Meh. Shovel it up and ship it to some factory that makes Twinkies or something.

When is a door not a door? When it's a jar. (first thing I thought of actually)

Leave it to the Canadians to build a bridge over a plain.

Why do the sites that report on something as cool as this neglect to provide even one high-resolution photo of the carnage? I mean trains are effin' cool, and train wrecks are even cooler. A train falling off a bridge... come on, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

This is a Chinese high-speed passenger-train wreck in 2011. The wreck was due to faulty control system implementations (specifically signalling systems) by a Chinese company called Hollysys Automation Technologies.

This company is also the only company approved to implement control systems in China's nuclear reactors.

/the more you know.

Exactly. Especially since the parent company of Twinkies is in bankruptcy. Cheap raw material could be a real boon.

While images of trains falling car-after-car from blown-up bridges are common in old movies, Senecal explained that the weight of the cars usually snaps the couplers and keeps that from happening.
"You have one car that falls, and very soon you have another, but pretty soon the coupler is going to break," she said.

That is significantly less cool than I was thinking.

The zoom on that photo was spectacularly helpful in seeing the extent of the carnage.

I'm disapoint that I didn't submit this. My Grandfather used to take us to see trains cross that trestle when we were little and Grandma still lives in Wainwright.

To top that, the made lakes out of hay.

Can't believe it took this long to say, "All aboard the fail road."
