Pellerin was among several people who testified to the committee in support of a $40 million appropriation that would be used to prepare fire departments nationwide for oil fires like Lac-Megantic.

I’m probably more bothered by the fact that the company wanted to save the cost of about $80,000 by not having a second engineer to operate the train in the event that one was left unable to operate competently because of exhaustion.

Billions of dollars in damage done, over 40 lives extinguished, and no way to collect recompense it because the private company was allowed to go bankrupt.
