    Train crashes into truck carrying music instruments in Texas
    In San Antonio, Texas, a truck carrying a school band's instruments became stuck on a railroad crossing just as a train approached. The crash was unavoidable, but despite the impact, most of the instruments survived. With help from nearby schools, the band was still able to perform in their competition that evening.

    Even better lol. Great song too, actually the whole album is pretty good.

    Well me, it's been nice talking to myself, a credit to dementia.
    Some day you too will know my pain, and smile it's black toothed grin.

    I was thinking a good headline could read
    “Railroad destroys Texas Instruments” I don’t know if they are still operating or not
