The Angrois train driver to the Atocha operator: "Isolate yourself from the TV and the press: they can do you a lot of harm"

Francisco José Garzón, the train driver involved in the 2013 Angrois derailment, reflects on the tragedy and the blame culture surrounding it. He emphasizes the need for learning from past accidents rather than assigning blame, which he believes leads to repeated tragedies. Garzón, who has faced legal consequences and public scrutiny, highlights the lack of safety measures that could have prevented the disaster. He criticizes the media's portrayal of him and the systemic issues within the railway safety protocols. Jesús Domínguez, a victim of the accident, echoes Garzón's sentiments, stressing the importance of addressing safety deficiencies rather than focusing on blame. Both advocate for a more supportive environment for those affected by such tragedies.
