<p>[quote user="tree68"]I don't think so. I thing most everyone here agrees that the railroad was keeping an eye on things and determined that normal operation was appropriate. [/quote]</p> <p>In your response to my post you said BNSF was perhaps surprised? How can it be both at the same time.</p> <p>[quote user="tree68"]The water in the fields may have been there for several days without causing undue alarm. There was ongoing high water in the area.[/quote]</p> <p>We learned in Germany that not the water height destroys a river levee (as long as it is below the rim) but the exposure duration.</p> <p>I'm not in possession of the information to challenge the railroads judgement but I have doubts.</p> <p>I hope that public interest is large enough (oil spill, drinking water) that BNSF is forced to publish their investigation results.<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p>Edit: Interesting to see that the software blocks a technical term because it has colloquially an additional meaning. Are users deemed too dumb here to understand the meaning from the context?</p>
