Chronicle of the 22 blind minutes that led to the tragedy of Urda: "Any day there will be another accident"

On October 28, a tragic collision occurred between an AVE train and an Iryo train near Urda, resulting in 69 fatalities. The incident was preceded by a failure in the LZB system, which caused both trains to stop. Despite the situation, the AVE was instructed to resume normal speed without proper safety measures. The Iryo was stationary at a signal, but the AVE was allowed to proceed without adequate precautions, leading to the collision. Investigations are ongoing to determine the failures in safety protocols and decision-making during the incident.
