Tragic news from Spain: earlier today near Córdoba in southern Spain, two 🚆 high-speed trains derailed after one carrying 317 passengers collided with another traveling in the opposite direction. Officials confirm over 20 fatalities, dozens critically injured, and around 100 minor injuries.
Emergency crews were quick to respond, working around the clock to rescue survivors and secure the site. The cause of the derailment is still under investigation as families await updates.
High-speed rail is transforming travel—from Japan’s Shinkansen and India’s Vande Bharat Express to expanding networks across Southeast Asia. This accident is a stark reminder of the importance of rail safety, strict maintenance, and rapid emergency planning.
