🚨 Breaking: This past Sunday at around 7:45 p.m., two high-speed trains collided near Cordoba in southern Spain, leaving at least 39 people dead and 170 injured, according to Spanish media. 😢
The crash happened when the Malaga-Madrid train, carrying 317 passengers, derailed near Amaduz, about 20 km from Cordoba. It then struck another AVE train heading from Madrid to Huelva, causing both to derail.
Emergency teams rushed in to help, offering medical aid and securing the area. Spanish authorities are investigating the cause, while rescue crews continue searching for survivors and supporting the injured. 🚑
High-speed rail, whether it's Europe's AVE, Japan's Shinkansen, or India's upcoming Mumbai–Ahmedabad bullet train, relies on strict safety checks and real-time monitoring. This tragedy underscores why advanced tech and regular maintenance are crucial. 🔍
Our thoughts are with everyone affected in Spain. Let's hope for swift recovery and stronger safety measures worldwide. ✨
