A Light Rail Driver Told Scared Passengers to "Relax!" . . . After Falling Asleep and Nearly Crashing

There's so much unnecessary stress in TRANSPORTATION . . . simply going from Point A to Point B. Light rail SEEMS like it'd be smoother than driving, flying, bike riding, and even walking in some areas . . . but not always.

A video has just been released from an incident that happened on September 24th in San Francisco, where a light rail train FLEW into a curve at a high-speed and severely jolted passengers.

It was going around 50 miles per hour, which is WAY higher than the average speed of 8 to 10 miles per hour.

The operator had apparently dozed off.

In the video, you can see the driver slumped over, before being shaken awake during the rough turn.

The driver managed to regain control, and slowed the train to a stop. The passengers were shrieking and screaming . . . so the driver opened the door to the first car, and said, quote, "I'm sorry. Relax, relax, relax . . . We didn't crash. Relax." The train did not derail . . . but passengers thought it might.

Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene, and most passengers were okay, with just minor bumps or bruises. But at least one person claims they slammed their head and they were treated for a concussion.

There was an investigation, and officials confirmed that the cause was, quote, "operator fatigue." They also said the operator has been placed on "non-driving status."

They said safety is a priority . . . they're committed to accountability . . . and they're "reinforcing existing training on the importance of watching for signs of fatigue and reporting it appropriately."

Goodwill Gr***de

A routine day at a Goodwill store in Fort Pierce, Florida turned into a very serious day last week when a worker was going through some donations and discovered a gr***de.

Police were called to the scene just before 1 p.m., and upon arrival, officers confirmed the object was indeed a gr***de. That’s when the St. Lucie County Bomb Disposal Unit stepped in. They verified the device was real and safely removed it without incident. Authorities say there’s no indication this was done intentionally, and thankfully, there’s no ongoing threat to the public. The investigation is still underway to figure out how the explosive ended up in the donation bin.

Oddly enough, this isn't the first time a gr***de has been discovered in a Goodwill donation bin. In fact, there have been at least seven reported cases in just the past 10 years. The most recent was last year when a World War Two-era Japanese gr***de was found at a Goodwill store in Wisconsin.

A gr***de discovered among donated items at a Fort Pierce Goodwill store prompted a bomb squad response Friday afternoon, police said.
