Nearly three dozen cars
of a
freight train bound for Selkirk, NY and carrying hazardous materials careened off the tracks in a small Pennsylvania town, igniting fires in some rail cars and a garage and
forcing emergency officials to evacuate the whole town.
It's rather telling then, that over the last few days, that very audience has taken to social networking sites in
force to express their apathy, their disappointment, and occasionally their outrage at an annual event that is steadily shifting from a
freight -
train of digital euphoria to a rather more pedestrian rechurning
of last year's reveals.
