A human error at 8:36: the chain of failures and decisions with which the Government explains the new tragedy on the Madrid-Seville line
A human error is identified as the cause of a deadly collision between two trains on the Madrid-Sevilla line, resulting in at least 68 fatalities. The incident occurred after a failure in the LZB safety system, which affected six trains. Despite warnings from the Iryo train's driver about being stopped, the AVE train was allowed to proceed at full speed. Investigations are ongoing, with audio communications and black boxes expected to provide crucial insights. This tragedy echoes a previous accident in January that claimed 46 lives, raising concerns about safety in the Toledo region, which has seen multiple incidents recently.
