So, to set this, I'll start with the beginning
On July 2013, there was a tragedy in a small town in Quebec called Lac-Mégantic
A train carrying oil wagon derailled in the middle of the town, and about 15 of those wagon took fire
Result : 47 death and 5 disapearance (the main theory of those disappearance is that the fire was so intense that even the bones burned)
3 employees of MMA (Montreal Maine and Atlantic railway, the company who operated the train) are accused of dangerous driving of a train.
They are charged because, apparently, Tom Harding, one of those employee, didnt put enouggh break on those wagon. So the train fell down a cliff, without any driver on board, and exploded in the middle of Lac-Mégantic.
But the truth is darker, Tom Harding has nothing to do with this tragedy actually. He did exactly what he was trained for. The real blame should go to MMA administrator, it's them who told Tom Harding that it wasnt necessary to put more break. So Tom Harding did as he was told by his boss.
I still don't understand why hes blamed for this, and the company arent charged of anything
what do you think?
