Killer trees, derailed trains.....
+1Rail crack, not derailed train la, brother.
Are you in risk of getting raped by 7 men on a bus?
Are you in risk of getting hit by a stray bullet just by going to the market?
Are you in risk of being blown to bits while jogging on the streets?
Do you live in tornado alley?
Do you live in an earthquake belt?
I didn't think so. You are safe.
And people can say that it is just a crack and not a derail. It is exactly this type of mentality that is worrying! Have to wait for something catastrophic to happen before people can wake up their idea.
Did you even SEE it anywhere in the article that SMRT says that "ah shucks. it weren't nuthin'. we ain't gonna fix that. it ain't broken".
also trees used to be uprooted all the time. if you had bothered to read what petetherock mentioned, it seems that the frequency of trees getting uprooted is increasing. however, it's not so. it's just because of mobile phones and social media that more of it is now reported by citizen "journalism".
all of this dramatizing of such incidents make it seem worse than it is.
so what is the intent of your thread? to find someone to blame?
I think you should move to Afganistan. I heard there are lesser trees and no MRT to speak of. You should feel safer there.

My dear young friend, you consider 15 trees fell in just one thunderstorm normal? LOL
And it has nothing to do with the so-called citizen journalism la, fyi. All the info was from the mainstream media aka newspaper and it has been around a long time. just in case you are not aware. LOL
Is it, so what else would you like to see as a symbol of doomsday?
See waterspout and plan for tornado?
See refinery explosion and start stocking up on rations?
See Ferrari accident and make sure install cameras all around the place to make sure no speeding Ferraris are around before crossing the road?
Is your life planned perfectly? Has something you intended not to break broken down before? There is a thin fine line between being ready and paranoia. Are you among those preparing for a zombie apocalypse?

Oh, yar, it has been around a long time. You marvel at 15 trees uprooted in a thunderstorm a few weeks ago.
