More than 80 dead as train derails in Spain

Apologies if this is a respost, figured it would have been up yesterday but I guess not.

Heard on the news earlier that the toll is at 81, really just unbelievable, I've heard the entire route it was going along was built for high speed trains, except the part it crashed at, where he was supposed to go at 50 instead of the usual 100, but being 5 minutes behind on time, he kept going at full speed. Certainly a pretty big mistake to make.


As you can see, he definitely wasn't going 50

I'm not sure if he's joking though, because it actually was the drivers fault... either way this is terrible

nope, he's fine. He admitted to driving twice as fast as he was supposed to through that section.
