Any system in the modern day that relies on one person seeing a light or else 68 people die feels like it has some corners cut somewhere.

He says that around 8:30am this morning, the LZB controlling system failed due to communications issues, leaving no coverage for just over 60km of the track, which in turn triggered an automatic stop for six trains on that stretch.

But around 8:36, the Adif control centre issued a manual instruction to override the warning and let the traffic resume.

He heavily suggests that this “inexplicable” decision should not have been made, as trains should have remained under strict orders not to move.

Based on my experience with automated systems that sounds like a situation where the operator has to routinely ignore the red light because it doesn't work correctly.

Yikes someone didn't sleep well that night.

I fucking loathe the Russians and Israelis, but this ain't that.

Another russian-israeli crime?? what in the fuck kind of mental gymnastics is this? You really think the world is black and white, jedi vs sith don't ya huh

and of course you're one of the jedi, right?

Newsflash buttercup, real life ain't so simple as it is in the movies. You're maybe too young to remember that Russia directly supported the anti-Israel Assad regime in Syria, but you should at least be aware of Russia's current deep alliance with Iran.
