Day 36: July 23, 2013

Today I spent most of the day reading news articles from different sources about the Lac-Mégantic accident. I found that a good source of information is wikipedia. It is hard to find detailed information because most of the search results are always articles with repeated, old or inaccurate information. I found a good source of pictures hereFIG14 shows an aerial view of Lac-Mégantic's downtown area after the derailment. 

I think that it is essential to learn from this event as much as possible to guarantee that such accidents don´t happen again. I plan on finishing this module tomorrow.

FIG14: Aerial view of Lac-Mégantic's downtown are after the accident.

-Attend the RailTEC weekly lunch meeting (Brent Williams' presentation)     (done)

Next day:
