About 118mph. The driver had even posted pics on FB going fast before (130+mph though there are stretches where trains can go this fast).
-
a passenger just said that it was going 200 kph

Fuck

Why aren't there limits to how fast he can push the speed on certain parts of the track?

The government can save us!

for things like public safety, often some regulation is okay.
imagine an airline industry with zero regulation. Or a food industry. beef can be shipped from anywhere with no standards - are you buying a burger tomorrow? I'm not.
Point is, the dude could have had a heart attack just as easily as pushing the speed just to be a jackass. With hundreds of lives at risk, there is no way to put in a variable speed governor/regulator to keep the speed under x mph on certain parts of the track?

Better enclose the track too, lest a rock finds itself windfallen onto the rail.
Probably need body cavity searches and other security measures before boarding too.
I'm buying a burger tomorrow because I like eating dead animals, can taste rotten meat whether or not the government protects me from it, and trust the butcher I'm buying it from because killing off his customer base with rancid animal tissue is bad for business and he's not into the whole "defendant in the people vs. deadly meat seller" scene.

For real? lol... you don't like the idea of being able to stop a lone idiot from pushing the vehicle to crash speeds on vertain vulnerable parts of track, if the technology is available?
I'm not worried about impinging on the 'freedoms' of a train operator with 200 lives at his fingertips. I am worried about the rights of the hundreds of passengers. I doubt any sane, reasonable train engineer would say "I don't want the job because your train won't let me do 120mph when I should be doing 40mph."
However, as someone who loves to argue with anything, I do admire your approach on this thread :)

One confounding variable: this is public transport, so owned and operated by the government anyway.

I'm all for over-regulation and intrusive safety measures. Without them we're left to keep ourselves safe.
The government is the only thing that can keep us safe by protecting us from ourselves!

Shouldn't these things be remote controlled and not be able to get up to speeds like that with corners approaching...Hell cars have backup sensors and will hit the brakes if something is behind you be these trains don't have multiple sensors so things like this are next to impossible?

Crazy, eh? It's like going to Niagra falls and there not being a railing to keep you from walking straight over the edge or a buying a sword without a "do not stab sword into your stomach" sticker!
What's going to keep people from walking right over the falls or disemboweling themselves?
-
Unfortunate event.
You shouldn't fool around when you have lives of hundreds on your shoulders.

I don't know how stuff like that and stepping inside a train and expecting not to get smashed into a concrete wall at 200 kph relate to each other...

Right...Because when they build roller coasters, they leave it all up to the operator to make sure the safety of the people are taken care of...lol

Yes, they said in news that kind of accident would be practically impossible in Finland because the driver of the train just can't exceed the speed limits.
I have always thought that's the case with all modern trains.

it makes sense. I don't think that really restricts the "rights" of the train drivers. Heck, the man behind the wheel could have a heart attack or something.

One would think every 1st world country would have that technology in place...Amazing that it isn't...
