is this Terrorism?

>>57689
no, probably something between a malfunction and incompetence

>>57689

no, just terroni fuckups:

fortunately it's not the same company that operates the main lines

>Earlier this year, 11 people died on a single track in southern Germany when two trains collided head-on at Bad Aibling near the Austrian border. Investigators said a signal controller had mistakenly allowed both trains to use the line, disabling an automatic safety system.

Are Germans "terroni" too? Accidents happen and we still don't know if this actually was an human error due to someone's incompetence.

-you have a schedule to follow and it's the same everyday
-safety systems are designed by humans
-etc.

Andria (the city where 1 of 2 trains was from) citizen reporting here.
20+ deaths and 50+ wounded.

27 deaths
they are investigating over missed or not respected phone calls that were needed to stop one of the trains; not much automatic devices are in place on that line (less than 2% of lines in Italy are like this one)

If it comes out that this was the fault of a driver on drugs or an operator at the depot on his phone then he should be charged with murder.

I like to wonder whether I could survive a train crash. I imagine it's like being magically flung about your room quite violently.

Incompetence.
How it works is that the train is unmonitored on the rails between two stations. The only way knowing is a guy on a phone at each station allowing trains to enter the unmonitored rail after checking with the opposing station no train is already occupying it.

A system extremely vulnerable to human error. No additional safety systems existed.

>No additional safety systems existed.

According to the article the signal operator overrode the automatic safeties to allow the trains to share the track, presumably because one was expected to break away at some point.

So yeah, the system shouldn't have its safeties able to be offed by a single person without controller confirmation, for one, and a scheduling plan, at the very least. Single point of failure is a human (at first glance).

fucking muslims

>my interpals qt takes the train every day.
>hasn't been online since this happened

I am from bary. 30 person were dead, we could talk about the "human error" but there are a lot of other factors.
The railway wasn't part of the italian train security system, was a private railway so....
