Sadly, we come to the realization many times where anything made by man can have faults and when traveling on any form of transportation, people tend to roll the dice with their lives. Most of the time there is nothing to worry about but this time, a tragic ending occurred for an Argentina commuter train on Wednesday February 22nd 2012.
A scary situation for those who lived it and what is even scarier is that out of the eight hundred or so passengers on the train, 600 were injured and 49 were killed. Confirmed right at this moment as of Wednesday afternoon. The speed was only 16 Miles Per Hour, but when crashing, even a slight speed can be something that can lead to fatal consequences.
Whether or not this will lead to reforms remains to be seen. There have been multiple accidents and many delays in the same area as the company running the rail system has run by incompetently. It sometimes takes a tragic event to open the eyes to what is going on but it remains to be seen whether any lessons will be learned from this disaster.
