I'd say five or six months before...

I more or less returned to my normal state because I was in shock.

I didn't realize what I'd just been through.

I felt like I was in a bad dream, but I was aware of everything I'd seen, of everything that had happened.

But I kept telling myself there was this little voice inside me saying, this can't be happening.

But it was reality, unfortunately so.

After the derailment, and once the intense media pressure started to die down a bit, I realized that all sorts of people were coming to Megantic.

First, there were crowds of onlookers who came to see what was happening.

People who didn't understand anything and found it all unbelievable.

After that, there were people who were approached by Anne-Marie about environmental issues and all sorts of other things, including safety concerns.

There were a bunch of opportunists who came looking for good business opportunities.

We've seen that, and we're still seeing it.

I also realized later that it was frowned upon to name the real culprits, if you can call them that, or the potential culprits, the real potential culprits.

I noticed a certain amount of censorship regarding the way reality is portrayed.

I also realized that while we were closely following the trial of the defendants in Sherbrooke, that we seemed to be disrupting the proceedings.

I don't know why, but he didn't seem to be welcome.

We were even almost kicked out.

That has left me with serious questions ever since, and I continue to learn more about it every day.

I also realize today that the vast majority of the people in Lac-Mégantic and the surrounding area are hardly in a position to hear the true story from someone who lived through it.

Because it still hurts too much.
