that's My World, Stavoren Trainaccident.

Yesterday the inhabitants of Stavoren, in the north of the Netherlands, missed being killed by a train that had been derailed. Fortunately there were no casualties, but the damage of this weird accident is great . I just read that the train was empty except for four Italian men who were supposed to service the train. The train was driven at a very high speed. The Italians probably didn't know how to handle this train.

Oh my gosh, that's terrible, a train in the middle of the houses!
What luck that no one was hurt.
Weird indeed.

Oh my, what a freak accident! Do they know what caused the train to derail?

Amazing that there were no casualties. I imagine there were wounded people though, unless there was no one on board.

What a terrible accident, but of course broken trains can be mended. We can't always mend broken bodies.

In light of the fact that this was on the cusp of being a very tragic accident, <> will resist the temptation to joke about the Italians involved...
