Runaway train crashes into third floor of Hilsinki Hotel

Run_to_da_hills · 2010-01-05 13:43:18

Luckily train crew were able to contact the main station in advance and evacuate the area when a double decker train slammed into a mainline station and into the third floor of a hotel at the end of the buffers. I wonder did anyone catch this happening on video giving of its advanced warning?…

Didn't know Finland had double deckers, learn something new every day.

Looks like the whole train had faulty brakes rather than just the one carriage

It still won't beat the Harcourt St Crash of 1900.
