CE: Train accident in Shanghai

 Reading the world event's that happened in Asia on Aljazeera caught my mind.
What?!! another train accident AGAIN??
One just happened in Wenzhou, Beijing not long ago in July. Two high speed trains collided each other, and four car trains fell off the rail.  About three hundreds of passengers were injured and killed in this accident.

This train accident happened in Beijing, China. More than two hundreds of people were injured in this accident, and all of the passengers were very alarmed. But this time, the train accident happened because one train hit another train's rear-end.

Fortunately, no death reports of any passengers were reported, but some of the pictures on the website show some of the passengers were bleeding and were in pain. I feel sorry for the senior passengers and infants because some are not even walking that well, and some are disabled too.

The metro company in Beijing said about five hundreds of the passengers had been evacuated from the trains, and about two hundred forty of the injured passengers had been sent to the hospital. They immediately closed down all the train stations to prevent any other problems occur on that day. 

I wonder if the metro company will pay for the medical and injure fees for the injured passengers and innocent ones, since they are just trying to reach there destination, and unfortunately got in a train accident and a lot of them  got injured.
The Chinese Government should improve and check more carefully for each trains speed and destination reaches so there won't be such tragic event will happen again in the future.
