15 hurt in Florida when train hits fire truck that drove onto tracks after another train passed
Three firefighters and a dozen passengers were injured in Florida on Saturday when a fire truck with its lights flashing drove around rail crossing arms and into the path of a high-speed passenger train after waiting for another train to pass, according to video of the incident and a person briefed on what happened.
The crash happened at 10:45 a.m. in crowded downtown Delray Beach. In the aftermath the Brightline train was stopped on the tracks, its front destroyed, about a block away from the Delray Beach Fire Rescue truck. Its ladder was ripped off and in the grass several yards away, The Sun-Sentinel reported.
The Delray Beach Fire Rescue said in a social media post that three Delray Beach firefighters were in stable condition at a hospital. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue took 12 people from the train to the hospital with minor injuries.
The person familiar with the details of the crash, who was not authorized to disclose what happened because of the ongoing investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the fire truck stopped at the crossing and waited for a freight train to go by before maneuvering around the lowered crossing arms.
Video of the collision shows the fire truck driving around cars stopped at the crossing with its lights flashing to cross the double tracks.
Emmanuel Amaral rushed to the scene on his golf cart after hearing a loud crash and screeching train brakes from where he was having breakfast a couple of blocks away. He saw firefighters climbing out of the front window of their damaged truck and pulling injured colleagues away from the tracks. One of their helmets came to rest several hundred feet away from the crash.
“The front of that train is completely smashed, and there was even some of the parts to the fire truck stuck in the front of the train, but it split the car right in half. It split the fire truck right in half, and the debris was everywhere,” Amaral said.
A Brightline safety officer said the entire community is involved in ensuring railroad safety and drivers should never go around closed gates.
The Federal Railroad Administration will investigate. A spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board said in the afternoon that it was still gathering information about the crash and had not decided yet whether to investigate.
The NTSB is already investigating two crashes involving Brightline’s high-speed trains that killed three people early this year at the same crossing in Melbourne along the railroad’s route between Miami and Orlando.
More than 100 people have died after being hit by trains since Brightline began operations in July 2017 — giving the railroad the worst death rate in the nation. But most of those deaths have been either suicides, pedestrians who tried to run across the tracks ahead of a train or drivers who went around crossing gates instead of waiting for a train to pass. Brightline has not been found to be at fault in those previous deaths.
Railroad safety has been a concern since a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, in February 2023, spilling toxic chemicals that caught fire. Regulators urged the industry to improve safety and members of Congress proposed a package of reforms, but railroads have not made many major changes to their operations and the bill has stalled.
Earlier this month the two operators of a Union Pacific train were killed after it collided with a semitrailer truck that was blocking a crossing in the small West Texas town of Pecos. Three other people were injured, and the local Chamber of Commerce building was damaged. ___

Florida Is Debuting a New Material for Building Roads. There’s Just One Problem: It’s Radioactive
The Environmental Protection Agency recently gave a private company the green light to use phosphogypsum, a radioactive byproduct of fertilizer, in road construction.
When phosphogypsum decays, it forms radon, a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer.
Using radioactive material to build roads in Florida. Earlier this week, the Environmental Protection Agency approved the request of Mosaic, the largest phosphate producer in the U.S., to carry out a small-scale pilot project using various mixtures of phosphogypsum as a road base. The company plans to create four sections of test road with the phosphogypsum road base at its New Wales facility in Polk County.

United passenger ‘banned’ from airline after peeing on another flyer: ‘Soaked from his stomach down’
This plane passenger pissed off a lot of people.
United Airlines has banned a man from flying on their aircraft for allegedly urinating on another passenger.
Jerome Gutierrez was traveling in business class on UA Flight 189 from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Manila, Philippines, on Dec. 27 when a man got up from his seat about four hours into the flight and began peeing on him, his stepdaughter said.

“He was asleep and buckled in and was surprised when he looked at the man and thought he was dreaming,” Nicole Cornell, Gutierrez’s stepdaughter, told SFGATE.
After the pee perp finished his business, “Jerome realized he was soaked from his stomach down [to his feet] in that man’s urine.”
The Bay Area resident remained sitting in his “soaked” clothes for eight more hours after the incident.
United Airlines flight attendants asked Gutierrez “not to approach the man in fear that there would be a confrontation and he would become violent,” Cornell shared.
“They put the needs of the airline before my stepdad‘s health,” Cornell exclaimed. “I am so disgusted and in shock with how United Airlines handled this! That is a biohazard, and the plane should’ve turned around to address this issue.”
She added that the man who urinated on her stepfather apologized and begged him “not to press charges.”
A spokesperson for United Airlines confirmed to The Post that there was “a passenger disturbance” on the flight in question and that the passenger had been “banned.”
“On December 28 we asked police to meet our flight when it arrived in Manila to address a passenger disturbance. We have banned this passenger,” they said.
Now, if a black man had done half of this in the first 30 seconds.... Man you have to watch this whole video! fuckin' wow! The police officer should be fired from his job because he would not have shown that level of compassion towards a black man.

Ex-Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding charged with ordering killings in cocaine trafficking ring
An ex-Olympic snowboarder who remains a fugitive is facing federal charges alleging he ordered killings as part of a cocaine trafficking ring that ran stash houses in Los Angeles and trafficked drugs across North America, an operation prosecutors have described as ruthless and deadly.
Ryan James Wedding, 43, competed for Canada in the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games before he was convicted in 2010 of attempting to buy cocaine from a U.S. government agent. He is currently on the run and living in Mexico, federal prosecutors say, as he faces eight felony charges including murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime. A superseding indictment unsealed Thursday details charges against him and 15 other defendants.
The FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and extradition of Wedding, who authorities say should be considered armed and dangerous.
A federal warrant for his arrest was issued on Sept. 17.
"For the last 13 years, Wedding ran this criminal enterprise," U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Martin Estrada told reporters during a news conference Thursday, describing the alleged drug ring as a "ruthless" operation that made billions of dollars.
Several defendants already arrested in the case are scheduled to appear in court this coming week in Miami, Los Angeles and Michigan.
Ryan Clark, 34, is a fellow Canadian citizen who has been described by prosecutors as Wedding's right-hand man. He was arrested on Oct. 8, according to federal prosecutors.
In November 2023, Wedding and Clark allegedly ordered the killing of a couple who was visiting Canada from India. They had believed the two people were responsible for a lost cocaine shipment, Estrada said, but that wasn't actually the case.
"This was a case of mistaken identity," Estrada said. "They were killed in cold blood in front of their daughter, who was also shot 13 times."
On average, the drug trafficking operation would allegedly ship around 60 tons of cocaine through North America, Estrada said. For instance, in March 2024, it allegedly delivered 293 kilograms of cocaine, or about 646 pounds, for shipment and distribution to Canada and another shipment the following month contained 375.1 kilograms, or 827 pounds, federal authorities said.
Prosecutors said several defendants possessed about 1.8 tons of cocaine with a street value of around $23 to $25 million.
Multiple murders were committed as part of the drug network and cryptocurrency was used to launder millions of dollars — federal investigators seized $3 million from one cryptocurrency wallet alone, Estrada said.
"They would use contract killers to assassinate anyone who they saw as an obstacle to their operation," Estrada said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California displays seizures made as part of an investigation into an alleged drug ring operating out of Los Angeles and across North America. Prosecutors announced federal charges on Oct. 17, 2024, against 16 defendants including ex-Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding. KCAL News
Mass quantities of cocaine were sourced from Columbia, where it was cooked or manufactured in so-called cocaine kitchens, before being transported into Mexico, according to federal prosecutors. From there, the cocaine was allegedly trafficked into the U.S. in long-haul trucks and brought into Southern California.
"Once in the United States, they used the Los Angeles area as a hub for their transportation network," Estrada said, saying Canadian handlers would go to stash houses in LA to coordinate the transportation of cocaine to the East Coast and Canada.
After reaching the highest level in his sport, Wedding has allegedly spent more than a decade running an expansive — and deadly — drug ring, according to prosecutors. "He chose to become a major trafficker and he chose to become a killer," Estrada said.
This year, in May, Wedding and Clark are accused of ordering the killing of a man who was fatally shot as he sat inside his car in the driveway of his home.
Estrada said people killed in connection with the drug operation have been "shot execution-style."
According to federal prosecutors, Wedding has been known to go by aliases including "Giant," "El Jefe" and "Public Enemy."
As part of the case, investigators have seized more than 1 ton of cocaine, $255,400 in U.S. cash, more than $3.2 million in cryptocurrency, three firearms and dozens of rounds of ammunition.
