An Israeli Railways train struck a small bus at a grade crossing in Southern Israel. All victims were in the bus. The bus ignored barriers and was demolished.

GOOD GRIEF!  What a shame ( among the dead, a pregnant woman, and two children).  Seems at times that the US has a corner on stupidity.  This seems to prove otherwise.  Isn't HSR a relatively new addition to the transportation net in Israel?
