[Ratatapa]

it IS a ratapata thread.

What the fuck does that have to do


How about you let you useless argument for another thread this is not the place for it

[Ratatapa]

yeah, see, that's a radical departure from common fucking sense.

I'm just reporting what media and who they interviews said
Like I said I know shit about trains so I'm not here to say whose right or wrong

lol

[Ratatapa]

lol

Dude just shut up I lost close friends in that explosion so I don't want to laugh about it

[Ksandra]

Be nice and knock it off, guys.


I can't actually wrap my head around a train causing that much damage. Sorry for your lose, Rata.

funny that you don't mention any lost friends until i start laughing at your continued failure at the english language. If you did indeed lose someone, i'm sorry for your loss. If you didn't and you're trying to guilt trip me out of the thread, 1) lol, good luck with that, and 2) s'il vous plaît aller manger de la merde

Because I learned that they were there today, they went on vacation in Quebec and they decided to stop there Friday night to sleep.


I had no idea till this morning when I saw their name on the Facebook page and then call their families which conform me this afternoon that they were there


I don't care if you stay here I just want you to respect the thread. Bitch me in other threads I don't care just not here

nah im not saying you're wrong, im just saying if thats actually how the brakes work i'd be really, really interested in hearing the logic behind that decision. because they reverted from a basic design invented over 100 years ago to one that was even older... and oh yeah completely ineffectual and known for causing... you guessed it... derails.

[Qalbert]

yeah, that place seems full of retards

[Churchill]

why is someone you know dying in x event cause for the thread/posters to be treated differently? I am quite positive I can find evidence of hypocritical behavior in this regard throughout one of the many 'murica themed slayings.

if we want to know more information about something we do have the internet here, canadian news doesn't need you to be its tom brokaw.

Looks like the Unstoppable movie's alternate ending, only in Canada.

Apparently there's still 40people missing? That sucks. Isn't this the same tarsands bullshit that would be running in Keystone XL pipeline? Sure looks safe to me!

Pretty much any train/pipeline/even a tanker truck carrying a large amount of petroleum products could have blown up like this, given the right (that is, very wrong) conditions. Doesn't matter what's transporting it or even if it's being moved at the time, just fire + oil = fucking kaboom,the more fuel the bigger the bang. Doesn't matter what said oil is being sourced from, Coren.

I still don't think they have the brake situation right. Air brake systems are designed with fail-safe features in that the operating condition is normally open. If/when the brake system loses pressure and it drops below a certain threshold the brakes are closed and the vehicle stops. This type of brake system is used for many things including industrial electric/pneumatic motors, commercial ship engines, commercial truck/trailers, wind turbines, trains and probably many other applications. If there was a problem with the air system that allowed the train to operate on it's own, I really don't think it was the brake system. I just can't see any manufacturer building a brake system for a train that is not inherently fail-safe in it's design. Especially not when that very design has been the industry standard for over 100 years.

Mma boss came today and suspended his train conductor.


He also said that his conductor said that he put all the requirement brakes but the boss doesn't seem to believe him.

Problem is that mma version changed for the 4th time

I keep reading mma and thinking dana white is coming in and busting fools.
