This footage is insane, but what might be even more insane: the guys inside this train survived. The community outside didn't.
This is northwestern Ontario, where 128 wildfires are burning tonight and 53 are out of control. Down the same rail line, a First Nation of about 40 people burned Monday night. Residents fled by boat. The local MPP says the entire community has been erased.
The fire that did it has been burning since May 31. Six weeks. Then 40 C heat and high winds turned it into a 14,000-hectare monster in a matter of days.
The detail that should worry you more than the video: three trains loaded with combustible and flammable materials are stopped and staged on this same line because the fire cut them off. Parked fuel cargo, inside an active fire zone.
The crew in this footage had detached their locomotive to rescue a track foreman. That's why they were in the fire's path when it closed around them. One of them can be heard saying "this could potentially overtake us."
The only highway into the area is closed. When the road closes and the rail line burns, a boat becomes the evacuation plan.
Marsh and the boys played unafraid and aggressive against a top ranked team despite having key players injured, they should be proud of their accomplishment because the country is proud of them #CanMNT
@ORNGTESLA@LeoSmith9fq8@Underdog Get fucked dickhead you hide your face behind a screen like a coward to avoid accountability. LBJ is the only player to ditch his hometown twice and flee to superteams, you both share the mindset of running away from acknowledging yourselves as losers
@LeoSmith9fq8@Underdog Complete exaggeration, the Heat were favourites from the day LBJ (prime btw) signed, then breezed through the East before blowing a 2-1 lead against Dallas. Wade was a champ, LBJ in the finals. Spurs are younger, in their first playoffs, & been a lottery team last 4 years
Ontario police are using spyware that lets them remotely take over your smartphone. They’re fighting to keep almost everything about it secret https://t.co/tQ1D0WF7M7
