How often do trains derail? More often than you think

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:24:56 GMT

At least 15 people were injured late Wednesday morning after an Amtrak train derailed after colliding with a vehicle in Moorpark. The derailment happened around 11:30 a.m. when the train hit a public works water truck that was on the tracks at a railroad crossing near Los Angeles Avenue.Images from overhead showed three of the train's seven cars disconnected from the track, tilting sideways but managing to stay upright.Most of the injuries were minor, officials said, but the driver of the water truck was taken to a local trauma center for treatment.While passenger trains on average tend to be one of the safest modes of transportation in the United States, derailments do happen and are actually more common than you might think.The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) is a branch of the United States Department of Transportation that analyzes and compiles information about the nation's transportation systems.Since 1975, the agency has been tracking train derailments, as well as i...

Why are dogs freaked out by fireworks?

Even though personal fireworks are illegal in many cities, we know many people ignore the law around the July 4th holiday weekend.This means the sight and sound of crackling bottle rockets, Roman candles, flowers and sparklers – legal or illegal – will echo through neighborhoods for several nights, which poses a unique risk to dogs.There are two main reasons why man’s best friend is easily spooked by fireworks.The first is the most obvious. Fireworks are loud.“Dogs have exceptional hearing,” Purina explains. “If a dog comes running to the sound of a crinkling food wrapper from a different part of the house, you can imagine how sensitive they are to firecrackers.“Smithsonian digs a little deeper.“Dogs hear more than twice as many frequencies as humans, and they can also hear sounds roughly four times further away. Reacting to every sound would demand too much energy, and so dog brains must determine which sounds are significant and which can be tuned out.”Fireworks, Smithsonian expla...

Dr. Anju Mathur, Founder of Angel Longevity Medical Center and Angel Pure MD, is offering alternative solutions to a healthier life.Dr. Mathur’s journey to bringing better practices to treating patients began when she was working in her family practice. She found when she was treating her patients using traditional medical methods their symptoms weren’t improving over a long term period. Her patients would keep coming back while showing the same symptoms they had already been treated for. Dr. Mathur identified the problem was in the antibiotics she was prescribing to her patients. While the antibiotics would treat the symptoms for a short period of time her patients would eventually return with the same ailments.The medicines she was prescribing weren’t treating the reason why her patients got sick in the first place. Instead of treating any ailment and boosting the immune system the antibiotics were only suppressing the symptoms, and when the medicines completed their course throug...

Read more Letters to the Editor.Is Delta destined fordeath, tunnel or not?Your recent op-ed “Delta tunnel is too risky to bend environmental rules” (Page A6, June 21) articulates views of many dedicated individuals and organizations who have worked to “Save the Delta.” They deserve praise, much like those who bravely banded together to “Save the Bay” in an earlier era.On my computer monitor is the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s “Sea Level Rise Viewer.” It shows what will be happening to the Delta in the next several decades. The picture that emerges is that, with or without the tunnel, it will become a progressively brackish sea with a profoundly changed ecology.Up in the Sierras our heritage forests, stressed by drought, heat waves, bark beetles and fires, are undergoing massive change due to climate change. Much of this is already baked in and we’re hearing about “zombie” forests. One wonders if the Delta warrant...

Was Kevin Gausman the one who got away? He says split with SF Giants ‘water under the bridge’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:24:56 GMT

TORONTO — The tweet, Kevin Gausman insisted Wednesday, was really about Oreos. It was late one night this past December, and Gausman was munching away in bed. It was only natural, then, for his mind to wander to the preferred method of consumption for his snack of choice.“There is a fine line between dipping an Oreo for the perfect amount of time or having it break off into the milk,” he wrote on Twitter. “Sometimes in risks you gotta take risks and be able to live with the consequences.”It just so happened, as Gausman tells it, that the message was sent mere hours after the Giants called off their introductory news conference with Carlos Correa, and some year and change since the organization didn’t make a competitive offer and let him walk for a five-year, $110 million contract with the Blue Jays.It only added to the fire that Logan Webb, one of Gausman’s closest friends and now the Giants’ sole ace, chimed in, too: “Can I get an ...
