Train crash in Angrois leaves 79 dead and 140 injured people

The worst train accident in the last 40 years history of Spain left 79 dead and 140 injured people. The train derailed in the curve of Angrois, due to excessive speed - it had a limit of 80kmph and the engineer was driving at 200kmph. A human mistake of the engineer seems to be the cause of this terrible accident. Neighbours of Angrois went immediately to help people to leave the train, cover the injured with blankets from their houses, and are considered the heros of this black day. We can see the engine driver, who has been accused for the dead and injured people and will be jailed for 4 years. Although the security measures of the rails were not as good as supposed, he has been the only responsible for the accident.
