Omigod, if it was caught on film, it must have actually happened! That's so much more important than other things that did happen but weren't caught on film. Good lord, we'd have to actually READ about those things. What a nuisance that is!

One of the drivers of a train which derailed in north-western Spain killing at least 80 passengers has been put under formal investigation, court officials have said.
Security camera footage showed the Madrid to Ferrol train hurtling around a bend before flipping on to its side.
More than 160 people were hurt, at least 30 seriously, in the incident near Santiago de Compostela.
Spain will hold three days of mourning over the crash, one of its worst.
The black box of the train is now with the judge in charge of the investigation.

Dedovix: My condolences I had no idea that trains in Europe can go that fast
It was a high speed train, "Alvia" type. 220 Km/h is its maximum speed, but the driver confessed that the train was doing 190 Km/h when 80 Km/h was the top speed allowed.

not to take attention away from this tragedy, but why would they make a train capable of that speeds, when its only allowed a certain speed? just out of curiosity
