train derailment
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 19, 2004 9:43 PM
today on the news i saw a derailed intermodal train in the middle of town. it was on top of a bridge crossing the street and then it derailed. the cars stayed on top of the bridge (thank god) and nobody was hurt.[:D]
my opinion is that the secret army of terrorist wanted to make cars fly everywhere and fall onto innocent people on the main street in wichita [:0] because there are buildings, restaurants , a train museum and lots of other thinks that were vulnerable. ill try getting pictures tomorrow
