You raise good points but I wasn't talking about the bumping block at all, just the railcar. You may want to thoroughly read a post before dismissing it with statements like:Absolutely not. How can you possibly make that argument when we've just seen a train depart the track area resulting in a fatality? Regardless of why the train did not stop, it cannot be debated that the bumping block was inadequate to the task of protecting the structure from the train. The car struck and travelled past past the bumping block before striking the structure. Wasn't talking about the bumping block. You suspect wrongly. At most terminal stations in Europe the bumping blocks are equipped to dissipate energy when they're struck by a train. Again wasn't talking about a bumping block, I was talking about a euro specced car with the exact bumping block that was there. It would have shredded the car killing half the people in it while saving the one passenger on the platform - bad trade. |
