Re: XPT derailment north of Albury

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

Absolutely tragic consequences of this collision notwithstanding, eHands up
all of those here (age 20+) who have NEVER done anything excessively foolish,
that but for some good luck (or through absence of bad luck), may have
resulted in tragic consequences (albeit not on this scale).

I can make no such claim and I can only be thankful that I was never the
stupid (testosterone inflamed) bastard that cost so many people their lives
and so many others a peaceful existence.

PS, The "red light" camera suggestion is on the money for crossings where the
absence of sense reigns.  Me thinks Scully (and the media) requires bombarding
on this one.
