High-speed train crash in Spain kills 68, minister reveals cause

At least 68 people were killed on Wednesday morning in a high-speed train collision along the railway linking Madrid and Andalusia, Spanish media reported. Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente confirmed that a computer safety system breakdown halted all trains along a 63-kilometer section at around 8:30 a.m. Minutes later, railway control center staff mistakenly authorized a high-speed train to override a red signal. The train traveled nearly 25 kilometers before slamming into the rear of a stopped train ahead, sending two carriages plunging down an embankment. The national infrastructure agency has suspended all rail services on the line, while Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced three days of national mourning and pledged a thorough investigation into the tragedy. #worldnow 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
