Amtrak Has Fourth Fatal Crash

Description

Sunday's train collision in South Carolina was the fourth fatal incident involving an Amtrak train since the start of December. The circumstances surrounding each crash vary. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating three of them, including Sunday's crash. Two Amtrak employees were killed when the train they were working on collided with a CSX freight train around 2:35 a.m. Sunday in Cayce, South Carolina. The passenger train had been diverted off the main track onto a rail siding, where it crashed into a stationary freight train, a National Transportation Safety Board official said.

Shocking Crash After Wind Turbine Dislodges from Semi Truck on German Autobahn

This giant wind turbine blade fell across the A33 autobahn, near Bielefeld, Germany on Tuesday, after a vehicle collided with the turbine blade transporter and caused it to come loose. The giant blade rolled across the German highway and collided with a nearby truck, completely destroyed its cabin. Amazingly, the driver of the semi received only light injuries. Firefighters arrived to the scene quickly and blocked off all traffic in order to deal with the bizarre accident. Vehicles were stuck on the congested motorway in queues that extended for miles, as police and emergency teams shut down the autobahn in both directions. Germany is one of the world's largest producers of wind turbines and one of the world's biggest consumers of energy generated by wind. A commercial wind turbine usually costs between 3 and 4 million dollars to produce and install.
