WTH. how did the truck slide on the track? 

this is a design problem. should have elevated tracks or barriers to prevent things getting on the track.

looking at the pictures of the track environment.. its an accident waiting to happen.

someone's head should roll for this.

after seeing the video, seeing the train split down the middle in half.. it just makes me angry. I can imagine the victims family must be very angry also.

The Lorry that rolled down to the Track & caused this Accident,the Driver need to get the Death Sentence..Parked on Slope without Handbrake .

Sigh.... RIP. But I’m not surprised that this comes from Taiwan. It’s a developed country  in Asia that has the most lax safety standards.

I think is a curse, 2 major train accidents in 2 years and 2 fighter jets accidents (3 jets crashed) within 6 months, not to mention the drought now.

Working frequently with Taiwanese company,  I never believe their safety practice. All just paper talk only. 

No actual action.
