March 27, 2007: Propane train derails

I always like images where, when I see them, I don't exactly know what they are until I read the headline or caption. That's what happened here - unless you look at a lot of derailments from above, you won't immediately realize that this is a train, carrying liquid propane, that derailed near Oneida, NY, causing a big explosion. Then when you read the caption, you look back at the image and say, wow. |
Why do fuels fall in love?

It's awfully convenient for the cleanup crews that there was a road right there that stopped at the derailment point. Hmmm.

i see a black jesus with his crown of thorns.

I don't know when this picture was taken, but according to this article, after the initial explosion of a couple cars during impact, all the remaining propane was burned off in a controlled burn done by firefighters. So I'm not sure if this picture is before or after the controlled burn.

At least it was on land or we would have a mess in our hands.

CNN: Authorities are said to be on the lookout for the elusive international propane thief Wo Chin Li allegedly seen blanketing the tracks with Chuck-E-Cheese tokens shortly before the derailment ocurred.

True, luckily ocean trains aren't apt to derail. |
