SAN PEDRO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed near the Port of Los Angeles in an attempt to crash into the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say.
The Pacific Harbor Line train derailed Tuesday, running through the end of the track and crashing through barriers, finally coming to rest about 250 yards from the docked naval ship.
"[The engineer] expressed concerns to authorities that the ship had an alternate purpose than to assist with COVID-19 and was potentially linked to a government takeover and he derailed the train to 'wake people up.'"
“Be ready; now is the beginning of happenings.”
― Robert E. Howard, Swords of Shahrazar
I find it odd that he couldn't just look at the distances and obstacles involved and not know he'd never get that locomotive near that ship!

Maybe in his mind, he was like "I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!"....you know, like the little engine that could.

Boobytrapping a rail line and using five deck mounted rocket launchers to bombard coastal installations......obviously a believer in the dictum "there are very few problems that can't be solved through the judicious application of high explosives".

Not a very good engineer, I guess.

Or the fact that he's a "choo-choo kinda engineer", not "slide-rule kinda engineer". Big difference.
I knew someone would catch that.
Either way, he couldn't calculate that there was no way he was going to achieve his goal neither did he know his engine well enough.
