Thief Turns Fire Engine into Demonic Destruction Machine
In a disturbing sign of our nation’s growing disorder and disregard for public safety, a 35,000-pound fire engine was brazenly stolen late Friday night in Everett, Washington, while heroic first responders were inside a building attending to a medical emergency. As firefighters rushed to save lives, a criminal seized the opportunity for chaos, commandeering the massive fire truck and leaving a path of destruction across the city—smashing into at least 16 parked cars, damaging public property, and ultimately abandoning the emergency vehicle in a recklessly damaged state.

For the rail industry, this presented a logistical nightmare, and so many railroads kept their own time, further complicating matters. Standardization solved everything. On "The Day of Two Noons," train stations reset their clocks according to newly adopted time standards. Which US city continued to keep local time until the 1900s?
