Train undergoing tests on the new high speed line derailed

Wow, another tragedy. A train undergoing tests on the new high speed line derailed killing 10 and injuring 30.

I guess you mean the TGV test run near Strasbourg, France.

Yeah, painful story

Strasbourg? In Germany? France has held Alsace-Lorraine since 1945...
Easy mistake to make though.

If the Country of France was in a lockdown from the "Friday the 13th" incident(s), why were they running a high speed test train on the 14th ? I'm sure not going to be a front row seat ticket holder on any brand new built rollercoaster, especially the day after "Friday the 13th" ... It only stands to reason that the two incidents are related ... maybe not ... but bad timing, and it should have been rescheduled !

Conspiracy nutjob much? Five are dead, have a bit of sensitivity.

The two incidents were unrelated. The crash was an accident, the train was going too fast. It has nothing to do with terrorists, Friday the 13th or any other superstition. Hundereds of people travel in cars, planes, trains and boats on Friday 13th without incident.
