China High Speed Rail Update

China's Wen visited the train crash scene.

Things I did not realize:

1. Japan's bullet train has had 1 fatality in its operating history (the automatic doors).
2. France's trains have had zero fatalities.
3. The two trains that crashed were operated by different railway bureus.
4. Lightning is a regular issue/occurance.
5. There were a half dozen power failures before the incident.
6. The 5 year old girl who was rescued after the search had eneded.
7. Per the people's daily, the training for the Engineer only took 10 days.

History of high speed propaganda tells all - China Media Project

The official popaganda guidelines is a great read.  The focus on articles are to be ones that are extremely moving, such as taxi drivers refusing fairs, etc.
