No not that kind.
While not discounting the possibility of false-flag terrorism, I suspect western intelligence agencies are behind this.
When you look at the overall plan, it behooves USrael to have the Russians and the Chinese bogged down on their borders: less ability to assist Iran or Pakistan in the next phase of the world domination plot.
"Russian train derails; at least 25 dead" by Associated Press | November 28, 2009
MOSCOW - An express train carrying hundreds of passengers from Moscow to St. Petersburg derailed late yesterday, killing at least 25 people and injuring dozens of others, emergency officials said.
The state-run railway company said the derailment could have been the result of sabotage, fueling fears of terrorism.... Russian Railways said the cause was not yet determined but one possibility was sabotage. Russian news agencies cited unidentified officials as saying a small crater was found at the site of the wreck, leading to speculation that it could have been caused by explosives.
A bomb blast on the same line in 2007 derailed a passenger train and injured 27 people. Two suspects have been arrested and authorities are searching for a former military officer they believe was behind the blast.
That does NOT SOUND RIGHT at all!!!!
Terrorism has been a major concern in Russia since the devastating wars pitting Chechen rebels against government forces in the 1990s. Violence stemming from those conflicts has included deadly bombings in the Moscow subway and attacks that brought two passenger jets down in 2004.
When the MSM trumpets "terrorist" attacks here I am suspicious. Given all the 9/11 BS that is repeated ad nauseum. You begin to wonder when they crow about certain events and bury others.

Why the newspaper kept the next sentence my printed matter axed is up to you to figure out.
But deadly accidents have also been blamed on negligence and Russia’s deteriorating Soviet-era infrastructure.
So it might just have been neglect, huh?

"Bomb blamed in train crash; Russian officials say 26 killed in terrorist attack" by Sergei L. Loiko and Megan K. Stack, Los Angeles Times | November 29, 2009
MOSCOW - A homemade bomb planted on railway tracks by unidentified terrorists derailed a Moscow-to-St. Petersburg passenger train carrying more than 650 passengers Friday, killing at least 26 people and injuring dozens more, Russian authorities said yesterday.
Authorities said an improvised explosive device equivalent to about 15 pounds of TNT detonated when the Nevsky Express passed over it at about 9:30 p.m. Friday. Traces of the device were found at the scene, but there were no immediate suspects, officials said.
Well that CERTAINLY DOESN'T GIBE with the BRIEF ABOVE! As for figuring who is really behind this, I'm not going to be able to figure that out reading the Boston Globe.
“Indeed, this was a terrorist attack,’’ said Vladimir Markin, a spokesman for the investigative committee of Russia’s General Prosecutor’s Office, according to Interfax....
This is starting to have a real stink to it, Russians.
As of late yesterday, officials were preparing sketches of possible suspects but did not know who was responsible for the attack....
Late yesterday afternoon, when the cleanup and restoration work was in progress, another smaller explosion occurred not far away, said Russian Railways head Vladimir Yakunin. No injuries were reported, the minister said.
Now I'm back to suspecting the West again.

Oh, I'm sorry, my Sunday paper carried this piece, not the one I just analyzed (sigh).

MOSCOW — The cause of the crash of one of Russia’s most illustrious trains was identified on Saturday as a homemade bomb that went off on the tracks between Moscow and St. Petersburg, killing more than 25 people, wounding scores of others and raising fears of a new era of terrorism here.
LA Times, New York Times, they read the same.
Officials called the explosion on Friday night the worst terrorist attack in Russia in years, outside volatile Muslim parts of the North Caucasus region, which includes Chechnya. There were no immediate credible claims of responsibility.
So who is in charge of deciding what is credible down at AmeriKa's number one war liar and propagandist, huh?
The force of the crash crumpled parts of the luxury train, propelling several of its 14 cars off the tracks, trapping passengers in smashed compartments and scattering luggage in the nearby woods.
All from a small crater?
People on the train described a scene of panic and devastation in a rural area that was difficult for rescuers to reach. The train, the Nevsky Express, is a preferred means of travel for the Russian elite between the country’s two most important cities. Among the dead were a former senator and a senior official in the federal economics ministry.
Hmmmmmm. A government warning to important Russians?
At the attack site, 200 miles northwest of Moscow, investigators reported Saturday that they had found remnants of a homemade bomb, equivalent to 15 pounds of TNT, that left a crater five feet deep. The bomb was apparently planted on the tracks and detonated while the second half of the train was passing.
That's odd; the LA Times reported the Russian government saying the bomb was half as powerful
Vladimir I. Yakunin, president of Russian Railways, said: “The basic version that is being investigated by the lead investigators is that it was an unknown device, by unknown persons. Simply put, a terrorist act.”
What about that "former" military officer?
Mr. Yakunin said a second, less powerful explosive went off Saturday at the site of the crash. No one was hurt. On Saturday night, federal investigators were going house to house in the area around the crash, asking residents whether they had noticed anyone or anything suspicious recently. Russia suffered a wave of attacks in the early part of the decade as Muslim separatists from Chechnya struck trains and public places in Moscow and elsewhere, but there have been no such deadly assaults in recent years....
However....
Which again sends the suspicion back West!
For Russians, the attack on Friday night may be reminiscent of terrorist acts that stirred unease across the country earlier in the decade, when Muslim separatists from Chechnya made passenger trains, subways and other public places targets. A 2003 suicide bombing attack on a commuter train near Chechnya killed 44. At least 12 people were wounded in 2005 when a bomb derailed a train headed from Chechnya to Moscow. And in 2002, more than 100 hostages died in a rescue attempt after Chechen terrorists seized a theater in the heart of Moscow.
When the NYT implicates Chechens I almost certain it is "Al-CIA-Duh." Bill Clinton used them there during the 1990s to keep Russia weak and destabilized.
I guess we will see in the coming days, huh?
Or maybe not, considering my source.

"Russians mourn victims of train wreck" by Associated Press | November 30, 2009
MOSCOW - Russians mourned at religious services and soccer stadiums yesterday after a deadly train wreck that authorities blamed on a terrorist bomb. The leader of the Russian Orthodox Church urged the nation not to give in to fear....
If confirmed as caused by a bombing, the wreck would be Russia’s deadliest terrorist attack outside the violence-plagued North Caucasus provinces in five years. Television networks took entertainment programs off the air and moments of silence were observed before matches on the final Sunday of the Russian football league....
Again, the false-flag feel of it all.
Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu said at least 25 people were killed and 26 were unaccounted for, though he said some may have survived uninjured or never have boarded the train. The ministry later said the number unaccounted for was down to 12.
I'm sorry; I'm just having a hard time believing governments these days.

My first suspicion, and when you think about it, what government wouldn't cover it up? Would you want your people to know you don't control your own country?
