<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Ed Burkhadt often resorts to sarcasm as a defense when he responds to criticism over the crash. When discussing his company’s culpability in the cause of the crash, he said this:</span></p> <p><span style="color:#3366ff;font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:medium;">“And of course our one-person crews will be blamed, as will track conditions, neither of which had any relationship to what occurred. I guess our track is good for 63 mph, because that is how fast the train was travelling at the bottom of the hill.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">So if anybody doubts that Mr Burkhardt’s track is good enough, he has got a fatal runaway train to prove his track can take the speed. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">And then he wonders why the people of Lac-Megantic throw rocks at him. </span></p>
