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.
