Train accidents are supposed to be with the least cassualties... Patchman should review this and make (if it is possible) the number of train deaths in TTD a random number (from 1 passenger to everyone on the train).


And btw if you look at it this way - 9 astronauts died and the whole world is mourning; but when thousands of people die because of deseases in Africa,and not much is talked about it...it looks strange.... and what about a death of leader (eg. a president) compared to number of deaths of cancer and AIDs victims each year??

It seems there was a problem when they got up, something hit the left wing, but the specialists didn't think it would be harmful :roll:

Now they will probably blame the recent money cutbacks

It is sad that people in places like Africa die of aids and other diseases, but the difference is they don't affect our lives. We might say astronauts don't, but one way or the other the stuff they do in space does affect us, even if it's as simple as what we're told at school being different to what they taught kids 10 years ago, it still affects us.
