train derailment

So I get a message from a guy I bought 10 n64 controllers from that my package was delayed for a train derailment.  Pretty sure it was this one:

I was pretty surprised that it only was missing for a day or two.  Well, it came and something pinkish spilled and smelled like alcohol.   They had a crap load of newspaper surrounding them so I'm pretty sure they're ok.  I'm glad it didn't end up in the Missiissippi river!  Reading that article made me a little concerned it may have been some sort of chemicals, yikes!

    Well it's better than getting a bunch of fertilizer on your controllers image. But that's really weird how it contained your controllers.

    It's weird that the tracking actually says "train derailment".

    It was with UPS by the way. I thought it was wine at first but chemicals would have alcohol too so who knows what it was.

    That is so funny

    At least they're honest about what caused the delay, instead of just saying "miscellaneous delay" or something else vague and nondescript.

    It's just so funny that it says "TRAIN DERAILMENT" so nonchalantly almost as if train derailment is a regular occurrence and they were expecting it. I still think this is absolutely hilarious.
