Stihlman65 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Not sure if serious, but.... for example, in this case, the idiots(yet to be determined) left the train when they were in the process of changing the crew, and somehow it got away. It was either under power, or it took off down the track/slope because the brake wasn't engaged, or it let go for some reason....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stihlman65 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 New development in the cause of how the train may have run away.Supposably,the locomotive that caught fire was shut down therefor releasing the airbrakes.Who shutdown the locomotive is yet to be determined,but according to the president of the companie,it wasn't the conductor.

VancouverCanucksRock Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 I can't believe there was a damn fire on board. and the Fire Dept put it out, left the train with two crew members, and this crap happened not long after? WOW.....I can't imagine being in the vicinity that the victims/missing were in. FUHK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I guess this wasn't terror related. Thankfully there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolt Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Quite simply 100% responsible by MMA's CEO. On the record for cutting costs to compromise safety. Cutting crews, operating faulty equipment just the tip of the iceberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouet Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 No, it looks like the firefighters may have shut down the engine that was powering the brake system. Nothing malicious, but somebody trying to do the right thing, messing with equipment they weren't trained to mess with. http://www.cnn.com/2....html?hpt=hp_t2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
