For real finger pointing, look at the comments following the news coverage on this crash.  There is an ocean of bitter and shrill condemnation of the parade planners.  Nobody seems to be blaming the U.P.  And they don’t seem to be blaming the truck driver either.  Interestingly, some of the national news coverage, however, has a distinct tone of blaming the train. Even the news stream on this story is citing Facebook comments blaming the parade planners; for example:   “A Facebook page for Show of Support, which organized the "Hunt for Heroes" event, was filled with condolences on Friday morning. "My thoughts & prayers go out to my fellow Veterans & their families & the whole community in Midland. This is such a tragic accident. So sad," said one message, posted by Jeff A. Bingham. Others raised questions about the dangers posed by the parade route. "Taking them across those tracks in that manner and by NOT ENSURING their safety by ensuring traffic would NOT STOP was unnecessarily placing them in harm's way," posted Mitchell R. Mace.”
