Train derailments and explosions and chemical spills

This may well be due to a lack of maintenance of the railway infrastructure. But it is odd that all this should happen in such a short period of time.


Translation: "Since the terrible train accident in Spain, there have been thousands of comments from Israelis celebrating the deaths of Spaniards.

Meanwhile, the patriots Ayuso and Abascal continue to be submissive to the genocidal regime."
 
So yeah, "bad luck". Seems to me that the improbability of it being an accident is matched by the improbability of it being sabotage.

“Bad luck” would also be the description some have used for the commuter train accident in Barcelona. The retaining wall collapsed just as the train was passing underneath it. Officially, the cause of the collapse was heavy rain, but perhaps the vibrations from the approaching train precipitated the collapse of the already weakened wall? However, I think one can also speculate that it could be a coordinated attack.

There were two other train accidents that went largely unnoticed by the media because there were no fatalities or injuries.

One occurred on Saturday in Tortosa, Tarragona:


[...] a series of explosions caused by a fallen overhead wire hitting the roof of an empty train car.

Another on Tuesday, the same night as the two accidents in Catalonia, the roof of a tram was on fire in Valencia:


A spark ignites the roof of a tram and forces traffic to be cut off on Tarongers Avenue. […] The competent authorities rule out a possible fault in the catenary as the cause of the fire

In summary, five incidents in four days.

It is true that there is talk of significant investment and care being taken with the rail network, but at the same time, for years there have also been numerous complaints from users and train drivers denouncing the poor state of the infrastructure (delays, power cuts, derailments, rattling trains).

If we add to this the fact that the Ministry of Transport is involved in several cases of government corruption, the feeling among many Spaniards is that the money is not being invested wisely and is being squandered, and that those in charge are incompetent. Just a few names:

-The former Minister of Transport (Ábalos) is in prison.
-The former president of ADIF (Railway Infrastructure Administrator) is charged with five crimes.
-Koldo, a security guard by profession and Ábalos's alleged “fixer”, was appointed as an advisor to RENFE (Spanish National Railway Network). He is now in prison.
-Jéssica, Ábalos's escort, was appointed as deputy director of ADIF (Railway Infrastructure Administrator).

Many people had a feeling that something bad was going to happen with the trains.

If someone wanted to attack the Spanish government, the Spanish railway network was its weakest link. Except for leftists, everyone will point to the government as the culprit. OSIT
 
if a track has joint separation it "opens" the track circuit and no train can pass there as that section would have been seen as occupied by the traffic control systems.
Just to clarify, it's also possible that there were axle counters being used, instead of track circuit, which doesn't detect broken rail. However the 2025 renewed track was apparently also inspected as recently as in last month:
In its official statement, Adif stressed that on November 5, 2025, its experts personally inspected a four-kilometer stretch of rail near Adamuz. The inspection found no irregularities. Moreover, two additional technical checks were conducted on the Madrid-Seville line—of which the ill-fated section is a part—during the autumn: a geometric test using a special train on October 3, and a dynamic assessment on November 21, in which the rail response was evaluated while the train was in motion.
The situation raises questions: if inspections were carried out regularly and the equipment didn’t detect any problems, why did such a serious accident occur just two months after the last check? Concerns about the quality of oversight and the true condition of the infrastructure are intensifying. Nevertheless, Adif officials insist that all procedures were strictly followed according to regulations and any deviations should have been identified and corrected.
 
Another train accident today at Alumbres, Cartagena,

Train smashes into crane in Spain leaving several injured.


In French we say "Jamais deux sans trois". That means never 2 without 3.

But I think that, from what I've heard, there have always been small train accidents, only we didn't talk about them, but now we have to talk about them, it sells news, it allows us to talk about this instead of talking about corruption, it gives people anxiety, etc.

I also have my own opinion; there's a lack of focus, perhaps even fatigue due to the injections. But maybe I'm completely off base.

And yesterday, Wednesday, there was another derailment:

Another derailment in Spain: Tenerife tram collides with a bus in an accident with no injuries


Perhaps, as you say, after the Adamuz accident, minor railway accidents that have always occurred are now receiving maximum media attention... But there is something that I find very suspicious in a video about the accident in Adamuz, which killed more than 40 people.

It is a video that claims that forty-eight hours after the accident, the Alvia locomotive had already been scrapped (cut up and recycled), and it shows images of a hydraulic demolition and recycling shear in action, cutting and crushing thick metal parts.

This reminds me that the trains affected by the March 11 attacks (March 11, 2004, in Madrid) were scrapped very quickly, destroying all the evidence.

The video questions the official version of a track break and puts forward interesting hypotheses about what could have happened that are more consistent with sabotage. It's a shame that the video is in Spanish because it's very interesting. The author is a lawyer but has been advised by industry experts in this investigation.

Here is an AI translation. I haven´t checked it thoroughly, but it should be clear enough. Interesting, @OrangeScorpion!

again I repeat—events or incidents, accidents in this case of social and political significance, actually fits with reality or instead responds more to political convenience or to a constructed narrative designed to move forward without truly addressing the real causes of the problem, as has happened before.

In this specific case, over the last four days we have seen several accidents in Girona and Barcelona, and of course the tragic incident in Adam, which has already claimed 42 lives. There is enormous political convenience, enormous disinformation, and enormous interest on the part of all the actors currently on the political chessboard to sell a narrative either to assign blame or to absolve themselves, and that is not the purpose of this video.

I am going to present what I will say next and I am going to show and analyze it in the same way I would as a lawyer in a courtroom, based on what we know so far and what is within our reach. It is true that I have also had access—and you will see this exclusively—to direct information from people who have been working on site at the accident: the Military Emergency Unit, the Civil Guard, and firefighters. But I will present and approach the elements of the case file in order to clarify the facts, to clarify what has happened, and from there for each person to draw their own conclusions or carry out the appropriate investigations in a courtroom.

After 24 hours of extremely intense work, I must tell you that the first thing that surprised me, the first thing that caught my attention—obviously after the first day, when we were all shocked and immersed in grief—gave rise to expectation, curiosity, and, in some statements and pieces of information, to genuine puzzlement.

Yesterday we saw in the media that the most difficult task was reaching the Alvia train, that the Irio wagons first had to be removed, and that the area and the catenary had to be cleared in order to allow access for heavy-tonnage cranes.

This caught my attention powerfully because, while it was being said that efforts were underway to reach the Alvia in order to remove its wagons, the Alvia locomotive itself was being dismantled using a hydraulic demolition shear, reduced to scrap without any apparent justification. At that point, there were supposedly no bodies trapped, and even if there had been, we are talking about the first car—the one that allegedly derailed or caused the derailment. Precisely there is where fundamental evidence should exist: impacts, marks, traces that would explain why and how the Alvia train derailed.

In other railway accidents, such as the Valencia metro accident of 2006 or the Santiago high-speed train crash, the cars were preserved for years until all judicial investigations had concluded. In this case, the Irio wagons have been removed for later analysis, but the Alvia locomotive has been destroyed and no longer exists. Today, its remains have disappeared as if it had never existed.

This means that it will never be known whether it bore impact marks, whether there was a collision with the Irio, or whether there was evidence contradicting the official version. The fundamental element needed to prove this has already been eliminated.

Based on a photograph taken by the Civil Guard’s forensic unit showing a broken section of track, a media narrative has been constructed pointing to a faulty weld as the cause of the accident. According to this version, the Irio would have broken the track, derailed, and that damage would then have caused the Alvia to derail.

That version must be proven. And to do so in a courtroom, no loose ends can remain. If I were the lawyer representing the victims, the first thing I would do would be to request a complete photographic record of the area.

When analyzing the images, fundamental questions arise. If that point truly were the beginning of the derailment, locomotives weighing 14 tons traveling at 210 km/h would have left obvious marks: pulverized sleepers, destroyed ballast, and clear traces of wheels running off the track. Yet none of that appears for hundreds of meters.

What is observed instead is a very specific break in the rail, with deformation consistent with a powerful torsional force, not with continuous wheel movement off the track. There are no damaged catenary poles and no destroyed sleepers until much further on.

This rules out that point as the origin of the derailment. The real marks appear hundreds of meters later, practically where the remains of the Alvia ended up.

At that precise point something highly significant occurs: the beginning of a track switch, the so-called points. Exactly where the switch begins and ends is where the characteristic destruction of a true derailment is observed.

By counting poles, analyzing photographs, and locating debris—such as the Irio bogie, a metal structure weighing between four and six tons—it is possible to establish with considerable precision where the derailment of both trains occurred.

The distance between the broken rail point and the actual derailment point is approximately 300 meters, with no intermediate marks. This indicates that the track break was not the cause but rather the consequence of a torsional force produced when a wheel struck a metal element of the switch.

There are unpublished photographs showing severe deformations in wheels, consistent with impacts against metal, not stone. This reinforces the hypothesis of a failure in the switch system, whether due to poor configuration, deficient maintenance, or even an external alteration.

This hypothesis would explain why the Irio driver speaks of a “snag” and why the Alvia derails upon reaching the same area, without the need for a prior collision between the trains.

It is also striking that a bogie weighing several tons appears hundreds of meters away without the surrounding vegetation showing damage, something difficult to reconcile with a violent ejection at high speed.

High-speed rail tracks are continuously inspected using machines and electronic systems that detect cracks and defects. A track suddenly breaking without warning is extremely rare. A different matter altogether is the general deterioration due to lack of investment, which does exist and has been documented for more than a decade.

This video does not seek to assert absolute certainties, but rather to raise questions that are not being asked in the mainstream media. From my point of view, the key element in this accident is the switch system.

The problem is that there are already pieces of evidence that will never be able to be analyzed, such as the Alvia locomotive. Its destruction prevents any independent counter-expert analysis.

I hope that a thorough investigation is carried out and that it is explained why such a crucial element was dismantled with such haste.

The only thing that can truly close an incident are the facts: expert analyses, physical marks, and technical examinations—not official narratives or the most convenient hypotheses.

That is all. I hope this document has been of interest to you. Please share it.

A strong embrace of health and collective freedom.
