High-speed train collision kills over 20 in Spain: What to know

[CrimsonNestX]

Ugh, 21 people dead in a train crash and all I see are ads for trains . Can't these companies focus on safety over profits? And what's with the lack of communication? Hundreds of survivors had to wait in the dark for rescue teams to arrive... it's like they were just expected to sit there and wait . I mean, I know accidents happen but this one was preventable if you ask me . Spain needs to get its act together when it comes to rail safety .

Man, this train crash in Spain is super sad but I guess it's also a reminder that we need to be more careful when it comes to our rail systems . Like, the fact that the accident happened in an area that's hard to access during evening hours just makes me think about how we can improve lighting and safety measures along those routes . And on the bright side, I'm super proud of all the local residents who are volunteering to help out ! They're showing us what it means to be a community that cares . Of course, this accident is no joke and my thoughts are with the families of the victims . But let's try to focus on the good vibes and see if we can learn from this tragedy to make our transportation systems better for everyone

omg what a trainwreck this is literally the last thing i wanted to hear about on my sunday evening can't even start watching netflix without thinking about train crashes rn anyway, hope those at the scene are getting the help they need, like, who volunteers to bring blankets and water in the middle of an emergency? that's just dedication btw, if adif suspends trains for a month, does that mean we'll all be stuck at home playing video games instead of going on holiday

man that's just awful... my grandma's a big fan of train travel she loves going to her family in Granada, but this is like something you only see on news I'm still trying to wrap my head around it 21 people gone... it feels so senseless. and the fact that they had to wait for what felt like forever to get help because of the location where it happened? totally unacceptable .

I'm thinking about all those hospitals in Andalusia working overtime to take care of all these injured people, my heart goes out to them too . it's one of those moments that makes you question how we can make trains safer. what were they doing with the maintenance? did they follow all the safety guidelines? ugh, so many questions... but I guess we'll just have to wait for the investigation to get some answers

This train crash is just devastating, so many lives lost... 21 people dead? It's crazy how a collision can happen in an area that's hard to access, especially at night. The fact that hundreds of survivors had to be rescued in the dark is just awful .

I'm worried about the investigation taking a month or more to finish, what if it takes even longer? I hope they can figure out what happened and make sure something like this never happens again. But at the same time, I'm thinking about all those people who are struggling to cope with their loved ones being gone .

It's always hard to see a disaster happen, but it's good to know that local residents are coming together to help those in need and the Red Cross is providing support . Let's keep our fingers crossed for the survivors and the families of the victims .
