guyz plz dont start this Vs thing atleast in who has more rail accidents........have some conscience........

Ii agree. In the past month ive seen some snidey and under the belt blows by all but Tiky tam tam has reached an all time low. Attempting to score some points when tragedy occurs is uncalled for and is not welcomed by anyone on PDF. So keep it that way please. Unless you have a genuine comment etc then please refrain from using this site TACKY Tiky tamtam.
I pray for those who have passed away and who they leave behind.
(suggestion - apologise mr Tiky)

This tragedy was cased by thunder lighting, rip to the dead

 

[luckyyy]

the accedient is not a derailment but a collision , a train lost drive and then hit on rear-end by another train ..

derailment happens when their is structural fault on the track or a subotage ..

collisions are more of a failure of internal electronic saftly messurues...

Very tragic, more reason China must get rid of these crap Canadian and Japanese trains. The train that broke down due to lightning is from Bombardier (CRH1). The train that collided into it is Japanese (CRH2).

Also these aren't true High Speed Rail, they were running at less than 200Kmph on regular tracks. China must upgrade these slow, old and dangerous Japanese tech.

i disagree with this part
the Japanese have been operating HSR for almost half a century in their own country and is the safest in the world, To date they have not had ONE fatality

may they rest in peace.

The two crashed trains are both foreign company made: one by Bombardier of Canada, the other by Kawasaki of Japan.

More details out: CRH1 stopped due to a lightening hit, and D3115 hit from behind! D301 (Model CRH1) was made by Bombardier, D3115 (model CRH2) was made by Kawasaki of Japan. The Chinese self made version of HSR is actually model CRH380.
