What a lame attempt; Putting a log on a railway line. They didn't deserve to succeed with an idea like that.

Logs have caused many major train accidents over the years, as the article reads, if it was going a bit faster it would of derailed the train into a ditch, likely to cause many injuries and deaths.

Yeah, but that'd make it look like an accident - no good for any kind of political aims or objectives...
and just imagine the meeting... "right chaps, we're gonna put a log infront of the queen's train! now, where's the Fosters?"

assassinations will always happen in monarchys, especially by people in the royal family, everyone wants the power.

It's very hardly old news as no one knew about it until now, it's new news, it just happened so long ago so that isn't the "truest time" that statement can be used.

Quite frankly, it probably would have worked if the train wasn't going so slow.

People did know about it, that towns police department people :)

Indeed. If you're going to kill someone, at least be creative about it.

[Jordy]

39 years.If you're going to start correcting people do it properly, it's actually 38 years. Two can play at that game.

Presumably something would of leaked out or some terrorist organisation would of claimed to of done it if there was a cover-up.

Outside of that small selection of people no one else knew, it's not old news, don't even try start an arguement about this.

Presumably, something would of *have leaked out or some terrorist organisation would of *have claimed to of *have done it if there was a cover-up.

If you're going to start correcting people who are correcting people, at least have the decency not to make a catalogue of gramatical errors in the next sentence.

(This could be fun)

(This could be fun)Yes that goes for you too, you couldn't spell the most important word in your post grammatical. I don't correct people's spelling/grammar unless they correct mine, there was no need for you to step in when spelling/grammar errors were totally irrelevant and also it wasn't a catalogue of errors, it was the same error repeated three times.

There should really be a comma after "Yes".
