Official: At least 18 die in Belgian train crash
Driver on commuter route ‘apparently did not heed a stop light’ near capital
BRUSSELS - Two commuter trains collided head-on Monday after one ran a stop light at rush hour in a Brussels suburb, killing at least 18 people, a Belgian official said. Other officials said the death toll was higher.
The impact peeled away the front of one train car and threw at least one other off the tracks, causing amputations and other severe injuries, witnesses and officials said. Train service across across Western Europe was disrupted.
Lodewijk De Witte, the governor of the province of Flemish Brabant, told reporters four hours after the crash that the official death toll was 11. He said one train "apparently did not heed a stop light."

You know, this sort of thing just shouldn't happen. I mean, there must be better conductors in other parts of the world because it just would never happen there.
But anyway, those trains were ugly, aesthetically speaking. Why build trains like that? There isn't a point...
