According to today's news in Tampa, FL listen to this one:
A 133-car Amtrak Silver Star train derailed in Plant City at about 3:15 Tuesday afternoon after colliding with a pickup truck.
The pickup truck then caught on fire. The condition of the driver isn't clear at this time.
One hundred thirty-three passengers were on board the train, along with 12 crew members, when the derailment happened. They have been evacuated.
Witness Brent Bradley said the train did not flip over on its side or completely go off the track.
The incident occurred on U.S. Highway 92 east of Park Road. U.S. 92 is closed between Park Road and Wilder Road.
The train started its trip in Miami and was headed to New York when the accident happened. It was the same train that was involved in Monday evening's fatal accident in which four people were killed in Polk County.

The authorities are to blame for this one. The train should not have been allowed to operate after the incident yesterday.
