Dissaster hits our area.

keithdog · 01-06-12, 07:40 PM

This afternoon, three freight trains collided about 10 minutes from my home. One of the trains engines is reported to have went airborn about 100 feet into the tree tops.

I don't have the details about how this all happened. There was deisel fuel burning and there are ethinol tanker cars in the mess. Supposedly they are not full tanks however. I hope thats correct. About 150 homes have been evacuated. I am outside the danger zone thank goodness. My brother in law lives very near the area where this happened. The amazing news is there are no casualties. All train personal have been accounted for. Some were injured but not life threatening. THATS a miricle if ever there was one!

Nope. It's all farm land out there. Luckily there should be very minimal environmental damage.

I gotta say keith.. I thought this was another one of your prank posts.

But I'm glad you're out of danger, and no one was hurt. Hope everyone stays that way!
