An engineer told police he purposely crashed a train at high speed near the USNS Mercy hospital ship, in what seems to be a bizarre attempt to expose a perceived conspiracy. He said he doesn't believe 'the ship is what they say it's for,' officials say.
Prosecutors say the USNS Mercy, seen last week entering the Port of Los Angeles, was the target of a train engineer's unsuccessful attack on Tuesday. The derailed train slid to a halt more than 250 yards from the hospital ship. The Mercy was unharmed, and no one was injured.Prosecutors say the USNS Mercy, seen last week entering the Port of Los Angeles, was the target of a train engineer's unsuccessful attack on Tuesday.
The train was traveling at a very high speed when it crashed through barriers, plowed under a highway overpass and skidded to a stop more than 250 yards from the Mercy. The ship was not harmed during the attempted attack, and no injuries were reported. "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," Moreno allegedly told a California Highway Patrol officer who apprehended him immediately after the incident.
Moreno then attempted to flee the scene, only to be taken into custody by the highway patrol officer.
