Man accused of derailing train near Navy hospital ship due to fears over coronavirus

A locomotive engineer who worked at the Port of Los Angeles is accused of intentionally derailing a train at full speed near the Navy hospital ship Mercy, prosecutors reportedly said in a federal criminal complaint.

Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro, Calif., was charged with one count of a train-wrecking statute, NBC News reported, citing a 10-page criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. The charge reportedly carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years.

The Tuesday incident was reportedly caught on video and shows the train crashing through a series of barriers before stopping more than 250 yards from the ship.

More coronavirus insanity. The odd thing about it is that the ship was there to treat non-coronavirus patients in order to free up resources for hospitals to treat coronavirus patients. It doesn't make any sense that he would derail a train over a hospital ship.

But then, he believed the ship was part of a government takeover.

In a first interview with Los Angeles port police, Moreno reportedly alleged that he “did it” and said he was suspicious of the Mercy – which arrived on Friday to treat non-coronavirus patients in an effort to free up beds at local hospitals while they focus on the surge of patients suffering from COVID-19 – and said the ship was part of a government takeover, NBC reports, citing the affidavit.

In a second interview with FBI agents, Moreno reportedly said he “did it out of the desire to ‘wake people up,’” according to NBC.
