Kids looking for a quick way to the beach, The small station has at least four big signs warning against crossing the tracks. I just hope the RENFE ( Spanish railways) give the train driver all the help and support he needs. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zep 0 #4 June 24, 2010 If the pair of you have some thing to say say it, I can assure you I wont be offended. It's very sad kids lost their lives in an accident that could of easily been avoided. But all to often in these cases the innocent drive is all but forgotten. You think he's just going to return to work as if nothing ever happened?

wmw999 2,589 #5 June 24, 2010 They were just making the link clicky; they posted within a minute of each other so it wasn't a comment on each other. I can't imagine how the driver must feel. I remember reading an article that one wrote once, and it was strong. There's absolutely nothing the driver can do to stop what he can see is going to happen. Overall it's very, very sad.

I've been through that station on the high-speed, watching the video gives me the chills. A very good friend of mine is a retired engineer, he had a couple incidents he was involved in...it never goes away. I can't imagine one on this scale, very tragic. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zep 0 #8 June 24, 2010 Apologies to you and Theonlyski for my reply, I got caught up with the spell checker and didn't realise the clicky didn't work Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #9 June 24, 2010 I've heard that train engineers in the U.S. that it's better than even odds they'll hit a vehicle or person in their careers. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
