Grave accedent —a disaster caused by nature or human beings?
On July,23th,an grave accident happened at 8pm in Wenzhou,Zhejiang province that one bullet train smashed into a stalled train causing a disatrous collision and subsequent derailment of the later train,which causing confirmed 35deaths and more than 200 injuries.
What a harrowing disaster!From that moment on,dozens of families lost their beloved ones forever,leaving them heartbroken ,sadness haunting them from time to time.In this tragedy,a little girl lost her parents at that unexpected moment.She herself also need an amputatiion.Maybe they were taking a holiday ,maybe going back home,but everything changed once they boarded on the train that boasts high-tech、high speed and comfort.......
One thing must be figured out clearly: What on earth caused this disater,nature or huaman being's fault?
It's reported that the accident occurred on a bridge near the city of Wenzhou after the first train lost power due to a lighting strike.A total power failure rendered useless an electronic safety system designed to warn following trains of the stalled trains on the tracks up ahead and automotically halt them before and collision can occur.Tragically another bullet train following behind crushed into it.
It is the offical explanation,which are not convictive at all. Is it really mere a nature caused disaster?No humam induced elements?A lighting can cause a whole train system blind and deaf for more than １０ minutes? And why did the D3115 crused D301,which was expected to arrive ahead ofD301?Here is a link of question from angry people. http://blog.renren.com/share/267506232/7771215969 http://share.renren.com/share/267506232/7771327506
A lot of questions need an appropriate anwswer. The dense fog need to be lifted.
High-tech always come along with high risk.Satey should never be considerred secondary to safety of life.

- Agree with u,so many people are questioning the truth of the accident.For it's not reported at the very first time.But only can we do is to feel sorry for the dead and pray for the alive.Since then I do believe the security issues must be highly focused.
