Return of the Living Dead. Though it was tongue in cheek this movie scared the living shit out of 13 year old me.

Legit…45 now and still have the occasional tar man nightmare. Love this movie tho. And the soundtrack.

Fun fact…the director of this…wrote the original Alien movie.

And Peter Jackson, before showing us the glory of middle earth, made a film about an aussie slaying zombified townsfolk infected by a deep jungle rat mokey thing.

It's amazing how strange the previous works of many celebrated artists usually end up being.

That movie was called Dead Alive aka Braindead. Also, don't forget about Bad Taste, another crazy campy horror movie he was involved in.

Never seen bad taste, but dear God is dead alive phenomenal. The number of quotable lines and stupid out of context scenes alone make it a must watch, but add in the gratuitous practical effects....well worth it to watch it.

I get it, but cmon, peoples lives are ruined and many are suffering due to this tragedy caused by deregulation and corporate greed. I'm sure those in power will do nothing to fix it from happening again....sadly.

It was pretty much government endorsed eco terrorism.

At the very least, scientists will be able to study the effects and know how something like this affects an area over time.

The film is still relevant it seems, in terms of the state and federal response.

Biden signed a bill to prevent the strike that was trying to bring this very issue, among the hundreds of others, to light.

The issue was already known and certain people decided not to move forward with future proofing

Bit late on the reply, but okay.

Yes, it's been known about by the rail company, workers as well as the Republicans and Democrats. Both parties have shot down attempts at fixing the issue. And the Democrats were the ones to sign a bill, that shit on the only real attempt at creating a situation where the public was not just aware, but enraged.

Ya know, the way a strike works.

Your link is literally just explaining that. Now, run along.

Yea I'm late to reply because I don't sit on reddit responding to every comment.

You keep mentioning the strike but that is one part of it. I'm looking at the overall picture, which spans back years. I'm looking at preventative measures that would and should have been enacted. But due to politics and greed, we moved away from those measures.

We should have equipped the trains with a better braking system. Could it have helped avoid the situation? Possibly? But we won't know because we picked the other option with predictable results. The same thing can be said about the strike.

If you wanted real change, both democrats and republicans should have moved forward with the best solution to ensure public safety. Which again, the Obama Admin tried to do. The best solution was to future proof train brakes and railroad workers safety. Pure and simple. One party did not want to do that and here we are.

If you don't want to have a civil convo and be a dick, just don't respond.
