By ABC7.com staff Updated 3 minutes ago SAN PEDRO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed near the Port of Los Angeles in an attempt to crash into and damage the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say. The Pacific Harbor Line train derailed Tuesday, running through the end of the track and crashing through barriers, finally coming to rest about 250 yards from the docked naval ship. Federal prosecutors allege train engineer Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro intended to hit the ship, saying he thought it was "suspicious" and did not believe "the ship is what they say it's for.'" The train crashed into a concrete barrier at the end of the track, smashed through a steel barrier and a chain-link fence, slid through one parking lot and then a second lot filled with gravel and hit a second chain-link fence. It came to rest after passing under a ramp leading to the Vincent Thomas Bridge. The train remained in that position Wednesday. No one was injured in the derailment, but the train leaked fuel that required a hazmat response. The U.S. Navy hospital ship Mercy received its first patients Sunday after docking at the Port of Los Angeles. Authorities say Moreno admitted to crashing the train intentionally, but said he did not plan it out in advance. It is believed that he acted alone. He allegedly made statements to a CHP officer that included "You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don't know what's going on here. Now they will." Officials say video from inside the train's cab shows Moreno holding a lighted flare during the incident. Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. The Mercy arrived at the Port of Los Angeles this weekend. The Navy hospital ship was brought in to handle non-coronavirus patients, to help ease the burden of local hospitals that are surging with COVID-19 cases. The ship has about 1,000 hospital beds, with some 800 active-duty doctors, nurses and medical staff on board. It is expected to stay in Los Angeles at least until September or until it is no longer needed.
目前,涉事的工程师已经被移交联邦调查局(FBI),被控重罪。
根据KTLA的报道,3月31日(周二)下午12点20分,太平洋港线 (Pacific Harbor Line)的一辆火车突然脱轨,先是撞上了轨道尽头的一个混凝土护栏,然后穿过多个停车场,最终在离“慈悲号”医疗舰约250码(约230米)处停了下来。
警方到达现场时,火车已经完全脱离轨道,车底全部是损坏的碎片。
所幸此次事件中未发生人员伤亡。不过,由于火车在脱轨过程中发生了燃油泄漏,需要采取危险应对措施。
美国联邦检察官表示,涉事的火车工程师因涉嫌将一辆火车驶离轨道,企图撞毁“慈悲号”医疗舰,正面临联邦指控。这名工程师的动机竟然是因为怀疑这一切与政府的阴谋有关。
涉事工程师爱德华多·莫雷诺(Eduardo Moreno),今年44岁,是圣佩德罗(San Pedro)居民。
调查人员表示,莫雷诺在接受警方询问时承认了是自己动了手脚,故意让火车驶离轨道撞上医疗舰。
根据他的描述,自己怀疑医疗舰停靠洛杉矶是有秘密的,与政府阴谋有关,希望自己的举动能够唤醒大家,并希望这起脱轨事件能够引起媒体的关注,以便让人们能够亲眼看到军舰上的“秘密”。
警方在逮捕了莫雷诺后,搜索了他的住所和火车驾驶室。根据驾驶室里找到的视频显示,火车事故发生时,莫雷诺正手持一枚点燃的照明弹。
莫雷诺于4月1日下午首次出庭,被控一项火车失事罪名,如果罪名成立,他将面临最高20年的联邦监禁。
联邦调查局和洛杉矶港口警方正在继续调查此次事故。
不像,精神病不会是工程师还有火车钥匙。这么预谋沉舰杀人的更像是恐怖分子。
我也好奇。不过这种奇葩的脑回路,我等凡人理解不了就对了。
工程师这个职业最早是围着火车锅炉转的人。
