I'm not a scientist or anything, but with all these modern trains colliding, couldn't it be because of magnets?
Modern trains use magnetic levitation systems, and magnets attract each other, so the chances the magnets malfunctioned or were hacked by third parties are high, are they not?
I just think making two magnet based trains go so close to each other is crazy

>spanish "technology"
here lies the answer you seek

>all these modern trains colliding
it's all these Spanish trains colliding, it's a Spanish thing happening in Spain
>>
>>17083356
>>17083362
Spain has the 2nd best train system in the world, only topped by Japan
>>
>>17083363
best at killing people. hardly something to boast about
>>
>>17083368
>killing
it was an accident. you can't claim it was murder
>>
>>17083370
>we accidentally used Spanish quality assurance
it's murder.

>>17083310
fuck's going on over there they had some previous issues before.
and is this a good argument for trusting humans over dedicated systems? as far as I know this was human error.
>>
>>17083387
no, there was a computerized security system. the human error was to keep the trains circulating after the computer went blue screen of death
>>
Two trains traveling the same direction on shared track stop because red lights ahead (both trains received red signals).
Dispatch advises “false red, proceed at full speed.
Train 2 gets the message and goes full throttle. Train 1 fails to move until Train 2 forces the issue.
Hilarity ensued.
>>
>>17083391
so the computer knew what's up, so much so it had a stroke to stop it all. and humans said "nah brah I know better than the machine"
>>
>>17083397
No, the computer threw a false positive and both trains stopped.
A human told both trains to then proceed.
The front train did not get the message and was subsequently rear ended.
>>
>>17083403
>computer be like: the trains are gonna crash
>minutes later the trains crash
how is that a false positive?
>>
>>17083425
The initial red was false. There was no reason for either train to stop.
>>
>>17083429
stopped trains don't crash
>>
>>17083430
Neither do two trains traveling in the same direction at the same speed.
But both did.
Only one restarted at the gun.
>>
>>17083430
If only the first train hadn’t stopped in the first place.
Oh well. Next time.
>>
>>17083310
Probably just shitty engineering. Countries shouldn't bother with this high-speed shit until they get their normal rail systems and general infrastructure working properly. China and Japan can do it. Spain, not so much.

Unexpected, as always.
>>
Can't they get real time location markers with automated alarm/breaking systems?
>>
>>17083487
And take away a human’s job?
