Subway Crash



In Rome two subways crashed killing at least one person and injured as many as 60 others. Some are still trapped underground. It is still not known if it was human error or some sort of technical fault from the subway trains. This is unlikely though because the trains were brand new. Also witnesses on the second train that hit the first say that the driver (who died) ran the red light going into the station.

Right when I saw this I thought of terrorist attacks but it seems that this is not the case. Also the transportation expert himself "ruled out" that it was a terrorist attack. But I would not be surprised if in a few days this comes out at some attack. Otherwise the driver of the second car would have to be having sucidial thoughts because why else would someone blow a red light with high speed subway trains??

For a more in depth look at the story here is another link that was posted later
