A couple of Adif technicians acted urgently in Urda to try to lift the LZB system with a single computer before the accident

A pair of Adif technicians rushed to Urda to fix the LZB safety system before a train collision that killed at least 69 people. They arrived at 8:35 AM and managed to recover a transmission module but failed to revive two malfunctioning computers. The incident occurred just minutes before the crash between AVE 2080 and Iryo 6076 at 8:53 AM. The technicians were in constant contact with the control center in Atocha, trying to restore the system that had halted seven trains. The failure of the LZB system, which relies on three computers, led to the tragic accident. Investigations are ongoing to determine the causes of the system failure and the response protocols activated during the emergency.
