    Images aren't real great, scanned shots from a disposabile camera used in 1998 by a 13 year old kid.

    Are these views all from the same event? Or seperate instances? Oh well. Helps keep someone employed. Filling out those OS&D reports, and more.

    Same accident, someone left a switch open and almost all of the 80 hoppers went into the ground.
