Where are the IW Sydneysiders? More were killed in the train derailment than the shuttle crash! What's going on?
Leonis? Mario? |

Fortunately, (relatively anyway), the number killed was 8, rather than 9. As far as I've heard, the cause is still unclear. The black box recorder wasn't operational at the time, and as the driver was one of those killed it's more difficult for investigators. Some of the survivors said they thought the train was going faster than usual just before the crash.
Terrible

And Europe, and Asia...you get the drift...
Eight killed? That's still horrid, but better than nine. Jesus, I hope they discover what was wrong and don't make the same mistake again!
