In Germany, a trial has begun in connection with a crash involving the magnetic levitation train, the Transrapid, that killed 23 people. Two supervisors are accused of failing to take the necessary safety precautions.
The accident occurred a year and a half ago on a test track in Emsland, in western Germany. The Transrapid train collided with a maintenance vehicle while travelling along the test track. The automatic alarm system was not switched on at the time of the collision.
