There was no fault on the part of the train or its operation. Based on accounts including photos on other news sites a large truck rolled off a road on a cliff above the tracks and struck the fifth car in the train as the train exited a tunnel. It is the sort of nightmare that train operators have no control over.

Fighto!
Only if so requested. This is small accident site (think: tunnel!) and more people crawling around in the small space certainly does not help, especially if they don´t even speak the language.
About the cause of the accident, do you have reason to think it is something different than the truck that collided with the train? Why?

What a tragedy. I feel for the families of those left, what a terrible time to go through.

Japanese technology meets Chinese know-how.
Looks like they got the technology part right...

Sadly there will be more graves to be tended.

I hope he gets sent to prison for his lack of judgement in leaving the handbrake off.
And never gets out.

This is sad. I tried to use this line before, but it was closed because of landslides. Taiwan is very beautiful. RIP

Tina, it's the thought that counts. The two countries commonly provide mutual aid in times of disaster.
Fighto!
Shocking news.
As Taiwan is Japans closest friend, especially in times of disaster, Japan should send rescue teams to help, and engineers to determine how this tragedy occurred.
Rest in Peace to the poor victims.

Ouch, a terrible number, and several carriages inside a tunnel too.
