This didn't happen this month, in fact it happened back in April. I actually watched footage of this derailment a few months ago and thought it was crazy this rail fan caught it on video. Welp, turns out the 17 year old rail fan was the cause of the derailment. This happened in Nebraska, all I can do is shake my head. The teenager is being tried as an adult, this is federal law too since it involves the railroad industry. He wanted the clout, now he'll be doing the time. Word of advice, don't do something stupid like this for views. But hey, that's never going to stop. There's always going to be someone wanting the next viral video and will do something dumb for likes and views.
