    Oh cool, good to know we were told we were safe in Columbus. I’ll look forward to my $3 check when I get cancer 10 years from now. Fuck these corporations.

    It’s a GOOD THING those people are going to be electing MORE REPUBLICANS into office so we can ensure this happens AGAIN and AGAIN!

    We need to stop calling this an accident. That implies no one is at fault and that it could not have been prevented. They knew the rails were bad and that they needed replaced and they fucking did nothing at all.

    16 states affected, yet no Canadian provinces, apparently. Good thing smoke can’t cross 5000 miles of open border…

      It’s a study by a US organization. Why would it have access to information about Canadian territory? Also…what does an open border have to do with anything? Do you expect either country to be able to block those sorts of things?
