Kaleidoscope 1,068 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 A high-speed TGV train has derailed near the eastern French city of Strasbourg, killing at least 10 people, officials say. The crash happened during a test run in the town of Eckwersheim, on a new Paris-Strasbourg line. The train was carrying 49 people when it derailed, caught fire, and plunged into a canal. The injured were airlifted to hospital. The derailment was due to "excessive speed", officials say. Pictures showed the locomotive partly submerged. Wreckage was also scattered in a field beside the track. Reports say the Paris-Strasbourg high-speed line is scheduled to open next year. Junior transport minister Alain Vidalies and Ecology Minister Segolene Royal will visit the scene, French media reported. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34822666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deâ„“phina 14,904 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Reminds me of that one week in July 2013 a train derailed in Spain, another in France, a bus crashed in Italy and something else. It's horrible when catastrophes decide to all come at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
