Sunday's high-speed train crash in southern Spain, the worst in over a decade, has been a devastating tragedy for the country, with the loss of at least 42 lives. Amid the grief, many are asking what could have caused such a failure on one of Europe's most admired rail systems. The CIAF rail investigatory commission has started analysing why a train travelling north from Málaga was derailed, causing it to collide with an oncoming train. The Spanish government has described the accident as 'extremely strange'. Three bodies were recovered on Tuesday afternoon, and a 42nd victim was also found at the crash site near Adamuz. The shock felt in this sleepy town is compounded by confusion at how a rail route that long ran efficiently failed so dramatically. Investigators are closely examining potential issues with the derailed train, owned by Italian firm Iryo, manufactured in 2022. The government is also scrutinizing the section of the track where the derailment occurred, where some evidence suggests damage may have preceded the crash. As the investigation unfolds, calls for clarity and reassurance about the safety of Spain's high-speed rail network intensify.
