Bridge collapses, train hauling space shuttle SRB derails

In a terrible accident, a Union Pacific freight train hauling the space shuttle solid rocket boosters derailed inside a forested areas in the state of Alabama. The destruction of the space shuttle solid rocket boosters may affect future space missions. Initial reports say that six people suffered injuries and that the eight booster segments on board the train were damaged.

Thankfully, the space shuttle solid rocket boosters did not ignite. Has that happened, they would have burned out of control and released toxic gas. It is impossible to stop a solid rocket booster propellant fire once started.

Officials are investigating the reason for the collapse of the recently repaired bridge. My guess is sabotage.
