Train Crash

What did anyone think of the train crash and explosion that happened yesterday in Iran?

The death toll is continuing to rise... :-(

It is still unclear what caused the heavily-laden freight train to derail.

Lemme guess: lack of safety precautions, maintenance and far too many people on the train.

In other words: greed, with many victims. :-x


No, that would be the British Rail system :-D

The Iranian crash was probably caused by an earth quake :-(
It'd be a very local earthquake.


On the news the other night, they said they thought it was an earthquake that caused this. People heard explosions 50 miles from the crash.

BTW, I like the colours in your avatar, Speelgoedmannetje.
