    Oh cool, good to know we were told we were safe in Columbus. I’ll look forward to my $3 check when I get cancer 10 years from now. Fuck these corporations.

    We need to stop calling this an accident. That implies no one is at fault and that it could not have been prevented. They knew the rails were bad and that they needed replaced and they fucking did nothing at all.

    Just moved to Pittsburgh. We were trying to stay away from housing in that area. Big sad.

    16 states affected, yet no Canadian provinces, apparently. Good thing smoke can’t cross 5000 miles of open border…
