Nope. Can't remember exactly which one off the cuff but several years ago now an American engineers organization gave US infrastructure a D-.

And it can only be worse now.

According to your own engineers your country is falling apart.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow When Trump was President he had infrastructure week a handful of times.

No, not an attack. Perhaps neglect of infrastructure is getting worse, coupled with rolling back train safety rules.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics is a branch of the United States Department of Transportation that analyzes and compiles information about the nation’s transportation systems.

From 1990, the first year the BTS began tracking derailments and injuries on a yearly basis, to 2021, there have been 54,539 accidents in which a train derailed. That’s an average of 1,704 derailments per year.

Those numbers might seem pretty staggering, but derailments vary in severity and only a portion result in injuries. During that same time frame, 5,547 people were injured when a train derailed, or about 174 per year. Even then, much of that data is skewed due to a 2002 derailment in North Dakota in which a hazardous materials spill injured more than 1,400 people, BTS said.

@ElwoodBlues Trump rolled back Transport Safety Rules. I saw a video of railroad tracks in Ohio and they were in such disrepair it looked like a 3rd world country.

It is a mistake to assume malevolent intent where incompetence is a sufficient answer. Donald Trump repealed a number of safety regulations that were in place for good reason.
