Eric Wrigglesworth must look at this following article and just shake his head.
The truck driver under arrest and the train drivers being investigated for speeding and whether they blew their horn early enough. What about the government official responsible for rail and the designers of the track for not making all crossings by tunnel or bridge so this can't happen, shouldn't they be the first to be arrested and investigated for not removing risks as far as possible?
What would the cost of the crash the injuries the loss of production for the truck and train, the rescue, the transportation of passengers, the recovery of the train and the repair of tracks and train and what is the cost of a tunnel or bridge compared to people's lives, they are just blessed there weren't any deaths.
