What could have caused that?

Ah.
Redditor Ron Fulgelseth and his 4 year-old son attach Stanley to a weather balloon and send him up 18 miles with a GoPro camera trained on him, then gather the little engine up again when he lands 27 miles away from the lift-off point.
A serious contender for Best Dad Ever.
A beautifully animated short by Jacob Wyatt, in which a spectral white fox makes off with a girl’s train ticket.

Utterly plausible in its geeknitude, the internets-bothering video they’re calling ‘The New Double Rainbow‘ (aka ‘Double Trainbow’) is actually a loving parody of an earlier (and absolutely genuine) reaction video posted earlier this year by ‘foamer’ Mark McDonough.
Both are things of trainspotterly beauty.
Oh.
Senator In Sense Of Entitlement Shocker (Boards.ie)
Senator Fidelma Healy Eames, Fine Gael
Update: Statement from Fine Gael, via Politics.ie:
“Senator Healy Eames boarded the 6.50am train to Dublin in a rush, at Athenry station yesterday morning (Thursday). She did so on the understanding that she would be able to purchase a ticket on board, as she had previously done on recent occasions. She was approached by an officer from the revenue protection unit on board who asked her for ID. She produced her Seanad ID card. She offered to buy a ticket as normal. He told her she could not buy a ticket from him and and fined her €100.
Senator Healy Eames was shocked to learn this as she had purchased two tickets on board just weeks earlier, in June. She showed the RPU officer the counterfoils which proved that they were both purchased on the train. Senator Healy Eames has appealed the fine.”

How this scenario came to pass is anyone’s guess: let’s just say that trains are long and patience is short.
Standard hazardous stupidity up to around 1:50, when Brad’s ‘friend’ utters the chilling words:
‘Hey, you got time to roll over between wheels…’
