As many of you may know, a catastrophic explosion occurred when train rail tankers carrying oil collided/derailed in Lac-Megantic, a picturesque seaside town of 6,000 people in the province of Quebec.
The explosion was so profound that it decimated many buildings and homes, practically "incinerating" the town.
There were quite a few deaths as well as injuries, the shock, loss and sorrow that the town's residents have had to endure.
This reminds me of the propane gas explosion in Toronto a few years ago, when poor safety and a lack of responsible standards were held against Sunrise, the company in charge of these stationary gas tanks.
Anyone remember? My family and I, we live quite a distance from where the explosion took place that night, but, we saw a huge bright ball of flame and our home 'shook'. That was scary enough.
imagine the terror at Lac-Megantic. Tragic that it even happened in the first place. Safety issues have come into focus here.
