Short translation:
Just as the rescue for the train that fell off-track (6 dead, 50 wounded) started, another train ran by and almost killed the rescue men. It was supposed to bring help, but for some reason it could not stop in time. (They say it's because it's an old diesel locomotive, and the slope of the track is too steep.)

I know some people already blogged about train crashes, but have you ever witnessed something like that, or any of your friends/relatives?

Scary! I don't know what I'd do if I were in a train that was about to crash.

you wouldn't do anything because you are a WHIMP !!!!!!!

jk

but seriously, you dont see something like that every day, and 6 dead

And that video doesn't show the actual crash, but a train that had been sent to help with the crash losing control and almost killing several more people and tumbling over the edge.

Je bote.

I was surprised about that second train. Read about the crash, and really didn't expect another train to turn up there.

Unfortunate accident, but doesn't seem particularly noteworthy (a few people dead, 50 wounded, no controversy; sad but happens all the time). Still, that surprised me too when that second train came through. I don't think that explanation about why the train couldn't stop is sufficient though.

umm.... please change your blog title. The video shows the aftermath of the train accident, not the train accident itself.

Now they're saying both of the trains had breaks failure. lol
And they apparently sprayed around with something against herbs, so it might have made the track a bit more slippery or something.
