    Worked as a Conductor for UP for 16yrs. US railroad workers have 2nd highest divorce rate (US Navy #1). Now that PTC is working in the US, we still see massive derailment due to the total lack of maintenance to equipment and track. Union Pacific brags but it's $2,000,000,000 quarterly profits and then crys to the Regulators and Union workers that they just don't have enough money to improved conditions of equipment maintenance or employees' quality of life. Sickening as they buy back their own stock year after year.

    And unfortunate tragedy but sadly not unusual. When you add political corruption, willing or unwilling incompetence, greed or laziness and general apathy to the mix, this is what you get. I'd like to hope we could start to avoid these in the future. unless anyone think this only occurs in developing world believe me this is plenty comment here in the US. see Miami towers from just a few years ago. Intentional or unintentionally poor construction is unfortunately a human problem not a geographical one. Edit: I could fix these typos, but why? Enjoy.

    Do people not understand how actual soil works? It needs plants shrubs roots and sometimes trees to hold it in place. Without it, if it's on a slope its going to go the way gravity goes. How are humans continually this stupid? a desire to simply cull ourselves?

    Please, please watch Tom Scott video about "This video is sponsored by vpn". You're more than welcome to accept VPN sponsorships, but please portray them accurately. Claims such as a VPN protecting passwords or provides security on public networks are either misleading or outright false. It's scare mongering. HTTPS (S standing for secure) already protects people. Misleading sponsorships can land companies in trouble in some countries as well, specially the UK. What VPNs can do is spoof your location to another country, allowing ppl to access different content or get cheaper prices on SOME sites (based on region).

    Not at all true. VPN stands for virtual private network. It's virtual. It encrypts your data, so only you and the website you're trying to reach can decode and encode data. The S in HTTPS just means that passwords and user data (Such as location, device info, and user information) can't be accessed. HTTPS doesn't stop people from accessing your browsing data that you're using in the moment, such as websites open and URL's that you're reaching out to. A VPN will actually stop hackers from seeing anything you're doing AT ALL! They literally can't see anything you're doing, rather than seeing limited info about you, as is with HTTPS.

    It's wild that there is no accountability anywhere in the western world for managers/c-suite douchebags. It's sort of understandable in a third world shithole where everyone is corrupt to the core. It seems we've been conditioned into not doing anything when those responsible fail in their duties.

    I had weird tests similar to this done to me when i was in adolescence. They would have people come in with different moods and talk to me in different emotional contexts to gauge my reactions. They had a sweet motherly lady, an angry, military like man, an anxious guy who seemed like he wanted something, and a sad guy who was sort of absent minded. My responses were relaxed with the lady, scared with the angry man, and generally no opinions about the other two. It was pretty weird, i wouldn't necessarily say traumatizing but definitely a strange experience. I was normally having my mental aptitude tested in between these tests and i honestly don't remember why i had them. I feel strangely like it was connected to another experience i had when I was much smaller where i was brought to an unmarked building that was very strange for a medical facility, it was dark, except for 2 fluorescent lit rooms with lockboxes and industrial shelving, and a quite long bright green liquid in a syringe was inserted underneath my tailbone. Ive tried to figure out what this was, and i have never found anything about it. But my medical transcripts reveal no infant or early childhood surgeries so it cant have been any normal procedure. Who knows - i was a foster kid. The gov is not unknown to use wards of the state for testing

    In the United States, it's common for rail tops to be ground, to remove microscopic cracks before they can spread. However, from the other comments, it sounds like there were problems with the steel itself.

    Concrete only really lasts 60-70 years, potentially much less if voids fill with water, as in a typhoon-laden environment. You have to really baby concrete buildings... you can't just let them sit and hope they will stay up forever! There are better concretes coming down the pike... but for now y'know- always assume the worst with concrete buildings.
