      which was against current regulations, was it not?
      Trains this size used to require four operators, reduced to two by "efficiency enhancing" decrees.

      The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic railway was operating on only one - special permission from the Minister himself.

          True, France's crash was caused by faulty track. Also, France's accident happened during daytime while Canada's happened at night. All very good reasons why France's accident doesn't count.

              Huh?

              1) Technical defect.

              Like virtually every pipeline spill ever. So this is a criteria for not caring?

                So today the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway laid off 79 Maine employees and 19 in Quebec. These people have the worst PR folks on earth. Nationalize them, or bankrupt them.

                          It's an honest question. What exactly is your point that it was a "technical defect"?

                            In related news, Deepwater Horizon is still leaking



                            This one too:

                            Hurricane Ivan swept away an oil production platform in the Gulf of Mexico in 2004. Nine years later, it's still leaking oil, although the company behind the project says it has reduced the leak to a trickle.
