The Accidental Reality

This news report is fresh for November 10, 2006. A train in California derailed, spilling lots of hazardous materials into a forest. Only one person was killed, one is missing and the rest are suffering minor injuries. Like the last Fox News story, this one focuses more on statistics and data than it does on the human angle. Perhaps Fox News is publishing information that concerns the public who travels on the affected rail line for business or pleasure. The report does discuss how much of the hazardous fuels that were spilled into the forest. It does not give any details as to how or when the spill will be cleaned up. My impression of the article is that it presents the situation as it is, with no analysis or background information.
