[PRCo] Re: Truck Derail in EUROPE -- ZOUNDS~!~!~!~! Doesn't happen there~!~!~!~!

[Jim Holland]

This Intrigues Me  --  WHY  pull trucks between facilities?     Can't 
say it dassn't happen here but I haven't heard of it.
.
Another obvious question  --  if speed is the culprit, why didn't all 
the trucks derail, like the vehicle pulling the truck?       Trucks, 
while definitely heavy relative to our strength, are built to have a car 
body weight pressing down on them.     Thus, under these conditions, it 
can be said that the truck is  Light  and thus more prone to 
derailment.     Give us the psychics, fizzles  --  You Know Boris  --  
the science behind all this~!~!~!~!
