Dat is het punt niet.
Wel of niet kuddegedrag is niet wat aan de orde is; het gaat erom of je überhaupt compassie kunt hebben met mensen die meegaan met dat kuddegedrag.
Blijkbaar dus niet, toch?quote:Op vrijdag 25 juni 2010 01:12 schreef Gia het volgende:

En ja, de rails maken een stuk verderop een flauwe bocht, weet niet of de trein van die kant kwam, zo goed is mijn Spaans niet. De andere kant op is in elk geval een recht stuk.
Maar dan nog, zelfs met zo'n flauwe bocht zie je toch de verlichting van de trein in de verte, als je die kant op kijkt.

Er waren 40 slachtoffers waarvan 12 dodelijk.
Dus er is ruimte zat, goed verlicht en een duidelijke tunnel maar toch kiezen al die mensen om hun leven op het spel te zetten onder het mom van dom kuddegedrag? Geloof jij er in?
Het gaat erom of je medelijden kunt hebben, zonder eerst eigen schuld dikke bult te roepen, met die mensen die de beslissing hebben genomen om aldus dat spoor over te gaan, Gia. Dan kun je er wel de plaatselijke geografie op GoogleMaps bij gaan zoeken en allerlei andere redeneringen erop los laten. Het gaat erom wat je voelt, innerlijk gewaarwordt als je een dergelijk nieuwsbericht hoort. Raakt het je überhaupt. Of zoek je naar omstandigheden waarom zoiets je niet hoeft te raken. Want je wilt nergens door geraakt worden. Lui die zo om het leven komen zijn dom. En jij bent niet dom. En dus is er geen genade voor dergelijke lieden, wrs nog jongeren, kinderen nog bemeten naar onze leeftijd.quote:Op vrijdag 25 juni 2010 01:12 schreef Gia het volgende:

Twelve young people were killed and a further 14 injured when a speeding train slammed into a group of revellers crossing the tracks at a seaside station near Barcelona.
The youths had just got off a commuter train that arrived in Castelldefels near Barcelona shortly before midnight.
Rather than use a pedestrian bridge just yards away to get out of the station, roughly 30 of them tried to cross the tracks on foot, witnesses said.
In a matter of seconds, a long-distance train that was not scheduled to stop at that station barrelled into them at high speed.
The train sounded its whistle in warning but there was not enough time for revellers to get out of the way, witnesses said.
Three of the injured remain in a critical condition.
El Pais newspaper said the dead were aged between 17 and 26, save for one 45-year-old woman.
Marcelo Cardona, a Bolivian in his 30s who was on the commuter train, described the scene as hellish as people looking forward to a beach party with a bonfire were run over.
He said the youths crossed 'in a wave' but he himself held back and waited on the platform.
'The euphoria of getting off the train immediately became screams. There were people screaming, 'my daughter, my sister,"' Cardona said.
Cardona said he saw 'mutilated people, blood everywhere, blood on the platform'.
Felipe Elmaji, a 29-year-old Moroccan who was travelling with Cardona, said he heard a 'thump, thump of the train hitting people.'
Cardona's sister Candy recalled the shrill, piercing sound of the train's whistle as it tried to warn people to get out of the way.
'It was horrible. I can't get that sound out of my head,' she said.
High-speed impact: The Renfe train was not meant to stop at Platja de Castelldefels station, and was passing through at high speed when the accident happened
One youth who managed to cross the track told SER radio that a group of them had got off a train, which then left the station.
'At that moment a train came from the other direction and ran everyone over,' said the youth, who gave his name only as Fernando.
The station's underpass was closed - although the pedestrian bridge was open just yards away.
Mayor Joan Sau said, 'if the underpass had been used, we would probably not be talking about this tragedy right now.'
Emergency services were at the scene within minutes, but several of the injured had already been rushed away to hospitals by neighbours using private cars.
Rescue crews found dismembered bodies scattered at the scene of the accident at Castelldefels Playa station.
The group of youths had been crossing the track to head for the beach for traditional celebrations around bonfires, local radio said.
Hundreds of mostly young people were marking the festival on the beach at the north-eastern Spanish town.
St John's Day, June 24, is a public holiday in many parts of Spain and bonfire celebrations traditionally begin the night before.
The accident was Spain's worst rail tragedy since 19 people died in 2003, when two trains collided near the central Spanish town of Chinchilla.

By JOSEPH WILSON and ALAN CLENDENNING, Associated Press Writer Joseph Wilson And Alan Clendenning, Associated Press Writer – Thu Jun 24, 4:56 pm ET
CASTELLDEFELS, Spain – The last thing they heard was the piercing whistle of an oncoming train.
Moments later, dozens of mostly Latin American immigrants who crossed the tracks instead of using an underground passageway to reach a beach party in this seaside resort were dead or injured, their body parts strewn among the rails.
The express train that barreled through the station in northeastern Spain plowed into a group of young men and women that included Ecuadoreans, Chileans, Colombians and Bolivians turning a night of summer solstice celebration into carnage.
Authorities initially said 12 people were killed but Montserrat Tura, justice minister for Spain's Catalonia region where the crash happened, later told reporters that investigations showed 13 had died.
She said the bodies of seven men and one woman had been identified and that the dead were from Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia but she did not give a breakdown. Fourteen people were injured and three were in serious condition.
Spain's deadliest train accident since 2003 took place during a nationwide ritual on one of the longest days of the year called Noche de San Juan, or the night of St. John, when the blazing Spanish sun sets at 9:30 p.m.
The crowd got off a commuter train in the beach resort of Castelldefels, a 20-minute train ride outside of Barcelona, shortly before midnight Wednesday. Many jammed an underpass leading to the beach, but about 30 others climbed down from the platform and tried to scurry across the tracks, witnesses said.
Seconds later, a long-distance train that does not stop at the station crashed into the youths at high speed as its drivers sounded the whistle.
Marcelo Cardona, who was on the commuter train, said everyone aboard had been looking forward to dancing around a bonfire on the Mediterranean shore.
"The euphoria of getting off the train immediately became screams. There were people screaming, 'My daughter! My sister!'" said Cardona, a 34-year-old Bolivian. He said he saw "mutilated people, blood everywhere, blood on the platform."
Most of the victims were Latin American immigrants, said Andres Cuantero, head of a team of psychologists sent to counsel grieving relatives. Ecuador's consul for Barcelona, Freddy Arellano Ruiz, told reporters there were victims from his country, and from Bolivia, Chile and Colombia.
As the investigation got under way Thursday, the chairman of the state railway company RENFE, Teofilo Serrano, said he was "almost certain" the long-distance train was not exceeding the speed limit as it traveled through the station. He said he did not know how fast it was going.
The Spanish news agency Europa Press quoted unnamed RENFE officials as saying the train was doing 139 kilometers per hour (87 mph) and the driver tested negative for alcohol and was in shock. RENFE refused to confirm or deny the report.
The Noche de San Juan celebration takes place across Spain but with particular zeal in the Catalonia region where Barcelona is the regional capital. People light bonfires in town squares and on beaches, dance around them, drink beer, barbecue food and set off fireworks.
Felipe Elmaji, a 29-year-old Moroccan traveling with Cardona, said he heard a "thump, thump of the train hitting people."
Cardona's sister Candy recalled the train's whistle as it tried to warn people to get out of the way. "It was horrible. I can't get that sound out of my head," she said.
Cardona said the underpass was jammed with the overflowing crowd from the train. Mayor Joan Sau blamed recklessness for the deaths.
"If the underpass had been used, we would probably not be talking about this tragedy right now," he said.
But Ruiz said some in the group may have been confused after getting off the commuter train because they did not see signs indicating how to reach the underground passageway. They came across an overpass, but it was blocked off, Ruiz said.
Development Minister Jose Blanco said the victims could have prevented their deaths and injuries. "You never, never, never cross the tracks."
Victor Morlan, Spain's infrastructure secretary, said the station was remodeled last year with clear signs showing passengers where to exit, plus a loudspeaker service that issues warnings against passengers crossing the tracks.
Joan Saura, Catalonia's interior minister, said the identification of the mutilated bodies "will not be easy and it will not be fast."
Except for one woman in her 40s, all of the injured were 19 or younger and two were minors, said Marta Joves, spokeswoman for the Catalonia government's civil protection department. Of the 14 injured, one is in extremely critical condition, two are in critical condition and four have been treated and released, she said.
The Catalan regional president, Jose Montilla, said declared a day of mourning as he visited the accident scene Thursday. Flags flew at half-mast at the town hall in Castelldefels and rail crews hosed down the bloodied train tracks. Spanish King Juan Carlos also canceled the annual celebration held in honor of his Saint's day.
Enrique Sosa, a chef who works near the train station, said he rushed to the scene and helped wash off a 16-year-old boy covered in other people's blood.
"He was shaking," said Sosa, a 37-year-old Uruguayan.
Sosa then lent the boy his cell phone so he could call home.
Spain's worst previous train accident came in 2003, when 19 people died in a collision between passenger and freight trains in the southeastern town of Chinchilla.

Spanish officials have blamed summer solstice party-goers for crossing the tracks into the path of an express train that killed at least 13, but others said a new underground exit was poorly marked and an old crossing was blocked off, leaving travellers confused.
In addition to the dead, at least 14 were injured in the beach resort of Castelldefels, south of Barcelona, shortly before midnight on Wednesday as crowds of young people left a train heading for bonfires on a Mediterranean beach. Many jammed the underpass leading to the beach, but about 30 others climbed down from the platform and tried to scurry across the tracks.
They were struck by a train passing through the station in north-eastern Spain.
Development Minister Jose Blanco has denied claims the underpass was poorly marked, and insisted that passengers should have known that "you never, never, never cross the tracks".
"Everything pointed to negligence," Mr Blanco added, saying he hoped the tragedy would make passengers understand that they must obey station rules.
But Arrellano Ruiz, the Ecuadorian consul in Barcelona, said passengers did not see the signs for the underpass exit and mistakenly headed to a footbridge that had been closed since a 2009 renovation.
Victor Morlan, Spain's infrastructure secretary, acknowledged that the bridge has been blocked off since last year but insisted there were enough signs telling passengers how to safely reach the beach.
"It had a sign system that was well made and it had a loudspeaker service that pointed out that the tracks must not be crossed," Mr Morlan said.
Most of the victims were Latin American, but authorities did not identify them or release a breakdown of their nationalities.
Of the 14 injured, one was in extremely critical condition, two were in critical condition, officials said. Except for one woman in her 40s, all of the injured were 19 or younger and two were minors.
