Terrible train accident in Turkey!

Just heard on the news earlier today that Turkey’s new express train de-railed between Istanbul and Ankara. [:(]

Not many details as yet. Apparently the last carriage de-railed, then several more, and the death toll has risen over 100. Those poor people! [:(]

Has anyone “up over” heard any more about how it happened?

I feel sorry for the families,That IS very sad.
I don’t think I’ve heard anything on our news about it,just yet.
I’ll try to check CNN and see if I can find out anything.

I was just going to post about this, you beast me to the punch… death toll lowered to 36.

Dave, thanks for the website address. At least the death toll has fallen, instead of risen.

Dave M,
THANK YOU for the link.
I was going in to pull up CNN on TV.
It’s bad enough it happened,but like Kozzie said…
I still feel sorry for families.

I agree Walt, I hope the families get plenty of support…

I guess time will tell what caused it…
