Funny thing is, I think we are both saying the same thing, but phrasing it differently. You are saying "We *can* have EU style cars if we change our infrastructure and practices to their style". I am saying "We can't have EU style cars with our current infrastructure in practices."Not at all. I think that European rolling stock would have fared better period. At 10MPH the crash energy elements built into the rolling stock would have failed in a controlled manner, bringing the train to a sudden but safe stop on the track. There might have been some injuries aboard the train, but without the structure falling on the car there more than likely would not have been fatalities. |
