I don't think she was necessarily saying that they were to blame for their own deaths, as they were not the people responsible for making sure the train arrived safely. I think that the people who were responsible had the same philosophy and attitude as those who died.

There, you have just read the whole book.
Rand was really pissed off at somebody.
Notice how shallow the characters are. Notice the fantastic coincidence that hundreds of people who all had the same shallow outlook on life were on the same train together with not one innocent soul. "There was not a man aboard who did not share one or more of their ideas"! Notice how Rand sentences them all to death for committing no crime other than believing in the wrong idea.
The book is stupid. And boring.

I find it odd that you picked this part of the book to gripe about. Vilifying Rand by saying she "sentenced" these "people" to death is pretty weird. It is just a book, they're not real. You can't really believe that she had a grudge against these people. How much of the book did you read. The last time I asked someone if they even read the book they didn't bother to respond back.
I'm not saying that haven't read it, it is just a little weird that you would have this much dislike/ anger over a fictional book.
