Several railway cars broke loose and sped out of control towards the port in Oslo, the capital. Witnesses said they travelled at 100km/h (62mph).

We're fine luckilly. Nothing really happens where we live, it's too small :)

Jette's step dad works at that facility at the port but he wasn't around when it happened. I think he lost a few work buddies, but maybe Mystic can answer that (his dad).

Everyone of my dads (and my previous) colleagues are OK :) My dad knew one of the ones who didn't make it, but didn't work with him on a daily basis.

Accidents like this one are pretty scary though... I worked there for a few summers and some times during the rest of the year.. And when working in that part of the harbour I usually parked my car about 7-8 meters away from where the train hit.. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened at a busier time of the day.

It is good to hear that he didn't lose a close friend in the accident. But I feel real bad for those who did! It is a scary place to work- keep happening some bad things over there...he lost a colleague when that "container" (not sure if that is the right word)....fall down- a scary accident too!
