Rules are Rules. Do not let common sense stand in the way of a good disaster.

Rules are Rules.   Do not let common sense  stand in the way of a good disaster.

From:  Billibob

Subject: rules are rules.

 

Good news:

It was a normal day in Sharon Springs , Kansas , when a Union Pacific crew boarded a loaded coal train for the long trek to Michigan.

Bad news:

Just a few miles into the trip a wheel bearing became overheated and melted, letting a metal support drop down and grind on the rail, creating white hot molten metal droppings spewing down to the rail.

Good news:

A very alert crew noticed smoke about halfway back in the train, and immediately stopped the train in compliance with the rules

Bad news:

The train stopped with the hot wheel over a wooden bridge with creosote ties and trusses.

The crew tried to explain this to Union Pacific higher-ups but were instructed not to move the train!

They were informed that rules prohibited moving the train when a part was found to be defective!

'REMEMBER, RULES IS RULES!'

(Don't ever let common sense get in the way of a good disaster! )

Thanks Billibob,

I needed that semi-humorous relief.

But who got fired?  The train conductor or the higher-up?

Cheers,

James

Smiles, the train conductor of course.

All is well with the Orgone Box seems to enhance all other treatments.
