[edit] NTSB / RAR

Has anyone actually read the National Transportation Safety Board Railroad Accident Report NTSB/RAR-04/01 PB2004-916301 Notation 7461A? I just have and it's actually facinating reading, if you can get past the finger-pointing at everyone (but the federal government for failure to provide oversight). The real question - why is it not listed as a reference, and then used as one? It really added some background information on the train wreck, and although I personally missed the gas cloud (I was luckily on vacation with my family), I was able to see the after effects personally and how it affected the whole area. My personal experiences coupled with the media coverage (slim though it was), adding this report on to all that, really gave me a total picture of what happened. - NDCompuGeek 07:49, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
