“Technical error” laconic, “business as usual” and, by media…, excused – simply an “accident”…, like costly, fatal, etc., derailings, which are “caused” by broken rails, etc., etc…. This is not sustainable! Industry needs quality programs, worthy 2022!
Why did “accident” happen and how will it, duly be attended? Railway, the safest on shore transport device, now deserves better!
