Beleaguered railway chief meets media, residents

The beleaguered president of Maritime, Maine and Atlantic Rail was cornered by media and residents on the street in Lac-Megantic  The above clip gives an idea of where the little railway is standing as the issue of just who dealt with the train’s brakes and what those persons did. As seen in the video, the police have to shepherd Burkhardt out of the scrum. MMA was formed a decade ago to salvage the assets of local companies which were facing bankruptcy. It can only be imagined what will happen to MMA in the oncoming lawsuits that are sure to start flying very soon.
