Yes. Radicalization requires capitalizing on such events and the left is too disorganized to do so. Okay, a train fucks everything up. Now what? Who's explaining it and pointing fingers? The general public is only presented with two narratives:
[The other side, R or D], is really responsible for failing to run safe trains.
The government set fire to them and made the problem from bad to disastrous.
Know what's missing? Anything about capital and how we organize against it. Fuck, I've barely seen anyone draw a line from The Dems busting the unions and breaking their strikes and the consequences of giving capital interests so much power that they skimp on safety.
We need to do the hard work of building longer-term projects and political education programs (and not the strident infighty kind certain western leftists are addicted to).
