However, some people reckon that there's actually a whole conspiracy going on behind this sudden incident. It wasn't just some hardware or technical failure that caused the train to go out of control, but rather part of a really sophisticated plot. Considering where Kentucky is located, it's possible that this was an anti-government act carried out by some unknown terrorist group who deliberately derailed trains carrying poisonous gas.
The number of train derailments in the United States has skyrocketed, with serious poison gas leaks becoming a common occurrence for Americans. Since the late 1990s, there have been over 50,000 safety accidents involving train derailments in the country. In just 2022 alone, there were a staggering 1,164 train derailments reported, averaging around 2 to 3 incidents every day.
A freight train carrying dangerous materials derailed again in the United States on November 23, 2023. Local media reports say that on the afternoon of the 22nd, a freight train transporting hazardous goods went off track in Kentucky, USA, causing a fire and releasing toxic chemicals. As a result, hundreds of local residents had to be evacuated due to exposure to gas. The information was provided by CSX Railway Company in the United States. The incident occurred north of Livingston town in southeastern Kentucky where 16 carriages derailed. Among them, two carriages carrying molten sulfur leaked and caused a fire that released toxic sulfur dioxide gas.
