@oclsc Been wondering since East Palestine why there's a) no NIST standard for all flavors of defect detectors, b) no national law specifying implementation, testing protocols. c) FDR Wallace would threaten nationalization to fix the mess

The Wreck of the Old 97 was an American rail disaster involving the Southern Railway mail train in 1903. Traveling at an excessive speed to maintain schedule, the train derailed at the Stillhouse Trestle near Danville, Virginia, where it careened off the side of the bridge, killing 11
The wreck inspired the first million-selling country music ballad in 1924
