Bridges To Chaos

Do you remember the day that a bridge carrying railway fuel tank cars collapsed in downtown Calgary?  How could it happen?  The answer: That bridge was 107 years old and made of wood.  What if the Lac Megantic disaster had occurred in the middle of downtown Calgary?

A century old wooden railway bridge like that could be a hundred yards away from your back yard.  It should have been replaced seventy years ago and it was NOT designed for today’s massive explosive cargos.

I’m talking about widespread ongoing HOPELESS railway company incompetence defended by an army of highly paid heartless lawyers.  You can ignore this, but you cannot escape “the New Reality”.  Everyone pays the price for unfettered relentless GREED dressed up in fancy phraseology now described as “Risk Management”.
