The accused prisoner, Osman Yıldırım, who was accused of causing the accident to happen because he forgot to change the scissors that allowed the trains to enter different tracks, said, “I thought I was doing it but I did not. The accident happened because the train that had to go on Line 2 went from Line 1 ”.
İÇİN NON-WORKERS WERE NOT WORKING NIGHT TO MAKE MESSAGE ”
Stating that the scissors are frozen because the heating system does not work in the scissors, Yıldırım said that the scissors named M74 did not work and that it was never shown to him. Stating that he was not working after 23.00:4 at night to avoid working overtime, Yıldırım explained that the weather was cold, working alone and not being educated, said: “I did not know that I would work alone that day. At 5-12 o'clock, there was a frost warning on scissors on radios from Eryaman. I was trying to make the scissors of the 13th road with the instructions of the operations officer. It was frozen and the scissors were frozen. The scissors have a heating system but it was not working. I had trouble making scissors. The operations officer said that the train would come from the 11th road. I dealt with it and did it. This time I went to make the scissors on the 4th road that crashed. My hand and foot were frozen. I was cold since 5-11. I made a scissor, I guess did not make a full lock. I entered the hut. I made XNUMX's scissors. The train passed in front of me but I was not able to see which line it was on. Then the accident occurred and I was in shock. ”
“NO FLAGS WARNING”
Answering the questions of his lawyer Mehmet Eker, Yıldırım said that the hut was not in a place where he could see the M74 scissors, and that there were no red and green flags used for warning in the hut. ” When the client's lawyers asked the control system that the scissors were properly replaced, Yıldırım emphasized that the electronic warning system does not have signaling and that the accident will not happen if the signaling system is present.
Sinan Yavuz, the defendant in custody of the dispatcher, stated that he was in charge of sending the train. Explaining that he sent the guide train as the first job on the accident, Yavuz said, “Then I waited for collateral from Osman Yıldırım. After a while, Yıldırım called me and said that there was no locking sound on the M90 scissors. So I told the coming train to come slowly. As the train entered, I called Yıldırım on the technical phone. He said that the scissors were jammed and there was no problem cleaning it. ”
IZ THERE WAS NO CHANCE TO DIFFERENCE ”
Yavuz said that the guide train was reported to have arrived in Eryaman, and that he followed the confirmation over the system and called the watch mechanic and sent the 06.30 train after calling traffic control. Indicating that there is no chance to notice because there is no signal system, Yavuz said that they had no opportunity to follow and know which line he went from.
Detained defendant traffic controller Emin Ercan Erbay said that it is not possible to see the position of the truss from where he sits: “The signaling system ends in Sincan. There is no system that shows the direction of the trains on the board I am looking at. If it were, none of us would be here today. ”
