What does it mean?

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 derailed
Was it multi-track drifting?

>>2063723

It was apparently inspected 4 days ago…

This happens every couple of years. Did another spaniard take a siesta at the wheel again?

>>2063727
Was there no degradation detected?
That would be highly interesting.

>Internet "experts" making dumb guesses after accidents.

>>2063713
you seriously think spain is a third world country only in those aspects? lol
try going there and taking to their low IQ subhuman population

>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 item
Why would anyone design a system so that is easily possible?
Whoever made the specifications for that should probably also be investigated.

>>2063696
Wake me up when the webm drops.

>>2063739
Because 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.

If 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.

It'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.

Wasn't there a train crash in Thailand too? It must be the solar flares.

>>2063886
These have to be fucking terror attacks. There is no fucking way this is from neglect or maintenance issues.

>>2063901

Socialism
Not even once

Honestly, these small accidents have been happening since forever, it's just that we had the big one on Sunday so now any minor incident gets lots of attention. Last summer pretty much every day there was a train stuck in a tunnel or in the middle of nowhere because of a power outage. This country is a fucking disgrace and there's no saving it.

I subscribe to the WhatsApp channel for Rodalies and every day there’s delays for infrastructure problems, breakdowns, theft of copper wires, corpses being scrapes from the tracks…it’s just getting reported on now because it’s the current happening.

>>2064146
So there's been a severe lack of proper maintenance for a while and the problem has surfaced now
An you think everything is alright?

>>2064176

who thinks everything is alright? nobody likes it, but it's just the way it's always been. it's only getting attention now.

>>2064197
Your reductionist bullshit tells me enough, leftoid
No matter how hard you try to normalize the situation, you only tell on yourself

Now that the dust has settled, what made this happen?

>>2065817
It seems a rail broke and fell on its side while the train was passing by.
Why did the rail break? I've lost track of the investigation

>>2065826
>Why did the rail break?
a train hit it

>>2065817
It seems there was some problem with the welding and the rail broke.

>>2064176
There has been a lack of proper investment in commuter trains for over a decade, and now we are seeing the effects of that policy
