Good Heavens Man!!

Are you suggesting that Glenbrook may not have happened had either
train been wearing a safety vest? This is an idea that has never
entered my mind. Mind you, it would be extremely lonely if it did.

I am now thinking (crunch, grind, screeeech) that may be airbags
should be fitted to the front and rear of every train. This has
possiblities!!!! You sore it here first folks!!!!
