SABOTAGE SUSPECTED IN CANADIA OIL TRANSPORT TRAIN DERAILMENT THAT DECIMATED TOWN

 



As numerous investigators sift through the horrible wreckage of the Canadian Railroad disaster, evidence is surfacing that could point to sabotage as the cause of the disaster.

The train, previously though to have disengaged the brakes by accident, and become a runaway, crashed with full force on the small Canadian town killing dozens and destroying everything in a searing fireball. 

New evidence, however, increasingly points to foul play or tampering.  At best, negligence could be involved, in the sense that the person responsible for securing the train, did not engage the brake properly. 

The investigation, furthermore, is considered criminal at this point, until enough clues are collected that could dispel it.  More than 60 officers are intent at collecting evidence at this time. 

There is also suspicion that the operator of the train did not properly follow safety procedures.  The train was especially vulnerable to rolling, due to the incredible weight of the its 72 car length and the material it was transporting.  

More than 2000 people were forced to evacuate at the center of the incident.  The fire furthermore, was not containable, burning bright hot until all the oil combusted entirely.  The town is without power, and people are not allowed to drink the water, until a proper assessment of the contamination level is made. 

The Train company has already expressed its belief that the air brakes failed on their own, and that the weight of the train did the rest.  

But a train of that kind is supposed to be secured by a number of hand brakes, which act as a backup for the train in the case of failure of the main air brake system.
