[edit] Relevance

I don't quite understand why the writer has focussed on the distance between the two tracks as being the cause of the accident. The derailment of the other train was the cause of the accident, not the distance between the tracks. A derailed train can go almost anywhere, depending on the nature of the derailment and the speed of the train. I would imagine the Japanese Railway Accident Investigation Department, or whatever it's called, would have a different view of the accident to the writer's.
