I thought that there were just some people from the town that were extras and it was filmed elsewhere in Ohio?
Oh wow. Well that probably means it happened before?
Lots of people saw this coming. This isn't a surprise, but it is horrifying. The safety concerns were a large part of the railroad workers union's complaints a few months ago, which was squashed by the US gov. All the corners have been cut to extract more value for shareholders, and there's nothing left to squeeze out.
Yea, oddly this has not yet bubbled to the surface of this story. Your government at work!
