Washington D.C's Train in Vain.. no bells..no whistles.

As I stood photographing the site earlier yesterday I recalled several other train wrecks. Did it resemble the June 4, 2003 train crash in southeastern Spain where 19 people were killed or the July 4, 2006 train crash in Valencia where 41 people were killed? 

The first thing they suspected was terrorism. It's always terrorism whether it's real or imagined. The March 11, 2004 train bombings in Madrid also known as 3/11 was terrorism. That was not imagined. 191 people died as a result of what the Spanish Judiciary determined was committed by an Al-Qaeda inspired terrorist cell.

Do people really know the difference between Al Qaeda, Hamas, or the Taliban. Do people really know the difference between Iran and Iraq. How about North Korea and South Korea. How about americans themselves. What are they? North..South...East Coast..West Coast.. Central.. Latin.. What have they become? 

Washington D.C. is a fine american city. When I walked away from the crash scene investigators still had no answers to what caused the collision. I do know one thing.. accidents do happen.
