In the past two years, the FBI has investigated over 40 rail sabotage cases in Washington state, primarily involving shunt devices that disrupt train signals, leading to derailments. One incident in 2020 caused a train to spill 30,000 gallons of crude oil. Despite the severity of these acts, perpetrators often face minimal consequences. In the last year, over 1,000 train derailments occurred in the U.S., and recent attacks on the power grid have gone largely unreported. Additionally, there have been multiple hacking attempts on water treatment facilities, including a significant incident in Florida where sodium hydroxide levels were dangerously increased. The EPA has been criticized for not adequately securing the nation's water and wastewater systems against threats, raising concerns about the safety of essential infrastructure like food, water, and energy.
