Train full of people stopped on tracks with wildfires very close to tracks on both sides.

(86,867 posts)Something the platform has been doing lately. Some videos require a login now.
Sometimes you aren't allowed to see more than one or two comment then the "you must log in" popup comes on.
It will find its way out of the twitterverse like they always do, eventually.

(12,792 posts)the A/C wasn't working due to the heat, then finally the train itself broke down and halted out in the middle of nowhere. They were trying to keep everyone hydrated but a couple of people required medical help. I remember a mechanic desperately trying to get the doors open. Finally they opened and we were able to walk out into a field. A couple of hours later another train showed up and took us on to the destination.
I suppose if enough people are affected by these ongoing heat events, fires, floods, etc, then maybe there will enough of a political will to do something about it!

It helps to study up and ask a few questions, before selecting your next vacation.

Their obscene wealth will protect them they think.
