FOLLOWING TRAIN ACCIDENT WITH GOP LAWMAKERS ON BOARD; POSSIBLE CONCUSSION”

I saw them pull someone off the train on a Stryker wondered what that was about. Thanks for the update.

Noted a few things from the wreck site about the truck.

Three on the truck makes sense, the truck had 2 cart tippers, both extended. So the truck was doing households. 1 driver, 2 guys moving and dumping autoloader barrels.
The compactor body was a rear-loading McNeilus body
The truck body was International
The company appears to be Time Disposal

You guys are lucky; my town of 283 souls has ONE garbage truck - and more-often-than-not a drunk driver on board! ;)

The trash truck picks up on this rural road early AM Mondays at the same time I’m locking the gate and leaving for work-there are always 3 guys-one drives and the other 2 empty the trash bin(s) and separate recycle container(s)into the truck.

Was there a snackbar in the garbage truck? Any prayer rugs found?

Jason Lewis represents the second district in Minnesota. He was first elected in 2016 with 47% of the vote in a three-way race.

I’m curious why the arms on the rr crossing are intact.

Either they didn’t activate or the truck was sitting on the tracks before they can down.

Reeks of an attempted ambush, Wild West train robber style.

Can you believe this heartless man, Jonathan Tasini celebrates people being killed?

Archive to view the now deleted tweet: https://archive.is/WLPh6

Well, Jonathan Tasini is an atheist Bernie Sanders supporter and CNN employee and Patreon podcast owner, so...now you know where not to support him.

Maybe Tony Soprano was behind this.

How closely are those trucks guarded and how hard to shut one down remotely? Given the compromised nature of national intelligence and law enforcement, someone on the outside (Rudy?) should be put on the case.

Where I live it used to be standard 3 men per truck. One driver and two dumpers. One dumper for each side of the street. Then our trash company went high tech. now it works like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCTyasDmWrs

One driver.

If I were Antifa, I could have an insider at the train company tell me when certain runs requiring extra security were happening, then have my friend at the Trash Co. issue a GPS kill command as the truck - which likely stopped before the tracks like a bus - had no momentum and kill the electronics right before it got midway over the crossing.

I can’t tell for sure because of the angle of the shot, but from what I can see of the markings on the side of the trailer, it belongs to a local trash hauler.

Sometimes a stalled truck is just a stalled truck.

3 people in the truck? Interesting.

Driver and two tossers. Not unusual at all.
