  Thoughts and hopes for those affected by the high-speed rail tragedy in # Spain . Such crashes are rare—passenger rail is an incredibly safe form of transport—but that doesn't diminish how traumatising they are when they do occur. https://www. theguardian.com/world/live/202 6/oct/28/spain-train-crash-toledo-europe-latest-news-updates

  How do you even speak to the ineffable idea of 'incompetence'? How do you remediate it? More draconian, individualized worker surveillance?This feeds into the idea that the problem with safety these days are lazy workers, not the fact that companies are increasingly extending work hours beyond what's reasonable, firing keystone employees and…

  Absolutely. I get that for northamericans everything people don't like gets called socialism so it becomes a strawman argument, but in this case, the party is literally called "spanish socialist worker's party", their members are called socialists, and their whole campain is based on "making socialist changes". People get angry because they don't…

  A rail collision in Spain that claimed at least 68 lives on Wednesday came after a train was ordered to go in "error" despite a technical failure that halted all services, the transport minister said. The first findings about the accident in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha are likely to revive questions about rail safety in Spain after…

  I think Spain needs a complete mindset change, to fully come to the 21st century. While there are truly many people who "take their job" seriously, the overall "world of work", and professional standards are very, very low in Spain. Yes, it's a generalization, but anyone living in Spain will tell and complain about bad company practices, no or…

  RENFE is beyond shit. Lol. What do you know about Renfe? I don't think you've ever even seen a train. This was a major tragedy and the whole safety system should be revisited. But you acting like you're some sort of expert on the Spanish high speed train system is embarrassing.

  A high-speed train collision south of Madrid killed 68 people and injured scores more on Wednesday, with the toll likely to rise. The second such accident to strike Spain this year will raise fresh questions about the country's rail safety, with the transport minister speaking of an "error" and "inexplicable circumstances" that led to the…

  lol you're downvoted but yes we should actually call the chinese. they do have the best track record given how much milage they have ran up in total. of course, japan has a "perfect" record of no accident but they have way less total milage driven compared to china.

  All three of those took place in Spain. As the meme goes, "no, you can't say that the average person in Normandy has 5 files of farting porn in their computer. Jean who has millions of them is an statistical outlier and isn't representative of Normandy as a whole".

  "Puente said that at 8:30 a.m. the security system on a stretch of 63 kilometers (39 miles) stopped working due to a computer malfunction, causing all trains on that stretch to stop. But the central command told the RENFE train to start running again without any speed restrictions, and it ended up colliding with the stopped IRYO train at 8:53…

  Some days ago I actually traveled on these high speed trains to Madrid (the same route Madrid - Seville). I paid extra to be able to select a middle car seat because of similar disaster that happened in Spain only in January this year:
