There is CCTV footage on You tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUuinz3koDw
the reports are that the train was travelling faster than the 80kmph speed limit It's a real surprise that anyone was still alive after the crash lots of prayers and healing needed and being sent

The Driver survived and walked away from the wreck
The Press are at present condemning him openly as he APPARENTLY is a speed freak posting speedo pics whilst driving on Facebook and of course that radio message he sent just before the crash whatever next ?

I have heard the the way the coaches are constructed added to the problem, apparently they share a bogie! Could this be an added problem? Whatever it was a very sad day for the people and families caught up in this tragedy!
