A Brightline high-speed train collided with a firetruck in downtown Delray Beach, Florida, injuring 15 people, including three firefighters.

    We have a monthly sacrifice to the bright line. Unfortunate because I really enjoyed riding it but they have to do something about this.

      Most deaths are idiots crossing the train tracks, not riding in the train. Maybe read the fucking article?
