What caused the accident? The step-by-step sequence of a chain of failures that the system did not stop
The available information points to something more than human errors: nothing prevented them from being fatal.
At least 69 people have died and over 200 been injured in a train accident in Urda, according to AITAT, the independent transport accident investigation authority. The accident involved a Renfe AVE train crashing into a stationary Iryo train. The investigation used various data sources, including Renfe's geolocation data and images of the trains, to piece together the events leading up to the crash.
The positions of the trains and signals were determined using data from Adif, the ministry, and AITAT, as well as publicly available images and audio recordings.
