Argentine train crashes into Buenos Aires Once station

A commuter train in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, has crashed at the end of the line, leaving at least 80 people injured.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-24595870

The train failed to stop as it arrived at Once station, crashing through the buffers and ending up wedged between the floor and ceiling of the platform.
The accident happened at the same station where 51 people were killed in a similar crash last year.

According to the BBC, throughout the journey the driver was ringing control complaining about the train brakes.
In the uk the slighteset suggestion the brakes are faulty the train would be out of service.
