00:18The tragedy was shocking.
00:19This is the second major high-speed rail accident in Spain this year with serious casualties.
00:24According to the official preliminary investigation
00:26This may involve human factors.

01:00To facilitate rescue work
01:02Two high-speed trains carrying a total of 540 passengers
01:05How could they have rear-ended each other on the same track?
01:08The Spanish Minister of Transport pointed out to the media
01:10Due to the events before
01:12The railway safety system has malfunctioned.
01:14However, the Spanish train control center issued a warning.
01:17It described the opening order as incomprehensible.
01:21This led to the train collision.
01:23He emphasized that the accident was unrelated to the train driver.
01:27Spain is one of the countries with the most advanced high-speed rail development in the world.
01:31This is already on the same high-speed rail line in Spain.
01:35This is the second major collision this year.

01:49It even became the worst railway tragedy in Europe since 2013.
01:53Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez expressed his deep sorrow
01:56It is unacceptable for two railway disasters to occur within a year.
02:00The government announced three days of national mourning starting today.
02:04From equipment malfunction to erroneous instructions from the control center
02:07An accident that seemed to happen by chance
02:09Ultimately, this led to a tragic railway accident.
02:12Now we await further explanation from the Spanish authorities.
