Snuck that birthday through didn’t you? A happy belated one to you.

Like the cake. Did it taste as good as it looked?

Indeed a horrific incident but due to the safety technology of today the number of fatalities and serious injury are low.

Rail crashes like this are a rare thing compared to other forms of transport.

From the eyewitness statements I got the impression that the train was derailed prior to stiking that point that is now under one of those little tent things. If this is the case then it would appear that this point was the final element to the sequence. Pure speculation on my half I admit. I’m no rail expert.

Regardless of my thoughts and opinions, my prayers are with the family of the woman who lost her life and those who have friends and family in hospital.

Not the Abingdon Review is it?
Only a guess as the various types in the background.

The man of the house
Comedy: Tommy Lee Jones is a Texas Ranger who is assigned to look after 5 cheerleaders who are witnesses to a murder related to an on going court case.
I enjoyed this film and found the intereaction of the old set in his ways TLJ against the youth of the cheerleaders well written and it certainly had its moments. Good no trouble fun.

…Found it on IMDB – though the aircraft is cited as a ‘Brookland Aerospace Optica OA-7’…. ?…

Same thing different owner of the design….
A bit like the Trago Mills SAH-1 that is now marketed under a different name.

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory
The newer version was actually quite enjoyable. It sticks quite well to the story apart from the end. The whole presentation and feel was good and JD’s portrayal of WW in that slightly camp way was refreshingly different.
