We had something similar happen over here a little while back - someone decided to commit suicide by parking his car across a main line used by HST sets running at around 100MPH. Result was he killed not only himself but also several train passengers and crew, destroyed a lot of stock and put a busy route out of action for weeks while repairs were made. I lean towards view of how selfish can one person be? To kill themselves is one thing, but to take a bunch of innocent bystanders with them is beyond outrageous - can't in fact think of words to describe this that would be appropriate to the audience here! <br /> <br />I've not seen pictures of the LA crash yet, but it sounds like the locos and cars held up pretty well - I heard 9 people killed and 200 injured from BBC news, it could have been a lot worse given how heavily-used these trains are. If anything this should show how rail is a safe means of transport due to the strength of the vehicles used. Just my thoughts!
