I was just idly speculating I might start taking the train to work again soon. Man, like a shark attack the week before a beach trip. -- nm - landbeck May 28, 11:58 9
- Devil's advocate: Do you feel this way whenever there is news of a pile-up on the highway? -- nm - ty97 May 28, 12:02 4
  - Nah, I'm a stats, guy, so I'm like, "The last accident was 12 years ago! So I'm good for at least the next decade!" -- nm - landbeck May 28, 12:05 3
    - exactly. you drive past an accident on the road and you can be pretty confident your probability of being in another accident just dropped to zero -- nm - charlie May 28, 12:07 2
      - until the guy in front of you who is rubbernecking suddenly stomps on the brakes -- nm - zork May 28, 12:15
      - It's why always take the time to get a good luck at the accident. -- nm - landbeck May 28, 12:11
- you hop the freight trains like a hobo? -- nm - charlie May 28, 11:59 3
  - Heh, MARC line goes through the train yard this explosion is in (and the Howard Street tunnel, too). -- nm - landbeck May 28, 12:00 2
    - ah yes. many a hot summer day spent on a stopped MARC train waiting for the tracks ahead to clear -- nm - charlie May 28, 12:01 1
      - Actually, I take it back, this was on the CSX line, which is parallel to the MARC line until about a mile West of the accident site. Yay! -- nm - landbeck May 28, 12:04
