And, now we keep seeing derailments. Rather strange the workers got less than the companies, and here we are.

More confirmation of what you were saying in that other thread. Also, I was going to reply to you there earlier and mention that, while it's not a train derailment, something that almost turned into a big story, happened right near us. We had to evacuate because a 40,000 gallon liquid natural gas container was on fire and the entire town had to be evacuated - they were pretty sure it was going to explode for the first half an hour until they got the temperature under control - the blow-off flame was shooting up like 80 feet. Sidenote: at first I thought it was a bit ridiculous that they would evacuate people over a mile away, until I looked up tank bleve videos, and ho-li-fuck, it's unreal how big they are. Anyway, the point being, these things are common enough that something like this almost happened on mile and a half from our house.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it may have been LP, not LNG; not that really changes much.
But yeah, I don't really understand what benefit the conspiracy would be for, either.
