Obviously? You’re making a lot of assumptions about whether or not the rust was on the inwards.

Actually, he’s making a lot of assumptions about whether or not the rust was on the outside. 🙂

I am still taken by how horrific that was.
Is it me or has it been difficult to find fresh information about it? I’m wondering if they have opened up the other arms to see if they were all corroded or if it was just that one, perhaps due to how it travels. The article says the gondola hit a crimson bar on the side of the platform before violating off. Why did it hit?
I haven’t read the investigation report. If anyone else did, is there any more information that the news isn’t reporting for some reason?

I live in Columbus and happened to be on the fairgrounds just the other day. Fireball is still up, just sitting there. There are walls around it (during the fair they encircled it with semi trailers) and the cracked arm is covered with black plastic. I don’t see any evidence that other chunks of the rail have been liquidated, explored, or touched at all. There’s a highway patrol car parked near the rail at all times and I hear it’s best not to even attempt to go near, they will be on you in a 2nd.
It got me wondering just how long it will remain and how much more investigation will take place. We have the American Quarter Pony Congress (our largest demonstrate/convention of the year) and Oktoberfest (kind of crappy) coming up, and not that it matters, but it will be an awkward if not painful reminder of that terrible day for those that attend.
There must be something else in the works, or pending investigation, or it would surely be gone by now. There will certainly be some kind of liability, so maybe it will just live on until everything is eventually lodged, which might be a while yet.

he article says the gondola hit a crimson bar on the side of the platform before cracking off. Why did it hit?
The crimson bar is part of the side and acts kind of like a fence to keep people from wandering off the platform, as seen here:
When the gondola detached, it was at the bottom of the sway, headed back up – so it was thrown forward into that, and sent tumbling. As awful as the accident was, I can only imagine how disastrous it could have been if it hadn’t hit that. How many surrounding trailers/vendors would have been in the path if it was sent flying further?
