I haven't been following the French media on this, so I really can't comment there. But as for 'the american english speaking capitalist corporation is guilty' -- while I have little doubt they probably are, in some sense, due to cost-cutting measures common to all railways -- the proximate cause of this accident is probably going to turn out to some Quebecker ... either one of their employees, or someone from the Nantes fire department. Whoever it is, I feel sorry for the poor bastard ... I can't imagine how you could live with yourself after something like this. (If it turns out to be sabotage, that's a different matter of course).

If this is true, the engineer is actually a bit of a hero ... >>At the L’Eau Berge hotel: The blast wakes up Mr. Harding. He gets dressed, goes to the accident scene and borrows a railcar mover parked at an industrial rail spur nearby, Mr. Bourdon said. With the blessing of the firefighters, Mr. Harding approaches nine cars at the tail end of the train that have not derailed. He unhooks them and pulls them away.<< theglobeandmail.com
