Today a train stopped at a sign , but unfortunately the next train moving in the same line continued at its full speed , the result was 58 dead and 178 injured


Hearing that there was atrain accident is not considered now a hot news in Egypt , it is the every day event ,the egyptina railways are living now one of its worst conditions since it was built !!

At this hard time there is only one question , who is responsible? Who will take the responsibility for this disaster ?

I believe that there is a filter for this responsibility in egypt , the ladder of responsibility stops always at a certain altitude !! leaving us no choice to judge the right person .

What is remarkable is that who ever takes the highest chair in this ladder and start to modify in the system of trains doen’t have a chance to do any thing , because once he takes the lead a disaster occurs , and instead of looking for the reasons and try to fix it , they look for who will be removed and replaced !!!

Those who were burned alive few years ago .. did their families receive any amount of money ? did they receive what they were promised to have ? most of them needed this money , it was a life of death matter for them.

The funny thing is that we already have previous accident that has an opened file till now , and our government come out to say that we will pay for those who were injured in the last accident ,cant they wait till they finish the first case before giving more promises they will never keep ??

The system of trains is very very old , and using old fashion equipments , even trains are not connected to the outer world !!

Once the driver take the train outside the station he is isolated of the world , if any thing happened he will never know and he will never have the ability to avoid any accident ,, assuming he will stay alive , at this case he willgo to jail , the poor man never had a chance of survival .
This system needs a revolution not only changing the headquarter once a disaster occur , we have to start looking at problems and first step on solution is to find causes with honest intention to rebuild this system , and make it more safe.

I think the government is now trying anew technique to reduce the population , and solve as much as possible of our problems , and it is working ,in this new technique the father dies , and the son doen’t find who will raise him , so he doesn’t go to school because he have to work for living at small age , this way schools will be kept clean and empty ,and god knows how many other problems will be solved this way!!

I very much agree with you. People tend to escape their responsibilities by distracting themselves, and us, in their sole pursuit of placing blame(which will somehow bring about atonement for both their guilt and inadequacies). This pursuit basically manifests itself in the cathartic act of removing the scape-goat and replacing someone (identical) who in all likelihood is going to mess up in some similar way (whether or not it ends as tragically as the last) because the whole system has gone to rot. How many times can you plaster over a crack that just won't heal itself?
P.S. How come you never write about anything cheerful?
:p
