THE MORRISBURG RAILWAY HORROR.
Recovery of the Bodies of Driver Stewart and Fireman Clark.
Brockville. April 25. By persistent and almost superhuman work on the part of the regular road staff assisted by scores of willing volunteers the bodies of the engineer and fireman killed on tbe Grand Trunk at Morrisburg on Friday morning were recovered late in the afternoon. Stewart's body was in sight of those working for hours before it was possible to get at it without removing a vast pile ot wreckage whicn had tumbled into the gorge. When found he was sitting in an almost natural position in tbe cab seat. His face had been very little injured, but his body and limbs were considerably crushed and mangled. - Tender hands carried the body to the bank and the search was then continued for Clark the fireman. The latter was also found in tbe cab but presented a horrible spectacle. The poor fellow had been jammed close on to the boiler head and in addition to being horrribly mangled was scalded beyond recognition. Bcth bodies were at once taken to Morrisburg and duuring the night brought to their homes here
It is impossible yet to accurately estimate the loss to tbe railway company, but it will certainly be heavy. The bridge is a wreck as are also the thirteen cars, but it is thought the engine can be made available for service. Transfers are still necessary, though a large force of men are busily engaged in the construction of a temporary wooden bridge,
What happened: Ben spun, a yellow flag came out so everybody should have been slowing down, two cars pass Ben with no problem, third guy in a Porsche GT3RS was not paying attention to the flags and instead was trying to still race the Porsche in front of him and saw Ben too late. He tried to swerve but ended up hitting Ben between 60-70 MPH head on. The guy didn’t even seem phased that he’d just wrecked his $140,000 car, let alone Ben’s M3. Asked Ben once if he was okay and that was it. Basically, he’s a rich asshole.
The Garden Island Ships' Graveyard, in the North Arm of the Port Adelaide River, offers paddlers a chance to experience part of South Australia's early maritime history.
The 26 wrecks at Garden Island are part of one of the world's largest and most diverse ships' graveyards. Boasting the remains of sailing ships, steamers, motor vessels, ferries,
barges, dredgers and pontoons, the site provides a unique glimpse into our past.
The mudflats the wrecks lay on are bounded by mangroves – one of the few remaining systems in metropolitan Adelaide. This eco-system provides a habitat for dolphins, other
marine creatures and bird species, enhancing a recreational paddler's experience.
The trail is marked by three on-water signs near the main group of wrecks, as well as two on-land signs at the Garden Island boat ramp.
The schooner rigged screw steamer Enterprise was built in 1868 by Joseph Matthew of Sydney, with original measurements of 49.6 feet (15.1 m) in length, 11.4 feet (3.5 m) breadth
and 5.6 feet (1.7 m) depth. In 1872 the iron hulled vessel was lengthened to 78.7 feet (24.0 m) with 12.5 feet (3.8 m) breadth, 5.2 feet (1.6 m) depth and a gross tonnage of 36 tons.
The Enterprise was initially used for towing small craft around the ports of Sydney and later Adelaide, but was also involved in two significant communications developments in South
Australia's colonial history. In 1873 the steamer was engaged at Roper River in the Northern Territory, transporting supplies for the construction of the Overland Telegraph. In the late
1870s the Enterprise proceeded to the River Murray to assist with the building of the railway bridge across the river at Murray Bridge. It grounded at the Murray Mouth and was
delayed almost 10 weeks before being successfully refloated.
The steamer later returned to Port Adelaide as a general purpose vessel. Upon its deregistration in 1913, the Enterprise became a water-tender for a short time, before it was
eventually abandoned at the Garden Island Ships' Graveyard around August 1913. Today the remains lie largely hidden among the mangroves. The hull is basically complete along its
length with an intact stern section.

So I got hit by a car and this is what's left of my bike. To say it's unrideable is an understatement.
Rescue putting the 2 injured people into this ambulance. I heard them say they were in stable condition. (The first person in the white shirt is being put in while this person is next).
A passenger in this red pickup truck was taken to the Medical Center of South Arkansas for observation Wednesday evening after it slammed into the back of a semi-truck that was stopped in front of the Mobil Station on U.S. 82 waiting to turn into the truck stop. The driver of the pickup, Robert Paul Phillips of 170 Razorback Road, El Dorado, was cited for following too close. The woman passenger in the pickup didn't appear to be badly injured,according to a state trooper, but was not wearing a seat belt and hit her head on the windshield.
The door of this car is riddled with bullet holes. The result of a Mafia killing? Or just some kids having fun with a wreck?
