WOW- This is Frightening! Tram derailment caught on camera!

I would wonder if there was some form of mechanical failure - the motor car and the lead truck of the trailer made it through the switch, then the second truck derailed. Then again, the trailer would be lighter and therefore more at risk from g-force induced derailments. <br /> <br />Regarding the Russian one, it looks like the same problem we get on motorways here - people driving too fast and too close together. Add in the fact that Russia has been flooded with new and powerful cars since the end of communism (which many people lack the experience to handle) and you have an instant accident blackspot. Many of the accidents were simply caused by braking too hard and too late in that clip. <br /> <br />That said, I have no idea how you get a bendy-bus that "sideways". Impressively the driver managed to get it back (with a bit of help from the wall)!
