Failure in China. I’m shocked. Next thing we will hear is that their new aircraft carrier was sunk by dolphins.

Maybe I am an evil person, but I just wish Thomas Friedman could have been in one of those two cars.

Promoting publicly funded high speed submarine transportation for the masses no doubt.

Two coaches of a bullet train fell off a bridge after derailing in east China’s Zhejiang Province late Saturday, local fire fighting sources said.

The details of casualties are unknown at the moment.

The train numbered D3115 from the provincial capital Hangzhou to the city of Wenzhou derailed at the section of Shuangyu Town in Wenzhou at 8:34 p.m., said fire fighters from Wenzhou.

Rescue personnel were rushing to the scene.

Maybe something got lost in the dialect translation. Oh, said the Captain, you’re supposed to steer AWAY from the lighthouse?

Every time I read one of these stories I think about the fact that the new San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge was built in China....

http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=resources/traffic&id=8245105

A quarter million San Franciscans and Oaklanders every day. I honestly don’t know whether I should laugh or cry....

There’s a reason it was excerpted down to 1 sentence

“Next thing we will hear is that their new aircraft carrier was sunk by dolphins.”

Navy porpoise attack story. I know a guy who claims he was with a Navy unit that trained porpoises to kill human swimmers and divers. They were used in Gulf War 1. The porpoises were all male and wore a harness and carried a bang stick. They’d ram the swimmer with the bang stick. Every time the Navy used them, the porpoise found and eliminated the target. Then, he’d jet off to find a pod of female porpoises and have sex. There was no getting the porpoises back until they were darned good and satisfied. (It’s probably the uniform harness. No species can resist a Navy guy in uniform.)

This calls for another round of executions! Go China! :’) Thanks nuconvert.

Willie Green must be beside himself. Unless he was on this train at the time.
