Re: Train Accident in Blue Mountains

[Michael <mk@netstra.com.au>]

Hi,

The ABC is run by the government (as much as they hate that fact. All other 
commercial stations in Australia are run by capitalist corporations, and 
blow things out of proportion, bringing out lies, and general stupidity to 
make them number 1 (channel 9 even claim it "Still Number One").

But once again, as I said elsewhere before, my sympathy goes out to all 
those involved in the accident this morning. The passengers, the families 
of those deceased or severely injured, the train crews, and those left to 
clean the whole mess up. 

I only hope that our government finally get down of their a***s and DO 
something to improve rail safety. But of course this will not happen. Maybe 
they need one of their own to die in such tragic circumstances before they 
learn. 

Regards
Michael.
