This just in: Train strikes ship
 

Well, not quite. But a valiant effort. Things are getting weirder all the time.

Nut. I hope they give him a tin foil hat to go with his soap-on-a-rope when he gets to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

Holy hell.

My first thought when I read this? Sammy. ;)

Didn't stand a chance. He was not even pointed in the right direction. Maybe he was hoping for a deflection off of the retaining wall of the Gatway Plaza Fanfare Fountain. The hospital ship is tied up where the cruise ship is in this image. His trajectory is shown by the red arrow.

^^^ That girl was sooo ugly she made a freight train take a concrete parking lot towards a boat ^^^^^^

Is there a prize for the most misleading title for an article?

Train engineers aren’t used to having to steer.

I have to agree.

Hey, but at least he tried... I bet no one else here tried to put a train in a ship today!

Moreno allegedly told officers and FBI investigators that he deliberately derailed the train because he was suspicious of the Mercy's intentions and thought it was actually part of a government takeover, the complaint said.

"Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack," according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California. "While admitting to intentionally derailing and crashing the train, he said he knew it would bring media attention and 'people could see for themselves,' referring to the Mercy."

I hope they publicize whatever website or message board that guy had been visiting that gave him his ideas... so we can all go check it out.
