The South African one-legged runner had a better story.
The nurse had a better story going with the Romeo and Juliet angle.
Looks like palm trees in the background. Are there many palm trees in NYC?
The photos are from California. Where the conductor meant to attack the US Mercy.
The second ship is in NYC (The Comfort)
See, word on the streets is, the conductor thought there were soldiers hidden inside the US Mercy and wanted to expose them.
Thinking that Xi Jinping and Trump worked together to plant the coronavirus. Both leaders planned to use Chinese military along
with Mercenaries loyal to Trump to attack NY and California simultaneously from those ships (Trojan Horse) by using those ships as cover.
The conductor meant to expose the plan but as you can see from the photos. He didn't get close to the US Mercy.

Below article kinda makes sense. This week Diamond and Silk said the economy is being destroyed to stop Trump.
And some 'Q' like anti-Deep state ops blame Facui as the reason the economy is shut down.
Interesting, today's press conference a question was on this and if Facui is receiving security due to recent threats.
Dr Anthony Facui receiving death threats.

Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-diseases expert and the face of the U.S. response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, is facing growing threats to his personal safety, prompting the government to step up his security, according to people familiar with the matter.
The concerns include threats as well as unwelcome communications from fervent admirers, according to people with knowledge of deliberations inside the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice.
The exact nature of the threats against him was not clear. Greater exposure has led to more praise for the doctor but also more criticism.
Fauci has become a public target for some right-wing commentators and bloggers, who exercise influence over parts of the president’s base. As they press for the president to ease restrictions to reinvigorate economic activity, some of these figures have assailed Fauci and questioned his expertise.
Last month, an article depicting him as an agent of the “deep state” gained nearly 25,000 interactions on Facebook — meaning likes, comments and shares — as it was posted to large pro-Trump groups with titles such as “Trump Strong” and “Tampa Bay Trump Club.”
I wonder how much of this is homegrown vs being amplified by Russian bots/influence.
618,000 over 4 years.
And we are about to double that in 13-14 months.
It seems a little disjointed, but OK. What I'd like to know is how a train conductor gets so far off his rocker without anyone noticing. I had a close friend that worked for the railroad and he told me the conductors have to be rock solid beyond reproach kind of citizens, for this exact reason. Their potential as terrorist is tremendous. They're up there with airline pilots.
And keep in mind these aren't soldiers dying either.
These are our elders, doctors, nurses etc
Right wing propaganda
And you wonder why I quit? I’ll catch them on the back end.
YEH I SUSPECTED THAT TOO!

No, this is not April Fools. This actually happened today. The first picture shows the location of the train.
The second picture is the US Mercy in relation to the train. If you don't know the Hospital ship was sent to California for virus support.
Ready? The train conductor's goal was to crash the train into the US Mercy Hospital Ship.
Why? The conductor thought the US Mercy (Along with US Comfort in New York) was part of a take over of the government. And he wanted to crash into the boat to expose troops hidden inside.
U HAVE THESE SAME NUTJOBS ON HERE BGOL , Q ANON & TIN HAT MUHFUKKAS R OVERTAKING THIS FUKING COUNTRY !

Without saying too much
I know a college educated medical professional that was telling me Hillary was a clone last election
Shit is crazy what it's doing to people
There were slightly less than 3,000 total victims on 9/11 including the Towers, Pentagon and even the hijackers.
We've now passed 4,000 US deaths with no end in sight many of which were entirely preventable.
Trump and his incompetence has now accomplished what no terrorist has been able to by far and this is only the beginning.

I know a lot of these far right wingers just like getting under other people skin and will say just about anything to get a rise out of folks. Then they go back and laugh about it with their friends, saying they freaked so and so out their mind. The difference is this conductor went and ran his locomotive off the tracks. That's big time. What if he had been an airline pilot.
You might want to watch the video that was just posted. 1.5 percent of people who get the flu end up in the hospital. Up to 30% so far with covid 19. If all the beds are full and the hospital is at capacity, what happens when there is a car accident, and you need medical care? What happens when your child falls out the tree and has a limb broken or a head injury? What happens when a friend or family member has a heart attack? What happens when all the medical professionals are infected because they don't have proper PPE and start dying off or infect the above people when treating them? How much knowledge is lost? How many years does it take to replace the experts?
Hospitals have shortages of supplies. One said they don't have the drugs to keep people under while they are on ventilators. They don't even have Tylenol. So what happens when your loved one gets sick and has to be on a ventilator, which has an average of 21 days? Or someone needs surgery and they don't have pain meds or meds to sedate folk?
All this on top of the medical professionals being put under stress and strain, having to be separated from their loved ones so they don't bring the virus home, and we know stress and lack of sleep further compromises the immune system. People are freaking out and grieving over the numbers of bodies piling up and the folks they can't save, and then they have all the social distancing and reduced movement the rest of the world is bitching and moaning about.
I've been freaking out with worry this week waiting for a family members test to come back to the point I couldn't sleep and was having panic attacks. I'm sure the stress these other folks are under is 100x worse.
This is serious, and not only because of the people who can contract it, but because of the sheer volume of people that affects how much care others can get. The fact you can't say goodbye to people, or even have a funeral.
The fears people have are real and justified. Stop trying to act like folks are over reacting. I don't want to hear about stats and numbers when it's possibly my own people. That could have been you and your fam a week or two ago.

No doubt and there are so many variables in regards to who may or may not be better off genetically when it comes to the effects when infected as well as survival.
I read somewhere that certain blood types may react far better when infected to fight the virus (I think A was considered worst, O best.)
Feds: Man intentionally derailed LA train near hospital ship
A train engineer intentionally drove a speeding locomotive off a track at the Port of Los Angeles because he was suspicious about the presence of a Navy hospital ship docked there amid the coronovirus crisis, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A train engineer intentionally drove a speeding locomotive off a track at the Port of Los Angeles because he was suspicious about the presence of a Navy hospital ship docked there to help during the coronovirus crisis, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.
The locomotive crashed through a series of barriers and fences before coming to rest more than 250 yards (230 meters) from the U.S. Navy Hospital Ship Mercy on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a release.
Nobody was hurt.
Eduardo Moreno, 44, was charged with one count of train wrecking, prosecutors said. It wasn't immediately known if he has an attorney.
Moreno acknowledged in two separate interviews with law enforcement that he intentionally derailed and crashed the train near the Mercy, according to the criminal complaint.
"You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to," Moreno told investigators, according to the complaint. "People don't know what's going on here. Now they will."
Moreno said he was suspicious of the Mercy and believed it had an alternate purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover, an affidavit states. Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack.
In an interview with FBI agents, Moreno stated that "he did it out of the desire to 'wake people up,'" according to an affidavit.
"Moreno stated that he thought that the USNS Mercy was suspicious and did not believe 'the ship is what they say it's for,'" the complaint said.
The Mercy arrived in port this week to provide a thousand hospital beds for non-coronavirus cases to take the load of regional medical centers expecting a surge of COVID-19 patients.
Cell phone video showed the locomotive upright in a patch of dirt. It apparently smashed through a concrete barrier at the end of the track, slid across pavement and gravel, and hit a chain-link fence before coming to a rest.
Phillip Sanfield, spokesman for the Port of Los Angeles, said the locomotive never came close to the Mercy.
"It would have had to have gone several hundred yards through a parking lot and cross a water channel to reach the ship," Sanfield said. " The tracks are nowhere near the Mercy."
The engineer wasn't a port employee but apparently was working for Pacific Harbor Line Inc., a train company that handles cargo in the port and connects to major railroad lines, Sanfield said. The company didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
A small fuel leak was quickly controlled and port operations weren't seriously affected, Sanfield said.
Moreno was arrested by a California Highway Patrol officer who witnessed the crash and captured him as he fled the scene. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Port of Los Angeles Police are now leading the investigation.
The CHP officer reported seeing "the train smash into a concrete barrier at the end of the track, smash into a steel barrier, smash into a chain-link fence, slide through a parking lot, slide across another lot filled with gravel, and smash into a second chain-link fence," according to an affadavit.

Detroit's ballroom dance community rocked by coronavirus, including multiple deaths

Detroit's ballroom dance community rocked by coronavirus, including multiple deaths
BRIAN MCCOLLUM| DETROIT FREE PRESS
Updated 1 hour ago
For decades, urban ballroom dancers have assembled in clubs and venues across the metro area to take part in one of Detroit’s richest and most distinctive social traditions. And during the second week of March, just before Michigan’s ban of mass gatherings, there they still were, dancing as they’ve always done — mingling closely, hand in hand, cheek to cheek.
By month’s end, the coronavirus had swept ferociously through Detroit’s ballroom dance family, igniting ongoing waves of grief and pangs of anxiety among a tight-knit group mostly made up of older African Americans, for whom dancing was supposed to be a respite from life’s rigors.
“This thing has been a direct hit on us,” said dancer Darrell Wilson. “Facebook is like an obituary page right now. Every time I look up, somebody I know has died.”
People entrenched in Detroit’s urban ballroom scene offer varying estimates of the toll on their community to this point. Some say they know of five, six, 10, a dozen dancers who have died during the past two weeks. Others put the count at more than 30.
Whatever the precise number, the tragic stories continue to mushroom. Friends and dance partners in the ballroom community often find themselves struggling to absorb the magnitude of the crisis in their sphere.

“We’re all shell-shocked,” said a Southfield resident and ballroom regular who asked not to be named. “The dance community is losing people daily.”
Some ballroom dancers, promoters and DJs declined to speak on the record for this article — or to even talk at all — citing the ongoing emotional trauma and a sensitivity for victims’ families. They also worry their community might be unfairly stigmatized and scapegoated in a city that has emerged as a coronavirus hot spot.
That stance is understandable, and it’s important to stress there’s no available data confirming that any given dance event or venue was an exposure site, or that dancing was a transmission point at all for people who since have tested positive.
Michael McElrath, spokesman for the Wayne County Public Health Division, said the county is not conducting retrospective investigation into early coronavirus clusters.
“We are aware of places people gathered,” he said. But with the subsequent escalation of coronavirus across the region, “we now assume everywhere is an exposure site.”
McElrath said his own mother is a Detroit ballroom dancer, and he acknowledged that coronavirus has struck that community in a “devastating” way.
“She is in (emotional) pain right now,” he said. “Every day she’s calling me about someone in her ballroom group."
Some of Michigan’s most publicized COVID-19 victims were ballroom dancers, including Michigan state Rep. Isaac Robinson and Wayne County Sheriff Cmdr. Donafay Collins, who also moonlighted as a DJ.
In Detroit, urban ballroom is a lifestyle for many involved — part exercise, part therapy, part social connection. It's an accessible community that eagerly welcomes newcomers, said Jay Danzie, who oversees the online group Ballroom Nation.
But when it comes to coronavirus, ballroom's virtues may have been its vulnerability.
"Because the dancers come together — it’s a contact sport — naturally it might be a haven for a rapid spread," Danzie said.
On social media, the scope of the outbreak among ballroom dancers is stark and poignant. There are tearful tributes to those known dead, and frantic questions about friends whose accounts have abruptly gone quiet.
Some users have turned amateur detective, piecing together dates and venues possibly linking those who have fallen sick or died of COVID-19 — including events the second week of March at popular nightspots such as Club Yesterday’s in Redford Township, EARS Showplace in Hamtramck and the Paradise in Southfield.
On Friday, March 13, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued the first in a series of orders limiting public assemblies. Within days, as the mandate tightened to ban gatherings of 10 or more people, dance and music events were effectively shut down.
“I started noticing after that weekend that people were getting sick,” said Charles Hicks, 65, a longtime event DJ. “After that, all hell started breaking loose. That’s when we realized this was real.”
Urban ballroom dancing — sometimes known elsewhere as Detroit-style ballroom — is a pastime that goes back decades to venues such as the Graystone and the black patrons who crafted their own signature steps.
The style was formalized in the 1970s by Detroiters who combined the grace of classic ballroom dance with contemporary urban moves, typically to a playlist of midtempo R&B, and who took the phenomenon nationwide.
In recent years, urban ballroom has continued to draw dancers to near-daily events across metro Detroit, including group classes, lunch-hour sessions and nightclub parties. All told, the events likely draw thousands of participants collectively month to month, though dedicated ballroom dancers interviewed by the Free Press suggest there are about 500 people in the core group of enthusiasts who attend multiple events each week.
They include people from all walks of life, from blue-collar workers to nurses to judges to CEOs, said Jeannine Gant, a ballroom dancing fan from Detroit.
And coronavirus has struck the scene across the board.
“It’s really frightening — especially when you consider it’s just something you do to have fun and gather as a community,” said Gant. “The other thing that’s really concerning is you see a lot of older people ballroom dancing, so you’re talking about high-risk people here.”
For Sherrad Glosson, a Detroit dance instructor and publisher of Go Dance Detroit, the impact on the ballroom scene hits on multiple fronts: Like others in the community, he has grieved the sudden loss of multiple friends and colleagues. On top of it, as an independent business operator, he is confronting the loss of income amid the coronavirus shutdown, uncertain what forms of government relief may come his way.

Moreover, Glosson said, he worries for his students, many of them older folks who had turned to ballroom dance as therapy following divorces, family deaths and other life blows.
"It’s affecting people who were using dance to help change their lives," he said. "I’m seeing that a lot right now — people are missing out."
What's new normal for dancers?
Joelle Gwynn, a former Detroiter who lives in North Carolina, has been following the developments on her hometown ballroom scene via social media.
"I started seeing this anomaly of postings by African Americans," she said of the wave of reports about dancers who had fallen ill or died.
Gwynn is launching a campaign calling for increased coronavirus tracking and changes in testing policy. Many of the ballroom dancers who have died did not show the symptoms currently tagged as prerequisites for testing, including fever, she said. She is also calling for better tracking of outbreak clusters in high-risk populations.
"I believe they need to address this on a hierarchy of risk, based on known exposures and preexisting conditions," Gwynn said.
As the ballroom dance family continues to absorb the immediate pain of coronavirus, some are wondering what's in store for the long haul — and what the new "normal" might entail for an activity that's all about partners together, up close.
"When things are lifted, and this virus is 'clear' or 'flattened,' how does this impact the community when it’s time to return?" said Glosson. "How does it affect the morale? Will people fear: 'Do I really want to go out dancing tonight?' "
This literally could have been me if I still lived in the D. I stayed ballrooming.
That is what I said
Damn looks like final totals for the day are over 1k dead
Oh no
Why is that funny?
That was a mistake you know me better than that it’s fixed now
