Go to link. Kent firefighters say it is serious. But I can’t think of a fire in a major transportation route that isn’t, honestly.

This has happened before. I think it was about 5 years ago. The Chunnel was closed for a while to repair the damage. I believe a vehicle in an auto-train caught fire.

“Chunnel” is a nickname for it.

Let’s hope the final result is NO injuries, no fatalities.

The media hype is beyond the pale.

—hopefully better handled than the one in BART (San Francisco) nearly thirty years ago where a loaded train (of passengers) was sent into the fire area—while nothing happened, that had the potential of being one of the more serious train disasters ever-—
