Was it widely known that these lawmakers were on this train?
Alex Jones and InfoWars are pushing the story that this was a left-wing terrorist attack, designed to distract from #45's "unifying" SOTU address. Apparently that was, and I quote, a "Democratic dump truck" that purposefully caused the accident. Because we all know trucks have political affiliations.

They mentioned the possibility on the news. Plus the speculation here how the garbage truck was on the track. Whether or not it was known it was a train full of lawmakers or a train full of ordinary people, deliberately causing a crash with the intent to harm would be terrorism

I was just coming In to ask if Kellyanne is going to be on tv tonight blaming this on Obama and the Dems.

I don’t think it was terrorism, but the train was chartered by the GOP, so it’s possible people know where/when the train would travel and who would be aboard.
Many of the same lawmakers were at the softball field when the shooting happened, and have said that when they felt the train jolt they feared it was another attack. It sounds like many tried life-saving efforts on two people from the garbage truck.
This is pretty close to where I went to HS and where H and I got married.
ETA: even though I don’t like the people on board, I’m glad there weren’t more injuries and I feel very bad for the family of the person who died.
