exactly...39 dead and we should feel more confident, that's how shitty we are
Compared to road deaths that's practically nothing. Obviously 39 dead are 39 too many, and in terms of railway disasters it's a lot, but in the bigger picture it's a blip
Tragedies like this do happen elsewhere. It's just important to make sure they don't happen twice for the same reason.
