Fast forward to 0:15.

That train thing was seconds away from mutilating those rescue workers. Also notice the passenger train torn in half with the rest of it down the ravine.

Jesus christ I'm never getting on a high-speed train EVER.

Holy stuff what is this oh my goodness that ~~train~~ service vehicle was loving scary looking.

I'm fairly certain it wasn't supposed to be at nearly that high of speed..

6/156 passengers died? Wow, trains sure are unsafe. I'm going to stick to cars!

Cars are worse. (And I know you're joking.)

I try to bike everywhere or just walk.

I'm never going on a high-speed train in croatia again. German ICEs are fine though.
Sounds bad though. How many 100% confirmed deaths?
