Yikes! A train derailment… That’s never a good sign.
Sometimes it is. When you are tied up on a train track, and the villain is standing next to you twirling his handlebar mustache, you want nothing more than to see that fucker derail.
Yeah… not so good if you’re the guy twirling the moustache. By the way, A) not all villans have handlebar moustaches, some have the “hitler” tash; B) We’re not all evil, some of us are just misunderstood.
What’s funny is that if the so-called villan thinks that he is doing the right thing by committing murder, he is actually good. If a man goes insane and decides that New York is the portal to heck and must be destroyed, then somehow aquires a nuke and blows up New Your killing millions of innocent people, he is tecnically not evil, but good. Alignment is determined not by the action, but the motive behind it. Therefore we can justify that Osama bin Laden is actually good.
I think we should all just agree that some fuckers need to be tied to train tracks
i.e. George Bush
agreed
Obama first.
I want the Taliban to contact the US government and media with this message: “We do not hate America. We simply wish for George W. Bush to be decapitated, and his head to be kicked around the streets like a soccer ball.”
I’m just wondering how many citizens will go, “Hey, funny, that’s what I want too! Me and Osama, we’re like brothers, man, seriously.”
you need to take some philosophy classes. dumbass.
touche, touche. T-O-O-S-H-A-Y
I really doubt the villian would just be standing there twirling his moustache either ;]
had the same thing happen on 2 different shipments. there response:
we have no control over some deliveries!!!
well, yea. I highly doubt they cam stop a derailment
I know, I know.
spelling fail
Likewise here. I’m absolutely aghast at how many trains derail in our great country, that about 1/3 of the time I ship with UPS . . . the train my stuff is on derails.
Seriously – you’d think they’d know how to package my exotic lubes so the train won’t just slide away.
I live in New Stanton D:
I’ve seen that on one of my packages! That must of been the same train!
First!@
Doh!
First to fail at commenting you mean.
Tracking Report:
Train Derailment.
Your shipment of medical supplies and steel rail ties have now been reordered from the manufacturer…we thought the train company needed it more…
Lol! that would be a fail
If he was Randy Orton, he’d be the joke killer and the legend killer! 2 for the price of 1!
Call from UPS “We be happy to compensate you on this…. If you purchased insurance.”
Unless the package was declared worth $100 or less, then it’s automatically insured by UPS for $100 or the actual value of the package, whichever is less.
wow… joke killer

It’s more of a shipping fail. Seems like a tracking win to me, in that there was a timely notification of what went wrong.
Interesting perspective.
I wonder if he could still pickup his shipment from the accident site?
Ouch.
Ha Ha, I had this happen to me once! Too bad I didn’t get a screen shot
Tracking Success! Shipping Fail!
Conspiracy alert!!!! The DEA will go to extremes to make sure that Johnny Penn State never gets those Mexican Vicodin he ordered off the web…..
Bad, bad, Johnny!!!!! “Pain relief” Fail!!!!
70 pounds!?!?!? WTF was in the box?!???
A small albino child.
Or a small piano.
Or perhaps a small piano-playing albino child?
Damn, I wondered what happened to Timmy. Now I know.
Holy shit!!! I think I pissed my pants……Is it Edgar Winters kid????
(Hiding my age Fail)
Lol… no… its his brother, Johnny in the box. He only looks like he weighs 70 lbs
pr0n
Not a tracking fail. The tracking worked just fine. I would call it an alternative “Shipment of Fail” because it is the shipment that failed, not the tracking.
Train tracking fail?
More like “Train track tracking fail”.
If you look up this package on UPS.com it shows it was delivered the next day. Shipping success!
That’s what you get for trying to send something to Penn State
Tracking win, shipping fail.
“We were doing well at getting your shipment of fail to you, until the train fell off the track. Um, sorry about that.”
(Aside: I wish the commenting system bothered to tell you that it requires Javascript to work)
And why did it fall of the track? Tracking fail.
This seems fake – put in the UPS tracking number yourself into the UPS site, it doesn’t show any of these stops.
Plus the second stop happened BEFORE the first.
FAIL at FAKE!
time difference? And the tracking number wouldn’t be likely to work anymore; it was shipped in January.
INVESTIGATIVE FAIL
Next time, just keep your e-mouth shut. If you’re right, you can be happy that you were right. If you are wrong, you can be glad you don’t look like an asshat.
You’re the asshat.
Yeah, that’s a clever, well-thought-out, meaningful response. What reason do you have to insult me? I haven’t offended you as far as I know.
Ohh, snipper!
In regards to the second stop before the first, it’s an issue with a time zone difference. I’m not sure where Guadalajara is, but it’s not in the same time zone as Penn State, that for suer. I’ve had many a package that gets “picked up” several hours before I placed the order. And once the day before. ^_^
That’s what happens when you get time-travellers making deliveries.
If you don’t know where Guadalajara is…….You should just be thankful…..Trust me.
I track stuff all the time with ups.com – and this shows up more than you’d think. My co-workers and I think it’s a euphemism for “we fucked up and your package is going to be REALLY late”. I mean, how many freaking train derailments can you have and still stay in business??

Patience Fail.
The packages are almost always picked up before the billing information is transmitted to UPS, hence the discrepancy with the times.
Still funny, though.
Then explain what happens when you put the tracking number from the picture in the UPS tracking site yourself.
http://www.ups.com/us
Attention Span Fail.
Look like 3 posts up. The tracking number isn’t going to work anymore when it happened so long ago.
This is my new favorite blog. Fantastic!
It was an IBM x3450
It was an IBM x3450
This doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t get there package though, right?
explain what happens
Looks like it got delivered a week later. Seems plausible to me.
God I hate UPS. They are an epic fail every day.
I think I found the news item reporting this! Whee!
http://www.ble.org/pr/news/headline.asp?id=22054
Investigative Fail. The derailment in your news story happened on May 4; the derailment in this fail happened on January 31.
I work at UPS, and can assure you the incident itself definitely is not fake, although I can’t speak for this particular image. At the end of January (the end of the month is usually a high-volume time as is) a few cars went off track in PA. Not a huge derailment, nothing you’d see on the news or anything, but enough to set off a disruption that bounced throughout the entire system as packages were routed to different places to compensate.
i also remember this derailment.
Getting back to the more interesting question… what did a college guy order from Guadalajara Mexico that weighed 70 pounds?????? Guadalajara is considered Mexico’s silicon valley, with a thriving electronics industry. It also has a thriving pharmaceutical industry. So while the albino piano playing child theory is interesting, computer components or scientific equipment or a very large supply of drugs are all more likely.
I’m going to go with an empty computer tower filled to the brim with after-market Oxycotin, Viagra, and anti-depressants.
Me like opiates….Me get good grades….Me hear ringing in ears and everything is fine……..just fine…..Me get goo…….ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Doesnt it seem kind of odd that after the arrival scans, the package was in the facility for at least an hour before it left on a truck? But 33 minutes after the package arrived at the facility, it had already left, and the train had already de-railed?
A derailment does not nessicarily mean a crash…
Nope, but the news I read suggested that two trains collided. whoopsie!
reminds me of those silly story problems in algebra class… one train leaves Guadalajara going 50kph, 3 hours later another train leaves Washington DC going 30mph, how long will it take them to collide in New Stanton, PA?
Train Engineers were smoking the guy’s 70 lb of Mexican weed.
Which is why I always say….Buy American!!!!!! The Appalachians are turning out some good……….Uhhhh….nevermind.
I remember my package was on that train. That sucked.
See that’s what happens when you ship from Mexico…
Lol, failz.
lol this happened to me a few weeks ago
Well, this is a message I’ve never gotten up so far when checking UPS airway bills at work…..
Seems more like a “Railroad Maintenance Fail”, or maybe even a “Save Some Cash Buying Secondhand Boxcars Fail.”
BUAHAHAHAHAH TRAIN DERAILMENT THATS GREAT
I’ve gotten this on my shipping tracker, too! How often do they derail?!
ouch their goes ur package. xD
wow =] i live right by there…p.s. there is no train.
Sometimes a train derailment is just a train derailment. (or a cigar, I’m never quite sure)
