Landslide derails train in Italy leaving nine dead

Own choice

A landslide has derailed a train in north-eastern Italy, killing at least nine people and injuring about 30. The accident occurred in a mountain valley near the winter sports town of Merano, close to the Austrian border. Trees prevented the train plunging into a river. Officials say the landslide may have been caused by a leaking water pipe further up the hillside. The authorities say the mass of water, mud and rock came without warning, burying the regional train as it passed through the alpine valley. Nine people were killed. The train driver is understood to be among the dead. The most seriously injured have been taken by helicopter to nearby hospitals.

My opinion

I think it's really something that has happened. There was no report received. It is really that there are 9 deaths. I am glad that the train fell into the river and that it was stopped by a few trees. On the internet there is a site where you can watch a movie about the train. You see on the movie the train completely in ruins around it all light and light mud. I hope that more deaths will not fall because there were also many wounded. I hope this does not happen again.
