Attention Canadians, Quebec is on fire.

Anyone want to translate the video description?

Something about a train?/images/flash_video_placeholder.png

A train exploded in downtown Lake Megantic. At 1H20 in the morning. And something about the train couldn't brake so shit piled up. "A horrible scene."

 

[mowglii]

ahhh not french canada!

 

[LoathesRaisins]

I guess it kind of looks like an oil train. Only thing you can do is just wait for it run out of fuel.

[LoathesRaisins]

Jesus Christ that is crazy. Hope everyone is ok.

holy. fuck.

 

[LoathesRaisins]

Did you take that? If so, hell of a picture.

 

[Sophistication.]

God, thats ironic

 

[1337]

[Wood_Wizard]

looks like its strait out off a movie. I just hope every one is ok. Canada has had some bad luck this summer, first the floods over here in Alberta, and now this, strait fucked up.

 

[liftedresearcher]

damn scary to think that just one train could cause so much destruction. thoughts are with the families of the dead and missing.

 

[whoa-dere]

oh damn

 

[Auzy]

Despite it being a terrible accident that's a pretty stellar shot

 

[lorida]

What a tragic accident, the train "ran away" during a crew change. Yes, somehow a train carrying hundreds of thousands of liters of petrol just slipped away. It may have been parked overnight while the operators slept, I'm not clear on that. Regardless, a major fuck up.

RIP to the deceased, and vibes to those searching for loved ones.

Quebec's been turned upside down and shaken vigorously lately.

 

[JAHBRADOR]

It looks like the fucking rapture! Jeeezz.

 

[whoa-dere]

HELL of a picture lol

If you die in Canada do you die in real life?

This morning some people filmed a train that was parked a few miles from the city , without a driver, with the engine running, carrying fuel , and the doors unlocked....How great is that.

Sorry for the french

Government regulation is never the answer.

 

[Dingo69]

Wow

 

[will_powder]

I wonder how this will affect the Northern Gateway talks....

As much as I don't like the riskiness of tankers in tight coastlines, and the small risks of pipeline leaks, I don't think shipping oil directly through towns is the right answer either...regardless of how long we've been doing it for.

 

[GSPhotography]

They probably wont find them. Looking at how the buildings are rite now. Down to the metal beams.

 

[LoathesRaisins]

Maybe this was a possible terrorist attack.

 

[FUUUCK]

lol who would want to harm the french?
