Does leaked audio show human error led to Spanish train crash?

Spain's government has declared three days of mourning after the country's second high-speed rail disaster this year killed 69 people. Wednesday's crash in the central province of Toledo, in which one train struck a stationary train from behind, derailing three carriages, raises fresh concerns about the safety of the country's rail network. Search teams with sniffer dogs continued to look for victims on Thursday morning, while cranes helped shift the carriages as police and soldiers helped pick through the wreckage. One more body was found overnight, taking the death toll to 69, according to the regional leader of Castilla La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pledged an investigation into the collision and improvements to prevent further tragedies on the railways as he visited the crash site near the town of Urda. As recently as January, 46 people died when one train jumped the track and slammed into the side of another going the opposite way in southern Spain. Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente said that the crash was caused by what he called an “inexplicable” order from a central command centre for Spain’s trains after a security system had failed. He said the train engineers were not to blame. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on X:   / itvnews
