Subject: RE: Cumbria (UK) rail crash
It is a miracle that more people were not killed by this high speed accident. Whatever the cause may turn out to be let us be thankful that the modern technology and construction methods used in the train proved their worth. NOT ONE TRAIN WINDOW WAS BROKEN.How many cars, buses, or airplanes would crash at 95mph withouit breaking a window.

Accidents happen and always will.Things can break just hours after being checked,even if the check has been done properly.

Let us leave the investigators to do their job and supply their findings and suggestions for the future and just be thankful that it was no worse.
