Metro, collision between two trains: 21 injured
21 people rescued
“rescued all 21 people , no patient in critical condition: it is code yellow and green. The most serious injuries are fractures of the pelvis and collarbone. The others will be visited, however, to the hospital. The injured were distributed in the emergency room of the whole city: St. John, St. Eugene, San Camillo, Fatebenefratelli Isola Tiberina, Casilino, Tor Vergata, Aurelia hospital, “says Domenico Antonio Ientile, medical director of the Ares 118.
Improta: “A human error: l ‘impact at 30 km per hour, “
” Now they must understand the dynamics, certainly it is bizarre. These are two convoys, one older who buffered the last generation, who were traveling in the same direction. The clash occurred at a low speed, about 30 km per hour, but these data will be established. Surely there was a human error. Probably the train that followed did not comply with the warning lights, “says the Transport Department in Rome, Guido Improta. “The task now is firm and the magistrate will decide when to reopen. The times of distress? It is to walk 150-200 meters in the gallery, it was timely in relation to the place of action, “added after the inspection. “I turn 12 are wounded, but none are in code red. For the 118 are 21 people rescued? In these situations there are also the wounded “tactical” “he said.
The replica of the unions “Poor security” “We learn from the press that the Atac and the commissioner Improta identify with astonishing rapidity in workers the responsibility of tamponade occurred today between two metro trains B, being due to a” human error “even before verified and carefully assessed the dynamics of ‘accident’. Thus, in a note, Alessandro Capitani, general secretary of Filt Cgil of Rome and Lazio. “That’s what we find” bizarre “, paraphrasing the commissioner – continued -. In our country, until proven otherwise, every guilt must be proved objectively. We are close to travelers and workers were involved in the incident, confident that it will shed light on what happened. ” And worse by the national secretary of UGL Autoferrotranvieri, Fabio Milloch: “It ‘a shame that the commissioner Improta disrespect to workers and citizens talking about” human error “and” tactical wounded “in the absence of evidence and technical expertise: we would like to remember who is he, the mayor Marino, the head of transport security in the capital and one of the recipients of two letters sent on 23 January and 20 May, in which the UGL Autoferrotranvieri reported to the competent bodies of unsafe conditions Metro B, also comes in where the incident occurred today. ” He adds the UGL “If Improta not want to understand that it is up to him, to the position he held, to account for the safety of workers and citizens, and not vice versa, we ask for his resignation. Meanwhile, if you like clarification on the serious problems that affect the security on the metro B, we could repeat to him in detail the information that already we sent in letters, the first to the attention of the former Minister Lupi and the second to Graziano Delrio. We have referred to the “serious situation” that affects the state of “instability armament”, signaling the “precariousness of the infrastructure of the trail,” which “seems to extend to seeing a dangerous and progressive collapse”, and asking to “return the ‘essential security both users both workers “. We wonder why our appeals have not been heard, and we call on those who offend so unheard of workers and citizens an examination of conscience about what he did for the safety of the metro B “.
Commission of Inquiry
incident is an ongoing investigation committee of Atac and also the Ministry of Transport. But the Rome prosecutors opened an investigation file on the accident. The magistrate on duty Pierluigi Onion, visited this morning the station Eur-Palasport to make a first inspection. In the prosecution, as is normal, you will wait for the report of the fire department to reconstruct the dynamics of the facts and determine the cause of the fight between trains.
The curtain
According to preliminary reports, the two media have buffered 25 meters from the station platform Eur Palasport. The first convoy departed, but because of the traffic had to stop shortly after. The second was a signal “red permissive” (which means that you can proceed, but at a reduced speed of 15km per hour) and collided with the train ahead of him. A fireman, after declining in the gallery, reported that “there were scenes of panic details” and added that most of the passengers went off “on their own feet.” “Speed does not know it but were not strong,” concluded the firefighter. The bus is now closed. Blocked traffic between Magliana and Laurentina, to allow all the necessary investigations.
The wife of a wounded ” I prefer to use the machine ‘
“We are angry, public transport are indecent. This is why I prefer to take the car. ” These are the words of the wife of one of the people injured in the accident. The girl, accompanied by the father, has recovered personal belongings of her husband inside the train crashed. “It’s incredible that in Italy every day there is one – said the father of one of the injured boys – is not possible. My son was going to work like every morning, and now finds himself the broken shoulder because of others. ” “My son told me that he had noticed that the trains were approaching too – reveals the boy’s father – but when he heard the roar was too late, many have fallen to the ground. Now he is in hospital, still scared by what happened. “
” A nightmare scene “
Passengers on trains called the police telling that he heard a bang, then the news confirmed by Atac. “It was a nightmare scene, as those who think only happen in the movies, could be a massacre. You can not risk your life so just to go to work. ” So says Francis, a passenger in one of the two trains that collided near Eur Palasport stop.
Traffic blocked and bus SUBSTITUTE
” The service of the metro B is interrupted in the stretch Magliana Eur-Laurentina because of a slight collision between trains – writes in a Atac Note – The company immediately sent technicians on site and alerted firefighters and 118. In the meantime the company has set up a replacement bus service that serves the stretch interrupted. The accident, the cause of which is yet to be ascertained, occurred in the tunnel at the entrance to Eur Palasport “. Some passengers even before the incident this morning the meter B1 was hit and miss, with stops also 6 minutes at each station.
The exposed Codacons
“A very serious incident which has lead to investigate the safety of public transport in the capital.” He says the Codacons, announcing a complaint in the Prosecutor “attempt against the security of transport.” “We want them to ascertain the causes of the serious incident and verify the security systems of the line metropolitana- explains Carlo Rienzi, president of Codacons- We also want to know if the metro lines in the capital there are emergency measures that can prevent collisions and accidents also in case of human error, and whether there has been compliance with all safety protocols. “
