The fatal accident involving two high-speed trains on Saturday evening is a reminder that safety can never be over-emphasized.
The death toll from the collision in Wenzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, has reached 35 with 192 injured and the Ministry of Railways has already published an open apology.
The accident happened when a lightening strike cut power to one train, bringing it to a halt, and it was then hit in the rear by a following train.
