Last Saturday, July 23, a bullet train in Eastern China lost its power after a lightning hit it and was crashed into a different train. It ended the lives of at least 35 people and some were injured.
The accident made two p(–foul word(s) removed–)enger cars bend off a heighten track in Wenzhou.
There’s a video that was aired by the state television and it was showed there how rescuers saved some bloody p(–foul word(s) removed–)engers from the said accident. And there were six cars that deflected in two rains.
The unexpected and undesirable disaster is the first extensive happening in China’s enormous and instantaneous rail network.
Some officials said that Beijing-Shanghai corridor, the brand-new line in that network was attacked by electrical defects lately because of awful weather.
The chief of the railway ministry was dismissed last February because of a corruption aspersion. It made the (–foul word(s) removed–)urance of the national network questionable and that said issue is the reason that’s considered right now for the broken-down of the construction.
The ministry advised for the top speeds to be modified and to run low for the safety of everyone. But it was uncertain if how fast the train in Wenzhou travels before the incident happened.
