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

From information given in the news reports they were doing 190km/h in an 80 zone. The driver is being investigated by the police.

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!
