1. Amtrak train derails on its first day of new service in Washington State, killing three

If you’re like me, you sat and stared at footage of the Amtrak derailment ONTO AN INTERSTATE in Washington state yesterday. I could NOT believe what I was seeing. CNN reports that much like the Titanic, the train was on its very first trip of a new express service from Seattle to Portland when it jumped the track, sending cars to the busy highway below. It was reportedly going over 80 miles per hour on a 30 mile per hour curve at the time. All of the fatalities were on the train, and no one on the highway below was killed. Naturally, the NTSB is investigating.
