A pipeline might have prevented it.
"All but one of the train's 73 tanker cars were carrying oil when they came loose early Saturday, sped downhill nearly seven miles into the town of Lac-Megantic, near the main border, and derailed."
Thanks President SCOAMF.
Prayers for the 63 dead and missing.

But but but a pipeline is evil. Gore and the NRDF told me so. You, you can't oppose them! Your just racist!
NDRC, dang it. You evil haters - who should all be SHOT including your ENTIRE families - get me sooo upset and discombobulated...
Yes,and yes, but no. To be strictly accurate, the XL and other proposals such as shipping through Prince Rupert B.C. etc., are directed at North to South shipments from Alberta and B.C to the Gulf Coast. This disaster occurred on a North bound shipment on the other side of the continent, in Quebec.
But the principle is the same. I haven't been following the Bakken oil delivery situation; is there a problem with putting a pipeline in the East?

Yes, I know the location for XL is entirely different. But the point is the a mpipeline abrogated the need for tanker trains going through your town.
BTW, one of Obamafuhrer's biggest bribing contributors is Warren Buffet who owns...? That's right--Burlington Northern.

Sure Buffet benefits now, but what was it Lenin said about the last capitalist? Something to do with selling rope, right?
SG; I think my point was whether or not there's an EASTERN North-South pipeline proposal that's being held up by the US Gov't(?).
There's certainly a brewing controversy here (Canada) over an East-West pipeline from Alberta to Eastern Canada.
But as I said, it's all BS as this latest disaster has proven!
The Green Luddites are now on the hotseat; no pun intended.

I read in the Fargo, North Dakota newspaper yesterday that some of their "crude" was on that train. So, the ND crude went north into Canada, across Canada to go south into the States and it's destination.
I say the pipeline is very relevant in this accident.
