Oil.

They don't think they'll find e missing people because they were probably vaporized.

I read that they told families they need to give DNA samples as it was the only way to identify a lot of the victims.

Yeah.

The YouTube of the fire is pretty crazy (I can't figure out how to link it for the ipad).

Is anybody following the OOT thread? Is there any credence to the sabotage speculation, or are we just looking at dumb people making stupid mistakes in the worst possible way?

Is there any evidence it was sabotage or are people just guessing? A quick google search doesnt throw anything up but the denials from the CEO who said it was gross negligence and human error.

I haven't followed the OOT thread but it sounded pretty straight forward to me. The train was parked for the night, with one locomotive still 'on' so that its brakes kept the train from rolling. There was a fire in the middle of the night (maybe that's the sabotage?) and either the fire department or the conductor turned off the locomotive disengaging the brakes.

At some point the train started rolling, and the town was ~10km away - and unfortunately it was downhill and there was a curve in the track in the town. So the cars gathered speed until they hit the corner and derailed.

You wouldn't admit evidence if it ****-slapped you in the face. It's doubtful you even recognize what constitutes evidence, as you don't seem to even understand the difference between circumstantial and direct.

"A quick google search" being about as far as you ever go before rationalizing to yourself "good enough for me."

In any event, no, this doesn't look like sabotage.

I think I just kinda assumed it was there, and maybe conflated this with the plane crash thread? idk, I mostly just skim your forum, recent underwear threads notwithstanding.

Hang out at the bar car and meet lonely, promiscuous train traveling women (then take them to aforementioned sleeper cabin.)
