(2022-05-22_22-32-01 (Belga))


Un train transportant un millier de passagers a brusquement arrêté sa course dimanche soir entre Merelbeke et Melle, au sud de Gand, après un possible sabotage. Selon la SNCB, une enquête est en cours sur l'incident.

Le train circulant d'Ostende à Bruxelles s'est arrêté vers 19h30 juste après Merelbeke. Les passagers ont été évacués, même si le train a pu reprendre son voyage peu après.

Selon le porte-parole de la SNCB Dimitri Temmerman, il s'agit d'un acte sérieux qui fait l'objet d'une enquête. Il n'a pas voulu faire de commentaire sur la nature de l'incident.



Excerpts From The First Annual Nerd Bowl (#1)

JOHN SPLADDEN: Hi, and welcome to the first annual Nerd Bowl in sunny
Silicon Valley.

BRYANT DUMBELL: We're coming to you live from the Transmeta Dome to watch
the battle between the North Carolina Mad Hatters and the Michigan
Portalbacks as they compete for the coveted Linus Torvalds Trophy.

SPLADDEN: This is shaping up to be one hell of a match. The Mad Hatters --
sponsored by Linux distributor Red Hat -- have been on fire the past
month. But the Andover.Net sponsored Michigan Portalbacks are on a tear as
well, thanks in part to the stellar performance of Rob "Taco Boy" Malda.

DUMBELL: Taco Boy is quite a star, John. Last week at the Kernelbowl he
blew away the Transmeta Secret Agents when he scored 51 points
singlehandedly in the Flying CompactDiscus round.

SPLADDEN: But then Mad Hatter's Alan Cox was voted this season's Most
Valuable Hacker in the Eastern Division. So, this game is going to be
quite a show.
