[edit] cleanup-date|November 2006
I marked this article for cleanup because, although I actually think it is in general a very good article, there are a number of places where the language is a little odd, or grammar/punctuation needs attention, etc. I do not feel up to it myself but I am sure a keen/good editor could sort it out pretty rapidly. No insult is intended to the contributors - like I say, it's fundamentally good stuff. 138.37.199.206 11:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Casualties on runaway train?
Were there any casualties on the runaway train or were they all on the stationary train? (To my knowledge they were). Maikel 01:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
-- There were no casualties on the runaway train, all the passengers were lying down on the carriage at the back.
[edit] Number of casualties?
French Wikipedia cites "59 morts et 57 blessés" whereas this article "56" killed. Maikel 08:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- The Time Magazine article cites "56 dead and 13 seriously injured". Maikel 08:14, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Did the driver survive or not?
At the start of the article it says that the driver of the runaway train was killed in the collision. At the end of the article, it says "the driver" (presumably of the runaway train, it makes no sense for it to be the driver of the stationary train) served six months in prison for the crash. Which is true? 134.159.167.22 (talk) 05:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- In the Seconds from Disaster documentary about this accident, the driver of the runaway train survived. The driver of the stationary train at the platform died while ordering passengers to evacuate the train. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Argh, not only are you correct, but the article made that clear all along and I missed it. Sorry! 134.159.167.22 (talk) 06:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
