  • On 18 December 2017, an Amtrak train on its way from Seattle to Portland derailed and crashed in DuPont, Washington, killing three people and leaving scores of others injured. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the train was traveling nearly 80 miles per hour in a 30-mile-per-hour zone at the time of the accident. Shortly after the tragedy, various disreputable web sites published articles under headlines such as BREAKING: FBI Identifies Muslim Terrorist Who Derailed Amtrak Train and Derailed Amtrak Train Was No Accident After All, Muslim Man Arrested, holding that the crash was deliberately caused by a 'Muslim terrorist' who sabotaged the tracks to cause a derailment (supposedly employing a method common to urban legendry): All of these reports were false and were spread by a known fake news network that includes sites such as nofakenews.online and reaganwasright.com, which carry identical disclaimers identifying their content as fiction: The former site illustrated their story with a completely unrelated photograph of Shaker Aamer, a Saudi citizen who was freed in 2015 after spending 13 years in detention at Guantánamo Bay prison in Cuba.
