From wikipedia:Train fire On December 28, 2010, an IC3 train in Israel caught fire due to a technical failure, injuring 121 people.[3] A soldier had to shoot the windows in order to allow the crowd to escape.[4] The cause of the fire was not an electrical short as first suspected but rather a mechanical problem with the cardan joint which is located next to the fuel tank in the train. On December 30, 2010 Israel railways decided on an immediate stoppage of all the IC3s in the fleet, pending further investigation. The ramifications of this decision are the closure of several lines and stations, including Jerusalem and Dimona and several other suburban lines.[5] Service was resumed on all routes after modifications were approved. |
