5 years ago, fatality at Lac-Megantic... Everyone in Quebec remember

So yea, tonight, at 1h14, it's been 5 years that the tragedy of Lac-Mégantic happened
For those who never heard of it, let me explain

During the night, a train without driver derailed in the middle of the town
That train was carrying 72 tank full of oil and many of them exploded
Casualties : 52 deaths

Medias says 47 deaths, but that's because 5 of those people's remain were never found
The main theory is that the fire was so intense, it burned their whole body, even their bones

People of Lac-Megantic want another railroad going outside of the city, but provincial and federal government declined
As of right now, no one was found guilty of that tragedy
There was 3 employees who were accused, but not found guilty
And honestly, I think it's better that way

Those employees did what they were trained for
The real guilty is the CEO of MMA (MMA being the train company involved), but...
He will probably never be accused...

A TRAIN with 72 tanks of oil without a driver...
mmm, smells conspiracy for me.
 
@leon315 actually, the driver left the train without enough brakes
He did what he was trained for, but it wasn't enough
the train ended falling a slope and increased its speed
Ended up in the middle of the city of Lac-Mégantic
 
let the past in the past, i know they died, i know it's sad, but it's past, don't bring such things to your life anymore k?
