Thanks giving.. well roots back to celebration of immigrants thanking the natives of US of A for helping them to survive in this land. This was believed to have been a feast given by them to the natives. Though modern day Thanks giving dinner has turkey and pumpkin pie ( off-late) as part of their 'mandatory' menu, this was not proven in the past historic records....
well idhellam oru pakkam irukka.... this holiday week end witnesses one of the most nightmarish traffic on the roads esp the evening before thanks giving. Usually, any long week end starts with the heavy traffic with people trying to escape for vacations. This was kind of reduced with 9/11 and people started travelling without fear from last year end (2004).
With the increasing madness..... there have been a drastic number of accidents with this madness...of heavy traffic.
One such accident was witnessed by people in Chicago this wednesday, nov 23, 2005. One of the trains hit the cars in a level crossing. There were a total of 12 cars being hit and the statistics of people injured were not reported properly to the media. The cause of the accident is still not known. How did so many cars get there when they knew that the train is being run on a "scheduled time"??? This is a total mystery. The time table of the trains is followed strictly in this country and it is never altered even by a minute unless abnormal or unavoidable circumstances. I found it too mysterious. 
The most surprising part of this was that, this news though it was covered by important channels like CNN was not made a big issue. This NEWS making incident was made a small report by the media. I found it very surprising. What could be the reason??? (1) Was this because this might be considered "inauspicious ??? beginning " for this thanksgiving season ( Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of holidays and celebrations) (2) Was it because they wanted to protect their 'responsible' behaviour??? (3) Was it because they did not want to panic the huge crowd travelling across the country???
If something like this has happened in India, I can imagine the commotion the politicians would have made.. (imagine ... with LALU being the minister of railways....cant stop myself from ROTFL with imagining what his responses would have been )...
well.. all this apart... I was also one of them who had to wait in the train which was delayed for 3+ hours and also saw those cars involved in the accident. From the damage to the cars, am sure any witness could easily imagine the state of the lives involved with the accident.
Along with wishing you all for Thanksgiving....I would like to pray for the recovery of those people.

ipray for that people who injured in this accident. when this incident happen in India, the suntv will put the news like, Rail mothi car appalam pola noringiyathuuuu...
Happy Thanksgiving !! :-)
hi there...happy thanks givinng to u as well...
a little suggestion. The mouse pointer with "enzzzoiiii" get quite frustrating after some. I mean if the mouse happens to be on ur post, well can u imagine the revolving letters and u trying to read through them. May be u dont read it directly from ur blog page, so may be u didnt realise this.
If that is removed, this would be more presentable.
Sad that they did not cover this.. as u said they probably did not want to scare away ppl travelling everywhere.. hence they just sticked with showing cat dies, dog cries stories.. Hope the victims get better soon..
@ jeevan : thank you.
