Wow! I guess we will hear it's not terrorists. I wonder how many were working there tonight?
I work very closely with a lot of industries. Rail, chemical, refining, manufacturing, transportation, etc. At this point, it would take three independent videos and two personally known eye witnesses for me to believe any catastrophic event would be anything other than incompetence. A close runner up would be mental illness.

The people who have entered the workforce over the past 5 or so years would be labeled as “retarded” twenty years ago. Much of the veteran workforce in place right now is completely apathetic. And a good chuck of those who are seemingly keeping the wheels on the rails, or otherwise running everything in the background of society are actually hanging on by a thread before the last screw keeping themselves together finally lets loose-

OMG this!

I was FIRED, applying for SSDI…and still, 6 months later I had three different companies, all major players, one HVAC, one defense aerospace, one heavy freight, trying to get me in their plants for repairs, cause my replacements were stupid, even knowing I was fired while fighting cancer (cancer lost that battle Woo!)

It’s worse now for sure.

Plates shifting, according to a friend. Something about a shift causing a reaction in the eastern part of Canada above the Seaway, which then is shifting west and downward, putting Michigan into a torque. Something like that.....

That is very scary. It really is like the book Atlas Shrugged.
