In France, the error in the train crash was confirmed: in France last Friday, the 6 person was killed and 200 was injured. The French National Railway Company (SNCF) confirmed that the 10 in the scissor maneuver is due to the removal of metal parts that weigh in weight. The investigation is focused on this point. The company announced that the rails were last checked two weeks ago and no malfunction was found. Similar 5 tracks in the railway network began to be examined.
