Environmental campaigners say that the death of Sebastien Briat, 21, who had chained himself to the railway track in front of a train carrying 12 containers of radioactive waste, illustrated the dangers of this kind of transportation. Activists said the accident showed how difficult it was to guarantee the security of the cargo as it travelled along the nation's rail network.

Now the protesters claim that Sebastian's death shows that trains carrying nuclear waste are dangerous. Presumably if the train had not been carrying nuclear waste it would have left Sebastian unharmed.

Presumably the moral of the story is that these trains are relatively safe compared to other methods of transport. They only become unsafe when loonies tie themselves to the track or when suicidal drivers park across level crossings.

Cheers Sebastian. Your stupidity made me laugh.
