The driver apparently fucked up. He called in the radio panicking saying he didn't stop the train in time (it goes 200 mph, but he's supposed to slow down to 80 mph for that turn) and that it was gonna derail. He didn't have enough time to slow it down.

I can't imagine what it would feel like to call that in knowing your about to kill a bunch of people and can't do a thing about it.SportsAndLady;1478494 wrote:The driver apparently fucked up.

This article? It sounds like an automatic fail safe to slow the train didn't work either?SportsAndLady;1478494 wrote:The driver apparently fucked up.

Question:
On a high speed rail like this where would be a safe place to sit? Front few cars didn't seem to be a good idea.
middle of the train or the last few cars? Where is the safer seating location on a high speed rail line?
What area of an Air Plane do you prefer sitting when flying? I like to it just two seats back from the emergy doors.

I would prefer the back, but it seems like where the driver was is safe as well, since he survived.Belly35;1478513 wrote:Question:

Generally speaking, where you sit is relative to the type of accident that may occur. If the train is traveling on a bridge and the bridge collapses, it doesn't really matter where you're sitting.Belly35;1478513 wrote:Question:
