Two trains collided into each other, at least 21 dead. Developing story.
>All major train incidents this year have been high-speed rail.>Not a single high-speed rail incident in 2025.What does it mean?
This is a drill.
can't have high-speed rail incidents if you don't have high speed rail
current tally is 39 dead, rip
Furthermore, I bet a lot of deaths could've been avoided if seatbelts were standard of trains. Don't see why buses and planes have them but trains cannot.
it happend again...this time a train derailed while crossing with another one
in terms of infrastructure, technical competency, and government corruption, Spain is a third world country masquerading as a first world one.
Looks like some rail breakage at a crossover.Either the inspection frequency should be increased or degradation should actually be acted upon.Probably less of a money question and more of a management question tbph.
>There's a switch just next to the crash site>The rear of one train derailedWas it multi-track drifting?
>>2063723It was apparently inspected 4 days ago…
This happens every couple of years. Did another spaniard take a siesta at the wheel again?
>>2063727Was there no degradation detected?That would be highly interesting.
>>2063723>Internet "experts" making dumb guesses after accidents.
>>2063713you seriously think spain is a third world country only in those aspects? loltry going there and taking to their low IQ subhuman population
>>2063727>>2063731>trusting railway workers to actually inspect the tracks rather than ticking "OK" on every item and spending their day at the pub.On whom the shame when it happens for the bazillionth time?If it was indeed a broken rail that caused it, well sucks to have to suffer in a country where axle counting is deemed an appropriate way to run railway signalling. Track circuits would have detected that broken rail and put the signals at danger to stop the train.
>>2063738>ticking "OK" on every itemWhy would anyone design a system so that is easily possible?Whoever made the specifications for that should probably also be investigated.
>>2063696Wake me up when the webm drops.
>>2063739Because that's how any test or inspection report works? You get a piece of paper or a digital equivalent with a list of things to check, the expected result, an OK / Not OK decision to make, maybe some room for additional comments and some place allocated to the identification and signature of the operator.Sure people can "cheat" the reports and low IQ maintenance monkeys are very much prone to it if not properly supervised. I personally wouldn't though. I enjoy not living in a jail cell.t. signalling system designer and commissioner.
>>2063738If only there was a way to detect defects before shit breaks...And yeah, insulated rail joints are fantastic. Basically a perfect component that everyone loves.>>2063739kekSweet summer child.
>>2063727It's a spanish "inspection". That was a soldered joint that was broken apart, I just read on skyscrapercity that radiographic inspection of soldered rails isn't compulsory around there, lol, lmao even, so the inspection was probably just of the track geometry.Don't trust your life to people who live below the Pyrenees, and double check everything south of Switzerland.
it happened again, on the commuter rail outside Barcelona. this country is a shithole.

guys it...it happened againhttps://apnews.com/article/spain-train-crash-adamuz-barcelona-71f6ad926cd48044df6854fdd52ba722
Wasn't there a train crash in Thailand too? It must be the solar flares.
>>2063886These have to be fucking terror attacks. There is no fucking way this is from neglect or maintenance issues.
