  8. @forpeterssake Up here in Canada we had a ~70 car train of oil unpark itself, roll downhill and eradicate an entire town, #LacMegantic QUE. Following that there were sweeping government regulatory changes (there was negligence found it wasn't enough for indictments).

    If there aren't sweeping regulatory changes and criminal prosecutions from this - what appears to be way more grosser negligence - down there, I would be extremely very pissed off.
