      “Amtrak only owns relatively small portion of the 62,000 miles of track in the United States. So they'll be looking and they'll be working with the railroad that actually owns that track and they will become a party to this investigation,” Former NTSB Chairman Mark Rosenker sayspic.twitter.com/eTCnmzL7cH

          As distasteful as it seems, he does make a point. Television news seems to shove tragedy down your throat so much that it seems many cannot live without it. They will violate the privacy of a community for ratings. Even when there is nothing further to add.

          Do you want your children waking up to OKC, NYC, London, tragedy after tragedy streamed 24/7? It's pathetic. It's not breaking news hours, days, etc. This is the monetization of a tragedy in your community.

          Exactly it wasn't a terror attack, no bombings, no shoot outs. In my eyes it wasn't "breaking news "

          If this were a military accident the GOP would be screaming and demanding more money to fix the problem, but since it's Amtrak the GOP will ask for MORE DEFUNDING because it doesn't work.

          @cbsnews, JBLM's Madigan Army Medical Center is a level 2 trauma center so many of the train derailment injuries may be taken there since it is so close nearby as opposed to Harborview in Seattle, which 60 miles away.
