IT IS WORLDS NEWS....ON THE BBC WORLD NEWS.
A BEAUTIFUL PART OF QUEBEC NEAR THE MAINE BORDER STATE OF THE USA.
I'VE BEEN TO THAT PART OF QUEBEC AND TRULY A LOVELY AREA OF THE WORLD, SLEEPY VILLAGES WITH WONDERFUL COUNTRY-SIDE SCENERY.
SO IN THIS LITTLE PICTURE PERFECT VILLAGE WE HAVE A SET OF TRAIN RIALS RUNNING RIGHT THROUGH THE DOWN-TOWN.
THE TRAIN WAS LEFT WITH NO SAFETY GUARDS; HAD COMPRESSED OIL LIQUID; SOMEHOW [THEY ARE NOT RULING OUT FOUL PLAY] THESE TRAIN TANKS WENT KABOOM....LIKE A BOMB. THE EXPLOSION OBLITERATED A GOOD CHUNK OF THE DOWN-TOWN BUILDINGS, INCLUDING A NIGHT-CLUB SPOT WITH 35 PEOPLE ENJOYING THE LATE EVENING, OUTSIDE ON THE PATIO. THEY ARE GONE....NO HOPE NOW THAT ANY SURVIVED.
WHAT A DISASTER FOR A LOVELY SMALL SLEEPY QUEBEC VILLAGE.
COULD NOW BE THE WORSE TRAIN DISASTER FOR NORTH AMERICA IN 25 YEARS.
IT IS HEART-BREAKING TO THINK OF THE SADNESS THAT THIS SMALL VILLAGE IS GOING THROUGH.
APPARENTLY THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN THE USE OF TRAINS TO TRANSPORT OIL IN THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS.
HOPEFULLY THIS TRAGEDY WILL HAVE SUCH TRAINS TRANSPORTING OIL NOT GOING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF SMALL TOWNS ANY MORE.
TIME TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES AND PUT AN END TO SUCH TRAINS GOING THROUGH SUCH VILLAGES.
