"Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack," according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California. "While admitting to intentionally derailing and crashing the train, he said he knew it would bring media attention and 'people could see for themselves,' referring to the Mercy."

Well, I guess there is only one possible response to this - banning of all trains over ten cars. Seems that Mrs Moreno has started a go-fund-me to help her poor deluded husband fight his corner...oh, wait, he's already admitted the crime of train-wrecking. Add the urban terrorism charge to that and he's looking at spending the rest of his life watching trains on Youtube.

However, I'd just like to say, from furriner's perspective, that's it's really heartening to see that the Golden Gate State can still produce wackos of such cosmic ineptitude.

I can just imagine the longgggg line of "sane" people wanting his job.

BTW.....did his employer even consider his sanity at ANY time? Rrrright…... We gun owners must prove our fitness to buy guns but practically anyone can drive a train.

Aloha, Mark

PS.....perhaps some would have been happier if he mentioned "SKYNET" during his confession?

Sad, already likely borderline coupled with extreme amounts of fear. He and the Tiger King would have got along swimmingly!

Ha.... he'll probably get elected to mayor of LA, or the California governorship.

He must not have read that sign alongside the tracks that said,
"The end is near."

The end of the tracks is like the end of the runway,
You have to stop, or fly...

The sped up video of the train is what it looks like riding the Maglev in Shanghai. Passing 80mph vehicles like they are standing still.
