This is seriously a tradegy. My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by it. My only question is, why in the world would two trains be on the same track??? I know whoever is responsible for it should really have a guilty conscious because they caused 17 people to lose their lives.
CAN WE GET ANYTHING RIGHT THESE DAYS! senseless
You’re telling me that in this world they can clone animals, have mini-computers, go to the moon and have cameras in the human body but someone can’t figure out that 2 trains are on the same track heading into each other. God help us all!
