In Obama's world, America sucks. We suck because we haven't followed the Chinese model in the world, complete with its high-speed rail, something Obama was quite envious of during his State of the Union address as he described the Chinese advances in the world as overtaking America.
Since Obama's State of the Union address, the mainstream media has ignored the truth about the Chinese trains. They are over budget and their maintenance records aren't something that makes me want to experience the thrill of high speed rail. Now it appears the questionable safety of these trains has killed some people.
A Chinese bullet train crashed into another high-speed train that had stalled after being struck by lightning Saturday in eastern China, causing four carriages to fall off a viaduct and killing at least 32 people and injuring 191 others, state media reported.The first train was traveling from the Zhejiang provincial capital of Hangzhou when it lost power in the lightning strike and was hit from behind by the second train in Wenzhou city at 8:27 p.m. (1230 GMT), the official Xinhua News Agency said.
