Brightline bankruptcy: 200 deaths vs. 28,000 on Florida roads
The "murder train" label is doing a lot of work when Florida roads kill 28,000 people and injure 2.125 million in the same timeframe that Brightline killed 200+.
Brightline's running at street level through quiet zones with hundreds of grade crossings and unfenced track. One death every 13 days in South Florida. It's a disaster of bad urban planning.
But let's be honest about scale. The actual mass casualty event is what happens when you design a state around cars and call it normal.
The train's going bankrupt and restructuring $1.1 billion in debt. It'll keep operating anyway.
The murder train is going bankrupt! 👀 The deadliest train in America, Brightline, which has killed 200+ people since 2017, is getting ready to restructure $1.1 billion in dead. The Brightline is notorious in South Florida for killing someone on average every 13 days. High-speed trains running at street level through quiet zones, hundreds of grade crossings, long stretches of unfenced track. Despite the bankruptcy, the train will continue operating as normal for now!
