Spanish crash train was doing twice speed limit
July 4, 2006
MADRID (Reuters) – A Spanish underground train was
traveling at twice the speed limit when it derailed and killed
41 people, a Valencia city official said on Tuesday.
Black box data showed the train was doing 80 km per hour
(48 mph) through a curving tunnel just before entering the
Jesus metro station on Monday, said Valencia’s transport chief
Jose Ramon Garcia.
“Without any doubt, this caused the derailing,” Garcia told
reporters.
