But does it concern a Boat, Train or Plane?

Heard this on the radio just after it happened. The figures they were giving were hard to comprehend without pictures.

Train - a series of consequences wrought by an event; "over speeding the turbine led to a train of structural failures"

Where should I post about an Ekranoplan then Eric..?

[Eric Mc]

Or a hovercraft? But at least both exhibit some similarities to a boat or a plane. But a hydro-electric power station?

Yeah, dubious linking - at best.

I got fed up with a forum that put bureaucracy before discussion

[Eric Mc]

Maybe we should have a Bureaucracy Forum?

Rushydro stock fell 11.4% after this accident.
It has to make you wonder how much of an accident these kinds of events are.

I don't think it would take much effort on anyones part (Who worked there) to make a few dials read out wrong and "break" a few safety features.

Short sell Rushydro a few days before and keep it running. Boom. You're set to make millions.

Is that where the start of Goldeneye was filmed?

No. The opening sequence in Goldeneye took place at the Verzasca hydro-electric dam in Switzerland.
