It's been a tragic weekend in parts of North America. In Lac-Megantic, Quebec at least 5 people are dead and 40 are missing after a train hauling crude oil derailed, exploded, and sent flames through the small community. A good part of the town was destroyed, including the library housing a lot of the archives. And officials caution the death toll could climb higher.
In San Francisco, an Asiana Air flight crashed while landing killing 2 and injuring lots of others. Witnesses say the plane may have been coming in too low and fast on final approach. Some are also saying the tail of the Boeing 777 may have been ripped off in the crash. Investigators in both tragedies have started their work.
Hopefully next time, I'll have a little more pleasant news to pass on your way. But for now:
'Nuff said.
Welcome! I hope you enjoy, and are maybe infuriated by, my somewhat irreverent take on world news and events, and the people who make and shape them. I hope we can share a laugh, and maybe provoke a thought, about what's happening "out there".
