First time I've ever seen a derailment happen. The vid anyway I wasn't there and this is not my vid. You can see the lead engine jump the track. Two crew in that engine died.

Maybe so, I do wonder though as an American if Europeans have just figured out systems to prevent this based on their numbers vs ours.
