Odisha train crash result of human error, sabotage? Amid multiple theories, probe begins

奥里萨邦火车事故是人为失误还是蓄意造成的？众说纷纭之际，调查开始了

BALASORE/ BHUBANESWAR: Amid different theories doing the rounds about the possible reasons for the horrific accident involving three trains near Balasore and the railway ministry maintaining that the exact cause of this unusual crash would be known only after a detailed investigation, one fact stood out — the Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express entered a wrong track moments before the pile-up.

关于这起发生在巴拉索尔附近的三列火车相撞的可怕事故的可能原因，众说纷纭，印度铁道部坚持认为，只有在详细调查后才能知道这起不寻常事故的确切原因，但有一个事实引人注目——沙利玛-金奈科罗曼德尔特快列车在事故发生前进入了错误的轨道。

According to the short brief on the accident issued by the railways, “Up Train No 12841 (Shalimar-Madras) passing through Up main line met with an accident and dashed with a stationary goods train in Up loop line at Bahanaga Bazar. The train was going at full speed across the station as it was not supposed to stop at the station.” This indicates that Coromandel Express entered the loop line and hit the goods train from the rear.”

根据铁路部门发布的事故简报，“12841次列车(沙利玛-马德拉斯)穿过Up干线时发生事故，在Bahanaga Bazar与Up环线上的一列固定货物列车相撞。火车正全速穿过车站，因为它不在该站停靠。”这表明科罗曼德尔快列进入环线，从后面撞上了货运列车。”

The impact was such that 21 coaches of Coromandel Express derailed with three coaches infringing on the parallel main line, colliding with the rear of Down Train No 12864 Yeshvantpur-Howrah Express which was passing through the station. Two of the coaches of the Howrah-bound train were derailed.

猛烈的撞击造成科罗曼德尔快列的21节车厢脱轨，其中3节车厢窜到了平行的主干线，与正在通过该站的12864次耶什万普尔-豪拉快列的尾部相撞。这列开往豪拉的列车有两节车厢出轨。

TOI has learnt that the statement of loco pilot of Coromandel Express, who has received injuries, will be crucial in the investigation.

《印度时报》获悉，受伤的科罗曼德尔特快列驾驶员的陈述将对调查至关重要。

‘There was a loud sound and the train was almost tossed’

“一声巨响，火车几乎被掀翻了。”

Responding to a question on whether any sabotage caused the accident, a railway spokesperson said, “The cause of the accident is not known. The detailed inquiry will determine the cause.”

在回答是否有人为破坏导致事故发生时，一位铁路发言人说：“事故原因尚不清楚。详细的调查将确定事故原因。”

May be sabotage intentionally it seems as train wrongly directed on loop line. Why?

可能是蓄意造成的，似乎列车是被误导上了环线。为什么?

Mohandas MT

Without manual changes, the train loop cannot change automatically. So we cannot dismiss the possibility of sabotage.

没有人为改动，列车环路不能自动改变。所以我们不能排除蓄意破坏的可能性。

Some people are commenting that BJP/Modi is responsible for this incident.

They should remember during Congress more bomb blasts happened killed thousands of people.

They should use some common sense that Modi and Railway minister are not loco pilots or station masters to watch every train. There was a human error from someone. Before the incident everything ran smoothly on the same track.

Pakistan floods killed thousands, Pakistan is collapsing begging for food Modi is responsible.

有些人评论说，人民党/莫迪应对这起事件负责。

他们应该记住，在国大党期间发生的炸弹爆炸事件更多，造成数千人死亡。

他们应该有点常识，莫迪和铁路部长不是火车驾驶员，也不是监视每列火车的站长。这是某人的人为失误。事故发生前，同一条轨道上的一切都很顺利。

巴基斯坦洪水造成数千人死亡，巴基斯坦正在崩溃，乞讨食物，莫迪要对此负责吗？

Lalit Khanna

Maxmum number of train accidents happened in a single year thus far is 2012 when congress was ruling. So people here who post useless comments blaming bjp should stop doing politics with a tragedy and go read history properly.

到目前为止，发生最多火车事故的一年是2012年，是国大党执政时期。所以那些在这里发表无用评论、指责人民党的人应该停止利用悲剧来搞政治，好好读读历史吧。

Sonsen

This unfortunate incident is the result of cruel and faulty policies of BJP since they took office. They have caused immense damage to all the institutions in the country.

这起不幸事件是人民党上台以来残酷、错误政策的结果。他们对印度的所有机构造成了巨大破坏。

As an engineer with knowledge of controls, my theory is that this was a case of failure of fail-safe mechanism with the signal. The Coromandel Express should have received green signal to proceed on the mainline while the track switch was still aligned with the loop line, a situation which should have never happened. Possibly, poor maintenance of the track switch and its associated signal system was responsible for this ghastly tragedy!

作为一名工程师，我认为这是一个故障安全机制与信号失效的案例。科罗曼德尔快列本应在轨道开关仍与环线对齐时收到绿色信号，在主线上行驶，这种情况本不应该发生。可能是轨道开关及其相关信号系统的维护不善造成了这场可怕的悲剧

Let's take care of dead and help all we can for the injured to recover. The detailed investigation will discover the WHYs and HOWs and then the laws will take over.

安排好死者的后事，尽我们所能帮助伤者康复。详细的调查将查明原因，然后依法处理。

Madhukar Barve

Now opposition seem to have got a god sent opportunity to bash modi. Now some stupid lawyer will file a PIL to for supreme court enquiry. and public will never know true facts or any measures taken by authorities to avoid such things from happening in future.

现在反对派似乎得到了一个抨击莫迪的天赐良机。一些愚蠢的律师会向最高法院提交公益诉讼。公众永远不会知道真相，也不会知道当局采取了什么措施来避免未来发生类似的事故

Venkatesan Anantharaman

The death toll is high, the injured are approxmating a thousand. It's a national tragedy. Let's not hazard a guess as to the cause of the disaster till the Railways complete their investigation. Our politicians who visit the accident site, particularly those in the opposition, should desist from airing their views at this stage

死亡人数很高，受伤人数接近一千人。这是国家的悲剧。在印度铁道部完成调查之前，我们不要贸然猜测造成这场灾难的原因。去过事故现场的政界人士，特别是在野党人士，在这个阶段不要发表意见

Amrit Bindra

Most likely sabotage. Opposition’s strategy for elections!

很可能是蓄意破坏造成的。反对派的选举策略

iq q

no govt will agree that it is their blame this govt will pass the buck to previous, previous will pass to current ultimately the loco pilot will be found drunk or the rail line sabotage. point the truth will never come out and 300 people and 1000 family lost forever

没有哪个政府会承担错误，政府会把责任推给前任，前任又会推给现任，最终会发现是火车驾驶员喝醉了，或者铁路线遭到破坏。真相永远不会大白，300个人，1000个家庭被毁了

Mohandas MT

Why must we bring politics here? If there is a management error then the concerned person must take the responsibility and move out. Compared to the previous governments a lot of development activities are happening in Indian Railways. We cannot ignore the facts. Critics who oppose BJP for everything never appreciate the good works executed by the government.

为什么我们一定要扯上政治？如果出现管理错误，那么有关人员必须承担责任并引咎辞职。与往届政府时期相比，印度铁路公司正在进行许多建设活动。我们不能忽视事实。反对人民党的批评者从不欣赏政府所做的好事。

Varun

who is going to sabotage? are you guys just trying to divert the issue of incompetency showed in public safety and upgrading the tracks

谁搞破坏？你们在维持公共安全方面无能，不升级轨道，这么说只是想转移大家的注意力

Quhesobi

Let's be honest, irrespective of the outcome of the probe, Feku and his minions will still blame Nehru and Congress for the tragedy. Therefore, SC must take the lead and look into this case before Feku further muddy up the already complicated problems of our railways.

老实说，不管调查结果如何，莫迪和他的爪牙仍会把悲剧归咎于尼赫鲁和国大党。因此，最高法院必须带头调查此案，以免莫迪进一步混淆试听，铁路问题本就复杂。

Infrastructure building takes time. This government is doing a good job. we.need to.support them.

基础设施建设需要时间。本届政府做得很好，我们要支持他们。

P P Latey

Sabotage by opponents of BJP AND BJP for sure.

肯定是人民党的对手搞的破坏。

Subir

Investigation upto deep root will be done.This deep root investigation should verify whether the responsible rail employee was from any reserve category.

进行深入调查。应核实负责的铁路雇员是否来自预留种姓。

Sg Khare

Check credentials of the person responsible to control signals.

核实负责控制信号的人员是否符合资格。

Ashok Kumar

There are far more doubts of a sabotage. By killing and injuring so many innocents, now the Congress will start projecting Modi directly responsible for the açcident, deaths who in fact is making india,s transport fast and superior. The hard work being done by Modi is not digested by Congress. The incident is unfortunate, seems engineered by Modi,s Political opponents.

更多的人怀疑这是蓄意破坏。杀了，伤了这么多无辜的人，现在国大党会开始指责莫迪，说他要对这起事故负有直接责任，实际上是莫迪让印度的交通变得更快更先进。莫迪所做的努力国大党没看到。这起事件很不幸，似乎是莫迪的政治对手策划的。

这是一场恐 怖袭击，一列火车怎么可能走错轨道，那里还停了一列货车，好好想想这是怎么回事，为什么会这样？
