Terrible.

[IrishPennant]

Dude, where’s my train?

[Kansas58]

Is this Obama’s buddies train? BNSF?
Warren Buffet does not want any sinking pipelines!

[Rebelbase]

After viewing photos of the town center, I fear a good number of the missing 60 are incinerated.

[Marcella]

Oh, my, I had not heard that number missing. That is really bad/sad.

[freebilly]

But a pipeline would destroy the environment....

[FlingWingFlyer]

Holy carp! An “unmanned” train? Carrying oil?

[elpadre]

I hate myself for thinking his way, but a story like this and I find myself looking for Mid-Eastern names.

[Marcella]

I've been to Quebec City (Old Quebec) and it's like you just entered old time France (been there, too). The buildings are old and beautiful and it's built on a hill with some buildings up and some down, go down and up stairs or a gizmo that moves you from up to down. I have a plate from there on my wall of plates and a beautiful cup and saucer with Quebec facts on it, cup/saucer is cream and gold - beautiful pieces.

If this train had to do that, I'm glad it didn't happen to Quebec City. We traveled by train from Montreal to Quebec City. The train station is right in the middle of Quebec City. Perhaps a freight train doesn't take that route through Quebec City, or maybe it does - train track is train track.

Can they thank The Obammunist for this because he refuses to build the XL pipeline?

[babygene]

“Parts of the town were evacuated in the early hours as fireballs shot several-metres in the air”

Wow, isn’t that about six feet?

Fireball: A cloud of fire is blasted into the sky above Lac Megantic after a freight train exploded

Getting relatively little news here in the states.

[50sDad]

1) ROP.
2) A good example of WHY WE NEED TO BUILD THE XL PIPELINE!!!!!

[RobertClark]

This is terrible, indeed. Of course, there will be much disappointment in the liberal enviro-nut camps as a result of this. Afterall, we don’t need a pipeline when we’ve got uncle Warren’s super safe trains to transport oil.

Well folks, tell me, how many people died in the last pipeline rupture? Cickets....chirp.....chirp

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thank God they didn’t let them build a pipeline.

[no-to-illegals]

strange reports on this one. Engineer says he parked the train. Who set this train to rolling?

[Hoodat]

Shipping oil by train? They ought to build a pipeline instead.

Oh wait . . .

[lightman]

Locomotives do not uncouple by themselves.

Train cars do not start rolling on their own sans locomotive.

Disgruntled ex-employee or AQ?

[Lazamataz]

The name of the person killed in the blaze, caused by a runaway Montreal Maine & Atlantic train, has not yet been named.

I understand the tragedy, and prayers to all concerned...but can journalists PLEASE stop making such glaring errors in their copy?

[The Cajun]

Lots of things had to go wrong if this was an accident.

Probably pretty easy to perpetrate however with no one guarding the train.
