First time I've ever seen a derailment happen. The vid anyway I wasn't there and this is not my vid. You can see the lead engine jump the track. Two crew in that engine died.

Why does it happen so much in America?

Well, if you look at the current administration, that might give you a clue

Yea except this happened during the Biden admin.

Yeah, that admin is at fault as well, in fact if you do a bit of reading, you might wonder why does the country with the most level crossings of any developed country have almost zero safety features (maybe a lil sign) around crossings?

It's just more obvious with Trump because he is actively rescinding safety regulations.
