Just a month after that container of whiskey fell off a derailed flatcar and crushed a van near Toronto, another tragic freak rail accident has occured. <br /> <br />Last weekend a mini-railcart used for unloading steel beams from freight cars slipped away from a freight train near Kendal, England, in the northwestern part of the country. It then slid away and struck five trackworkers a couple miles away, killing them. Apparently it was nighttime, they were working in floodlights, and they were also wearing helmets which one of the workers had apparently said obstructed his hearing, so they didn't even notice it coming. The British media are, of course, talking about the incident as indicative of Britain's current "rail crisis". I forget the exact link, but you can find it on the "top British news stories" on the BBC's website: http://www.bbc.co.uk. <br /> <br />It really is creepy how death can just sneak up on you like that. Of course, I don't think that happened for no reason at all. Someone has blood on their hands (accidentally, of course, but it's still there).
