Could it simply have broken down?

Air brakes failing open, hand brakes failing, AND uncoupling? That seems unlikely to me.

It wouldn't shock me to find out that it's a disgruntled conductor/engineer wasted off that an american company is running single man crews up here.

Local Fire Chief Denis Lauzon said firefighters in a nearby community were called to a locomotive blaze on the same train a few hours before the derailment. Lauzon said he could not provide additional details about that fire since it was in another jurisdiction. Joe McGonigle, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic’s vice-president of marketing, confirmed the fire department showed up after the first engineer tied up and went to a local hotel. Someone later reported a fire.

“We know that one of our employees from our engineering department showed up at the same time to assist the fire department. Exactly what they did is being investigated so the engineer wasn’t the last man to touch that train, we know that, but we’re not sure what happened,” McGonigle said.

Or someone thought that uncoupling an engine fire from the cars was a good idea and the handbrakes weren't enough to keep it immobile on a grade?

It could be as simple as, the guy that uncoupled the cars from the unit closed the angle-cock on the cars instead of the one on the unit. Easy mistake to make in the middle of the night, and if there were no handbrakes/insufficient handbrakes, it would do it.

To anyone getting their boxers in a bunch over this, I say: buy the games with the male protagonists. There are at least four of them. They are attractive, virile boy characters with a lot going for them. Show us you mean business by buying those titles. Lawrence Croft is still an icon: that bulging crotch and tight ass, the washboard abs - what more could you want to identify with? He’s everything you aspire to. And those of you who complain we didn’t put any clothes on him - he became an icon because of that lack of clothes! And Lawrence Croft has trousers now, think about that. Women’s interest in a sexy, provocative young male is what gave Lawrence Croft his iconic status. Stop asking for special treatment by the games industry, we are making the best games in whatever way we see fit.

The proper way to do it, is either not leave a tip or tip at a much reduced rate.

This is just showing what a jerk you are.

Depends whether you want be a jerk and still practice generosity or not.

Then simply don't tip. No reason to make a mess.

That would be not practicing generosity.

My fiancee is a waitress, the best you've ever seen. She's had to deal with everything from jerks who loosen the caps on the salt and pepper shakers to idiot parents who change their baby's diaper at the table and leave the dirty one behind for her to clean up. Nobody likes it when some midget makes their job more difficult. If you're the type to pull a stunt like this, stop going out to eat.

I never said I would ever do anything like this. I said if you want to be a jerk, which is not something I do intentionally. But if you're going to be a jerk, it's better to be a generous one. I mean, wouldn't you feel better about cleaning the salt off the floor if there was a $20 in it?
