If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

But did she have more fun? Now that is the question.

Hm. All charges against her has been dropped now, and the company that runs the trains, and the company that owns the tracks (I think...) has said they're deeply sorry and that they'll do everything they can to restore her "honor and credibility". Curious...

Nothing is known yet, but there is some speculation as to how, in which she had something to do with it, although only by accident, made possible by some spectacularly bad decisions made by others...
1: the guy who is responsible for bringing the train to and from maintenance (or something, I'm not entirely sure about job responsibilites in rail yards) left the keys in, engine running, and emergency brakes disconnected/non-functioning.
2: Dead man's grip disconnected for some reason (confirmed by investigators)
3: cleaner accidentally hits switch/button/lever that starts the train, does not realize this until too late. Maybe she thought the guy mentioned in (1) had started the train.

I got to ad that I feel incredibly sorry for her. Just two months in on a badly paid job, and she get seriously injured because of laziness/complacency/comfort. =|

It's not uncommon on a new job for things to not go well at first.

Thought I should update this thread: the young lady who was initially suspected of having stolen the train and who got injured in the crash is now considering changing her career...she wants to be a - drumroll - train driver :laugh:. The company operating that line offered her a job doing that if she gets through school for it, so good for her =).

#2 is enough to throw the company under the er, train. Dead man's grip being disconnected should not happen outside of the maintenance area. IF it is broken, it needs to be going directly to nearest maintenance area under direct supervision of qualified personnel at all times.

I'm not sure why it was disconnected, but I guess the investigation will reveal this at some point. I hope she got a bit of money for her suffering and injuries and also the slander...
