Today marks the 1-year anniversary of the Tempi Valley tragedy. On the 28th of February 2023, a head-on collision occurred between two trains south of the Tempi Valley, near the village of Evangelismos in Thessaly, Greece. The collision, involving the IC62 passenger train and an intermodal freight train, killed at least 57 people, making it the deadliest rail disaster in Greek history and also the deadliest in Europe since the Santiago de Compostela derailment in 2013 (source: gaymer-hag-stan).
Despite the fact that the authorities had been REPEATEDLY warned about the instability of the railway network, no security measures were taken.
It was NOT an accident. It was premeditated crime.
