Your point is perfectly made. However, the professionally anti-everything crowd doesn’t want to remember anything beyond two weeks. That horrendous oil-train disaster happened long, long ago in their minds.
Also, I sure wish I had YOUR pictures when I posted mine.
I really fear we will see a replay of those terrible films once again.
Always check Free Republic. We are better than “just the internet...”

Cheers!
“rail” is a good FR keyword to find stuff like this...
