you keep digging through the sheet metal and the remains of two of the Ferrovie Nord trains to Bari on July 12, at 11.30 am, clashed on the single-track stretch between Corato and Andria. The death toll, still provisional as they repeat the authorities, is 27 missing (23 bodies recovered) and 50 injured, ten seriously ill. It will work to the bitter end – they know the authorities – not least because in the absence of a passenger list, just continuing with the inspection of the wreckage of the two trains will determine the final number of victims. “From the locomotive movement emerged other human remains. Our hope is that you compose with 23 bodies already recovered, “explains Clara Minerva, prefect of the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani after the Fire Service and Civil Defence have removed the locomotive.
the search went on for the whole night. Fifty firefighters, along with the other rescuers, have continued to cut and move the plates of the two convoys looking for any additional bodies: a job, said the commander of the brigade in Bari Curzio fire, still long: “We are gradually demolishing the pieces of the crashed cars, then we will proceed to the removal of the remains. We will work in this manner, also with the help of dogs, until we can not exclude the presence of other people. ” The official death toll is about 27 missing but, as explained by Prof. Franco Introna, head of Legal Medicine of the Policlinico Bare – We are 23 victims, 22 bodies are already here and another will come in from Andria ‘day. Among the missing, there can be foreign. “There were foreigners among the missing. We have requests for the French Embassy news – says the mayor of Corato, Massimo Mazzilli – Here is ongoing recovery of the remains, and we hope with all my heart that they are not excessive in relation to the number of missing. “ In morning at the Policlinico di Bari has started the work for the recognition of remains: a very complex operation given the conditions of many of the bodies recovered. Relatives of the victims begin to arrive at the hospital where they are greeted by psychologists and Red Cross nurses. “Please, let us in, let us see our loved ones,” someone yells. “There are many young people among the victims – told reporters Maria Storelli of the group mobilized psychologists to support the family – we try to put ourselves into the mood of these people who are still trying to figure out if their loved ones are dead. Then you have to be ready when their faint hopes will impact, let’s hope not, with the moment of recognition. But let me say the least, for us it’s not easy. ” Meanwhile, the Railway Police of Bari has extracted intact train black box from Bari Andria involved in the massacre. The subject is considered by investigators of primary importance for the development of the investigation. From the black box, it will be possible to determine the speed at which the train was going and reconstruct all movements before the tragic impact. It seems, however, it was destroyed the black box of the convoy from Barletta of which – we learn from Polfer – only a few shreds were found. The Railway Police has already seized on Tuesday in Andria and Corato stations documentation that can be useful to see if indeed there was an error in the starting signal from one of the stations concerned. The prosecutor in Trani investigates for multiple manslaughter and train wreck and has set up a pool of magistrates for investigation. At the time the file was opened against persons unknown. The prevailing hypothesis of Trani prosecution – which assesses still all assumptions, including that of the fault – is that of a human error. Emerge even more details about the incident. According to reports there were two trains of the Ferrovie Nord Barese from Corato and headed north, and one of these convoys travel with a few minutes late: this circumstance may have prompted the station master of Andria to give the green light to standstill in the station. The convoy, about ten minutes after departure from Andria, collided with the train coming from Corato. shadow carousel The investigation by the Prosecutor Trani on the rail disaster will determine not only who was wrong, but if those who did wrong was mistaken in its own or if it has been misled by others. It will then have to verify the adequacy of the control system with respect to the rules in force, and the times and the doubling of the modernization of the traffic control system. The project to double the railway line Bari-Barletta, run by Ferrotramviaria, was expected since 2008 and was to expire by 2015, but so far has not been fully realized. “The single track in itself is not a source of discomfort and potential disaster, the point are the controls,” says the Deputy Minister of Transport, Riccardo Nencini, who also announced the opening of an investigation by the ministry in an interview in Studio 24 aired on Rainews24. “There was the old telephone control system,” says Nencini, and “the lack of automation was probably one of the causes of a disastrous tragedy.” Nencini note that there are 9000 km single-track managed by Ferrovie dello Stato, suddenly, “which runs from North to South” and is “very safe” because it has been automated. the incident occurred Tuesday morning just after 11, at kilometer 51 of the line operated by the private company Ferrotramviaria. One of the two trains had departed from Corato directed to Andria and the other, on the contrary, came from Andria and went in the direction of Corato. On board there are usually, in addition to commuters and students, many passengers who have to reach the airport of Bari Palese. The impact between the trains, which were traveling at a speed of 100-110 km per hour, is violent. The wagons are literally crumbled, pieces of sheet metal flying tens of meters between the olive trees of the Apulian countryside, the sides of the tracks. One of the trains had only two carriages remained almost intact; the other only the last, or tail. shadow carousel
