[QUOTE="Roadrunner70, post: 3986525, member: 44811"] Lol. now thats funny. Get real man. Unfortunately that is not the correct statistic. Either you genuinely don't know that your missing data on your selection process when doing that on their site or you are cherry picking data. I assume its the former. But anyway....Sorry but wrong. But turns out I too was wrong....but I was just low in my average. See below and attachment. Below is the REAL source. The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (Which is the agency designed to investigate this sort of thing) records 54,539 train derailments between 1990 to 2021 in the U.S, an average of 1,704 per year Not even once in the past 30 years has it ever been under 1000 per year. If you do just the past 20 years, its still over 1500 derailments per year. [B]Since I was closer to the actual average....Check mate, I WIN [ATTACH type="full" alt="1678343745391.png"]355865[/ATTACH][/B] Site will not let me upload the actual Excel file I am afraid. So was forced to take a screenshot of it. Here's the link: Ignore the graph and click the other tab on the Excel file for actual numbers as seen in the screenshot.
