this terrible train accident in Spain
#1
Driver has been arrested for crimes related to the crash, which so far has 78 fatalities. He may have been going double the speed limit. Saw an interview with an American teen who survived the crash and is feeling lucky to be alive.

I didn't realize it was possible for operators of these things to make decisions like this - IOW - don't they have all sorts of alarms bells or controls or computer-guided systems that would prohibit this type of deadly recklessness?? Or can they really chose a speed in any circumstance? I guess they can.
