Ok, so I gotta know... are train derailments happening more often recently, or are they simply a hot topic in the media?

[GRRRRR]

I can't spell for krapola...stupid fingers...

I wouldn't say they are any more or less than 'usual'...however, a train derails on a bridge somewhere, carrying certain things...it's gonna be a mess.

Mmmm im in Southeast Nebraska, almost on the Kansas border, I wonder where this is?

[RetroSexual]

I'm interested in the three UFOs in the picture. Why would they derail one of our trains?

[thoughtomator]

I-35 is a good 50 miles from Nebraska according to this map
