  • i was 9 years old when it happened and today it is exactly 10 years ago.. i still knew the horror of this crash as if it was yesterday

    my family and me watched the whole night television to get news from eschede, to know if there's someone still alive, to know the horror of it all

    it was horrible

  • That's wrong!

    A steel tire got caught in a turning point. It got totally stuck. The steel is fitted round a full metal wheel in order to improve the drive - less bumpy.

  • Fue horroroso lo que ocurrio en ese pueblecito de alemania. Se ve que el tren comenzo a descarrilar 100 metros atras debido a una averia en uno de los cambios de agujas, lo que provoco la catastrofe.El tren, choco contra un puente produciendo fallecidos incluso en este.Este accidente conmociono a europa.

  • Someone told me of a case where GM and Ford bought a profitable railway, dismantled it and sold it to Mexico. The train line between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. You can still see the track where the rails where along the river there. So, yeah, I guess the car companies did not just provide the better product ...

  • Hmm, interesting, I've only heard about the per traveled kilometers comparison. Thanks for the info.  I always thought that the U.S. built extensive highways instead of passenger rails because of the powerful automobile industry that bought out most of the private lines. A better passenger rail network could really benefit the congested coastlines.

  • Actually whether planes are safer than trains depends on how you do the statistics: Crashes per traveled kilometer - plane wins. Crashes per traveled hour - train wins. Cars of course loose badly any way you look at it.

  • It was horrible a tire broke and the ICE1 884 crashed into the brigde of Eschede
