  Yes Andy and what happened brings back memories of what happened in Viareggio a few years ago, in this case for gross negligence of the railways.

  From what I've read, in this case, it is likely human error: the curve is where the train was derailed traveled at 80km/h when it has been covered to 190km/h, damn. The concept of High Speed ​​relates poorly with that of security, influenced by technical faults and lack of human attention.

  Real sead, too many deaths.

  Very sad, i live in the south of France, and was planning to walk there later this year, there is a ,'pilgrim walk'  the way of St James, across the Pyranees mountains, starting at St Jean and passing through Pamplona and other places on route along the north of the country, finishing at Santiago de Compostela, at the cathedral 800km or finishing at Finnistere on the Atlantic coast. This walk is completed by hundreds of people every year

  A sad time for the country, my thoughts!!
