In Florence, the train went off the rails, a worker died

A train went off the rails at Santa Maria Novella station in Florence (Firenze) last night, resulting in the death of a 34-year-old worker, Fabrizio Fabbri.

The incident occurred after midnight when Fabrizio and his colleagues, who, incidentally, claim to be a first-rate specialist, connected the wagons to the train. In order to extract the body of the deceased worker from under the car, the intervention of the local Ministry of Emergencies was required. It is not yet known exactly what could have caused the tragic incident. An investigation is already underway in this case. The worker of the Italian railway left a wife and a small child, reports Corriere della Sera.

This is not the first tragic incident that occurred in Italy. So, in 2013, two wagons of a train bound for Perugia went off the rails as a result of a landslide that blocked the exit from one of the tunnels on the section of the Montecastelli railway line. Then both cars were tilted by 70 degrees. More than 20 people were injured, 5 of them who received serious injuries were urgently hospitalized. Medical assistance was immediately provided to all the victims, due to which there were no casualties.

In the fall of 2012, another incident related to the country's railway occurred in Italy. Then the accident occurred in southern Italy, in the region of Calambria.

A moving train crashed into a minibus, which stood right on the railway, waiting for the passage to open

. All passengers who were in the car died on the spot from a severe blow. Among them was a local landowner and Romanian flower pickers. Passengers of the train were not injured: 12 people who were traveling in a small train connecting neighboring regions were in a state of shock, but they did not receive any injuries.

One of the largest train wrecks occurred in Spain last summer, when a train of high-speed trains went off the rails shortly before arriving at the station of the Galicia administrative center.

As a result of the accident, all the wagons of the train turned over, and in one of them a fire broke out. As reported by the media, at the time of the collapse of the composition there were 222 people, 80 of whom died and 140 were injured. Shortly after the accident, an investigation into the causes of the railway accident began. For this, some parts of the composition were sent for examination. As a result, it was discovered that the entire train was in excellent condition. Moreover, he underwent a technical inspection right before heading to Galicia.

Investigators found that the cause of the terrible tragedy was an almost twofold exaggeration of the speed at one of the sharp corners of the railway track.

The driver dispersed the train to 200 km / h instead of the set 80 km / h. Francisco José Garzón Amo, who exceeded the speed of the lineup entrusted to him, had already practiced this in the indicated area already, which is confirmed by numerous photos on his accounts on social networks. The driver admitted that at the time of the crash the train speed was 190 km / h, which is confirmed by the records of the flight recorder.
