Tuesday about 7 a.m., two passenger trains each going about 62 miles an hour, hit head on. There are 10 people dead and over 50 have been injured.
Although identification of all the victims still has not been completed, the two drivers of the trains seem to be among the dead and verification still has to be made.
A part of Germany called Mangfall Valley, which is surrounded by trees is where the collision took place. 37 miles southeast of Bavarian, which is the capital of Munich.

One man told reporters “There’s a curve there, so we must assume that the train drivers must not have been able to see each other beforehand,”
One train car was totally dismantled due to the other train plowing right through it.
The collision is being investigated as to why or how this accident was even possible.
Imaging each of these trains going 62 miles an hour the destruction it has done. Then imagine in Japan they just finished testing on a speed rail.
Speed rail called the Magley was tested at going 603 miles an hour.
How fast is too fast on these tracks.
