The typical derailment is just that. A wheel or two came off the track. Put the rerail frog under it and pull/push it back on. Happens literally thousands of times for every major accident like this. The nature of narrow steel wheels with a little flange keeping them on a narrow steel rail.

Honestly given the level of willful negligence that Boeing has engaged in, I think that they ought to owe a hell of a lot more than 1 billion.  millions of passengers have been put in danger because they cut every corner possible with their recent planes.  

You’re right. We’ve been trained to call these “derailments” like we’ve been trained that an auto accident is a “whoopsie, someone had an accident today when they plowed right into a bus stop, killing 5".

i always find it interesting how you americans call these “derailments”. where i’m from something that involves cranes and produces scrap metal is far beyond a simple derailment and would be called a major accident

US Pedestrian safety guidelines:

The CT is not going to be sold internationally due to its serious lack of pedestrian safety. Keep in mind that Tesla insisted that they couldn’t add a tone generator so that Blind People could hear their EV approaching, unlike other EV makers...

What morons!

This is America, we don’t have standards for pedestrian safety.

How do trucks like this pass pedestrian safety? A large flat metal front with sharp corners. Or because it is a truck its exempt?

Hmm...

Yeah this is pretty fucking hilarious. “Well there’s your problem, you got your hundred thousand dollar piece of transportation machinery SLIGHTLY DAMP. What did you expect?”

Truck owners usually like to brag about what their truck can DO, like drive through a two foot deep stream in the woods not having shield it from routine weather.

I’m happy that Jezebel has survived the evil of herb.

Dakota Johnson . . . thinks outting nepo babies is “lame” and journalists should write something more interesting.

“...their new podcast, Sorry We’re Stoned, which basically just sees the mother-daughter duo having conversations about anything and everything while high as kites...”

The “cool mom” in Mean Girls was parenting an elementary-school-aged child and a high-school-aged teen. Miley’s mom appears to have developed adult friendships with her adult children (youngest is 24) after parenting all FIVE of them into self-supporting adulthood. Good on her. I hope to achieve as much with my two

Damnit, Audra, I’ve got to tip my hat to you for, “Miley’s mom has got it goin’on.” Evidently I need a nap!

I feel like at least there are more older actresses getting parts instead of Jennifer Lawrence playing all 20/30/40 year olds. Sophia Vergera is 50 (not like a normal human 50, but still 50) and did a great job on Griselda.

This also doesn’t ~entirely speak to the complaint, that meaty roles that are not intellectually degrading are not being written for younger women. You get a lot of Summer I Turned Pretty/My Life with the Whatever Boys type of stuff. I dare say that young men are being poorly served in the not-condescending content

If you knew what you are doing then you would be familiar with the study that comes out every year that deep dives into the actual numbers of roles for women. All the way down to line counts.
