Just in case today's S-Bahn cable fire was arson (and for future potential S-Bahn arsonists)

May 23, 2011 12:00

Dear assholes who thought it was a good idea to set fire on S-Bahn cables,

Run very fast, very far away. Because if they find out that someone really did set fire to those cables, you will have not only the police but also practically all of Berlin on your heels, including me. Isn't it enough that the S-Bahn is still on emergency schedule and will ( Read more... )

Ugh , sucks. Some idiots find it funny to sabotage train tracks here too sometimes. Or throw couches on the rails etc. Which one is the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn already?

I just don't get the motivation behind this. Apparently, it was meant as a political statement against the Deutsche Bahn (who owns the S-Bahn, but not the U-Bahn... yes, this is confusing, I know ;)) who allows their tracks to be used by Castor transports of atomic waste.

But... I don't get it. What do they want to achieve with that? That ordinary people hate anti-atom activists? Well, I'm pretty sure they are a step closer to that now (additionally to half the city being without S-Bahn coverage, half the town was and partially is without internet coverage because the cable fire also caught cables of a wireless/internet carrier... idiots).

Which one is the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn already?The U-Bahn is the one below ground (occasionally, though, above ground, too... ye-es, it's confusing as hell, I know) and is owned by the city, the S-Bahn is the one above ground and owned by the Deutsche Bahn (the main railway company in Germany, kinda like SNCF in France).

Sabotage is definitely not the solution. That and they will be hated even more with the internet issue.

Oh yeah U-Bahn is the subway/metro/RATP. Used to take the dark green line during my short time in Berlin.

BTW, love your "What I don't even" tag. I should invest in a similar one.

Yeah, or as my mum said today: "We don't need Al Qaida here in Germany. We're doing a pretty good job of it ourselves."

That and they will be hated even more with the internet issue.

Yes, heitidei, my sister is one of the people afflicted and she's still livid.

Used to take the dark green line during my short time in Berlin.

You should come back and try the other ones, too :D

Sadly, I feel like I use it far too often... I just should stop getting to pissed off so often :D
