    This but should trains really be crashing at all? The fact that it’s so frequent is a problem in if itself. I mean I get it shit happens but I mean c’mon.

      No they should absolutely not.
      The really disturbing thing is that they’re not simply crashing, but because the infrastructure is so dilapidated, they’re literally just falling off the tracks.

      And that is not something you fix in a week.
