At Least 15 Dead in Poland Train Collision

By The Associated Press, The NY Times, March 3, 2012


On Saturday in Poland two trains collided which killed 15 people and injured around 50. Locals say that it was one of the worst train disasters in history, for the area. The trains collided because they were both on the same track. One was heading from Warsaw to Krakow and the other from Przemysl to Warsaw. Maintenance is not exactly sure how the train going to Krakow ended up on the same track. Pictures of the trains are all over the Polish television channels.
This is very newsworthy because the fact that two trains ended up on the same track is ridiculous. Maintenance needs to figure this out right away, so that this will never happen again. Lives were lost over a major mistake in the system.
