That news article has the CCTV footage of the train derailing. Horrible. I cannot imagine being inside one of those rail cars as the shit goes haywire.

Hear about this on the way home from work this morning......so sad!

Rob Instigator · 07.25.2013, 08:25 AM

Over 75 people killed that they know. Over 130 injured. It must have been so insane.

EVOLghost · 07.25.2013, 08:29 AM

Damn....that footage is pretty intense. Terrible thing to see.

Rob Instigator · 07.25.2013, 08:31 AM

That train was going haul-ass. According to Spanish authorities it may have been way above it's speed limit.

Rob Instigator · 07.25.2013, 08:31 AM

Spain is a big country but why do I always worry that the people I know who live in Spain may have been on the train? I guess that's human nature.

It is not a graphic video, in that you can see carnage, but it is violent and you can easily imagine the terror one would feel. Take care Spanish SY fanaticos

I was really worried about a friend who was travelling home yesterday and has family in the area. I am relieved to find out him and his wife are safe. Awful tragedy.

The driver's being investigated by police. From what I'm reading in the papers he's a bit of a speed freak:

Garzón's position was compromised by the emergence of a photograph that he posted to his Facebook page showing his speedometer at 200km/h. It was not clear if, when the photograph was taken, he was on a stretch of the network where high speeds were permitted.

It nevertheless surprised Garzón's friends. One wrote: "You're going like the bloody clappers, lad. Brake." The driver replied: "I'm at the limit. I can't go faster, otherwise they'll fine me."

turns out the dude was not only speeding, he was also on the phone?? Sighs.

3 serious train accidents all within a small period of time.

I've been reading too much David Balducci and Brad Thor lately,where these kind of things are part of larger plots...

gualbert · 07.31.2013, 12:30 PM

Plus one in Bretigny-sur-orge, France, 12 july 2013.
That's coincidences.

Yeah, its called a news cycle. There are horrifying train wrecks all the time, but when one captures the news cycle suddenly they ALL do. Plus, when there is even a slight up-tick in occurrences, it is natural for the human mind (a) to take increasing notice and (b) search of a pattern as pattern-seeking animals.

There's no such thing as coincidences.
